Manalo's Board and Care 2

Manalo's Board and Care 2 sits in a quiet South San Francisco neighborhood on Byron Drive and has room for up to 6 residents, so things feel small and home-like, not rushed or crowded, and everything's set up to give folks as much help as they need with daily activities like bathing, dressing, getting around, or taking medicine, including folks who might need help with transfers, special diets, or who use wheelchairs. People living with memory loss or dementia get plenty of attention, as the staff is trained for Alzheimer's care, with dementia-trained nurses and geriatric nurse practitioners checking in and a secure area inside and out that lets people move about without worry, plus color-coded rooms and memory support programs that lower frustration and encourage memory, and there are individual plans built for each person so no one feels left out. The community rooms, recreation areas, and regular group activities make it easy to meet others and stay active, with music therapy, pet therapy, movie nights, games, and fitness or art programs scheduled, and there's always some sort of entertainment or group project going on, so there's no need to be bored or alone. The place offers three homemade meals each day, with special meal plans for diabetes or high blood pressure when needed, and staff help with meals and check for changes in weight, so people eat well and are watched over without feeling hovered over too much. Pets like cats and dogs are welcome for folks who want the company, and the facility will set up rides to doctor's appointments or for errands, church, and even out for the occasional group outing if needed. The building itself is clean and modern, purposely set up for comfort and easy moving around, with some shared and some single bedrooms, heated common spaces, and gardens or outdoor space for some fresh air, and there may be extras like reading rooms, fitness rooms, a jacuzzi, a sauna, or game rooms, but these facilities may change over time so it's always best to check in for details. Everything runs under the state of California's rules for board and care homes, with license number 415600772, and the staff have years of experience helping older adults with high medical needs, including incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and end-of-life support if needed, and they offer respite stays if someone just needs to recover for a little bit. Manalo's Board and Care 2 takes a steady, caring approach and focuses on keeping life steady, personal, and safe for everyone who calls it home.
