Lilies Care Home sits in South San Francisco and offers a quiet place for seniors where the air always smells like fresh baked bread and the living room feels cozy with soft furniture, courtyards, and fireplaces, and folks seem to settle in like they're at home which is helped by having only six elderly residents at a time, so there's always someone around for a chat or a game, but never a crowd. They focus a lot on safety, paying careful attention to things like fall risks and making sure food's never spoiled, plus there are nurses on staff, a nurse on call, and people awake through the night to help out if anyone needs help with things like getting to the bathroom or taking medication. Staff help with all sorts of daily routines, from folks who need just a gentle reminder, to those who need help with bathing, dressing, and even full support for bedbound residents. They cater to both men and women, with separate care homes sometimes for female-only folks, and there's resident parking and a strict no-smoking policy inside, but pets are often allowed so people don't have to leave a furry friend behind.
The place offers different types of care, including assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, hospice, and independent living, plus specialized care for unique needs, and there's a real focus on tailoring things to each person, even with diet changes for health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes and support for things like insulin management or 2-person transfers if needed, though some services depend on staff scheduling. Meals are homemade three times daily, and you might catch the smell of something baking wafting into a sunny common room or courtyard. Transportation's arranged for things like doctor's visits, shopping, or going to church. There are activity programs like music therapy, art, movies, and fitness, board games, pet therapy visits, and frequent outings, so there's always a mix of things to do, both onsite and offsite. Beautician and barber services are either in-house or brought in through a mobile service, and therapists for speech, physical, and occupational needs visit as needed. The home often organizes devotional services for those who want them, and meals and snacks are thought out with safety and health in mind.
Lilies Care Home has semi-private and private room options, as well as several designated spaces for activities and relaxation like a book room, garden, and possibly a sauna or jacuzzi, though what's available depends on scheduling and need. They get good ratings, mostly 4.0 or 5.0 stars, and are known for having attentive, kind staff that build friendships with residents, and local experts and consultants help families navigate care options for their loved ones, including free consultations. People say the environment supports family caregivers by giving loved ones a break, and the setup is such that it feels more like a community than an institution, with each resident's dignity and comfort taken seriously. The home serves as a base for specialty care and can coordinate therapy and rehabilitation for residents who need more support, all while making sure everyone's well-being and happiness are at the center of daily life.
