Westborough Royale sits in South San Francisco and is a licensed community, also part of the Berg Communities, that's been around for some time with an experienced director who's stayed over 17 years. The place feels a bit like an old European hotel with its high ceilings and sun-filled lobby, big dining room, and a patio packed with flowers that's nice to sit in when the weather's good. The common areas include an elegant library, a game room with a pool table, arts and activity rooms, and a recreation room with comfortable seats and shelves full of books. The apartments come in styles from studios to single rooms, sizing from 280 to 500 square feet, with plenty of light and even kitchenettes for making small meals, though folks can always eat in the spacious, restaurant-style dining room with big windows and an easy-to-read menu, and there's room service for those who'd rather eat in private. Residents can bring some pets, and guests can join at meal times.
The community focuses on both social activities and health support, so you'll find regular trips to museums, local churches, lectures, and shopping, along with fitness classes and a wellness room. Folks here can join lots of scheduled events, like movie nights, music programs, and even decorate for holidays, so the place feels lively and homelike, decorated in ways that are bright and familiar. The outdoor spaces-including walking paths, patios, and gardens-give space for fresh air and gathering with others, and there are accessibility tools if someone needs them. There's onsite parking for residents, an in-house salon for hair and barber services, and community-run events to help everybody get involved. The place welcomes people who need assisted living or memory care, with a range of services covering bathing, dressing, medication help, and 12-16 hour nursing care, plus a 24-hour call system if anything goes wrong.
The staff is known for being caring and creative, focusing on a safe, happy environment, whether that's through special diet meals for folks with diabetes or kidney concerns, emotional support, or helping with daily routines. The pharmacy is onsite and there's linen laundry, dry cleaning, general housekeeping, and a laundry service, so folks don't have to worry about cleaning up after themselves. For those who want a short stay, there's respite care and an adult day care center, good for families needing a break or some help now and then. Language services cover English, Tagalog, and Spanish, which helps those with different backgrounds feel comfortable. Residents use free transportation to get to appointments or activities in town, and the grounds stay secure for peace of mind. Westborough Royale is active online with photos and updates, sharing their daily life on Facebook and YouTube, and the place keeps a fair reputation, with a review score of 3.8 from four reviews. All of this comes together in a place that tries to stay elegant but still feels comfortable and welcoming, meeting many different needs as people age.
