I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mom is living in Nazareth House. We had to switch rooms a couple of times in the beginning. I don't know if there's a ton of variety with their meals.

My parents lived there for 10 years and they were always treated with great dignity and care. Wonderful friendships were made there and activities are good, food fine.

I visited this facility

We visited Nazareth House San Rafael and they seem to have good people. They offer transportation to some doctor's appointment. They offer three meals and they got pretty reasonable price. The staff are really nice and friendly.
