Petani Haven Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, located at 1840 Evergreen Street in San Mateo, California, offers a quiet, home-like assisted living setting that serves up to six residents. The facility, which opened in 2007 and holds state license number 410508482, has both semi-private and private wheelchair-accessible rooms, including 1-bedroom memory care options with private baths. Staff help residents with basic daily needs such as bathing, dressing, toileting, hygiene, and transfers, with the ability to assist those who need one or two staff members or mechanical lifts for moving between beds and wheelchairs. The facility is designed for people who need long-term, non-acute care at a lower cost than a full nursing home, and it's especially for those who appreciate a small, familiar environment with 24-hour supervision.
Petani Haven provides three home-cooked meals every day, includes options for special diets like diabetic or heart-healthy meals, and makes sure meals work for people with allergies or food restrictions. There's a mobile hairdresser, on-site beautician, and help with housekeeping, laundry, and regular cleaning. Activities and programs run every day, like movie nights, music therapy, animal visits, board games, crafts, and organized trips outdoors or off-site, with staff going along for those who need company or help. The staff encourage residents to join in planned activities that keep minds active, especially for folks with memory troubles like Alzheimer's or dementia.
The facility has indoor and outdoor common areas for socializing, a dining room, reading room, gardens, walking paths, game areas, and space for social nights and devotional services. There's a big-screen TV in the main room for movies and get-togethers, plus a jacuzzi, sauna or wellness room, and a parlor for personal care. Transportation is available for doctor visits, shopping trips, or faith activities, and they can arrange for rides as needed. Residents get help with medication, medical appointments, emergency situations, and the staff are friendly, trained, and always around. The home can support residents with bladder and bowel incontinence, and those needing blood sugar checks or diabetic care, although insulin injections might only be given if allowed by nursing staff. The home works with families and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman to keep residents' best interests at heart.
Petani Haven is a fully-furnished care home that focuses on letting people stay independent while getting help when they need it, through personalized care plans that adjust as needs change. The environment feels calm and cozy, and the small size means that everybody gets more attention. It's the kind of place where staff help out with daily life, including escorting folks around, organizing activities and outings, and handling meals and housekeeping. There are job opportunities for caregivers, nurses, and support staff, and while the facility offers a variety of services-assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and group home care-it doesn't accept Medicare unless officially certified. Residents and families can ask for tours, see the amenities, talk to staff and residents, and get more information before choosing to move in, with a Family Advisor ready to help explain things and answer questions. There are no recent reviews reported, but the facility claims its listing and lets people request availability or schedule a visit.
