We especially enjoyed going to the De Young for the Monet exhibit! When we have had an issue, it is addressed promptly and effectively by management. Highly recommend!

From the moment we arrived, we felt surrounded by people who treated my Mom with genuine kindness. Scott was incredibly compassionate and reassuring--he made us feel like Mom wasn't just moving into a facility, but into a real home. And Mildred... there are no words. She cared for our Mother as if she were her own, with so much love and tenderness. She even came to my Mom's funeral and sat with our family, which meant the world to us. The environment itself is beautiful, warm, and thoughtfully designed. The meals are restaurant-quality--menus in leather-bound books and always beautifully presented. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Oakmont Novato. They cared for my Mom in a way we will never forget.

From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a facility and more like a home--warm, loving, and full of compassion. The caregivers are truly special, especially Isabel and Gabby, whose kindness and dedication never went unnoticed. The Health and Wellness Director is simply amazing. Nav is exceptional at what she does, but more importantly, she leads with her heart. She took the time to truly know my dad and to understand what our family was going through. Once something was brought to her attention, she made sure it was addressed promptly and thoughtfully. Her kindness, patience, and gentle nature meant more to us than words can express. While there is room for improvement with the med techs, and the move-in process could benefit from clearer communication and better explanations upfront, the compassion and care we received outweighed those challenges. ED Pari was understanding, professional, and supportive during difficult moments. I am deeply grateful to Nav and the entire Vincent team for the love, support, and comfort you gave my mom and our family. Knowing that you were there--day and night--brought us peace during one of the most emotional times of our lives. Thank you for making such a difficult transition feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more filled with care.

A Truly Exceptional Community -- The Vincent, San Rafael…read more My dad has been living at The Vincent since March 2024, and the experience has grown into something truly exceptional. When he first moved in, the community was only a couple of years old and, like many new assisted-living facilities, was working through some early growing pains. Staff turnover was higher at that time, and there were occasional glitches as the building found its rhythm. Over the past year, that has changed significantly. Quality staff have stayed, new team members have been strong additions, and many of the issues we saw early on have simply disappeared. The stability and consistency now are remarkable. What has remained steady from the beginning is the heart of the community. My dad was welcomed into a warm, supportive environment where residents truly look out for one another. The caregivers are attentive, compassionate, and incredibly dedicated -- they know the residents well and treat them with genuine respect and tenderness. It feels like a place where people are cared for, not just looked after. We visit often, and our family has had many dinners in the beautiful white-tablecloth dining room. Meals are freshly prepared by the private chef, and the food is consistently very good. The Vincent also hosts happy hours a couple of times a week with live entertainment, which is a highlight for many residents and adds to the sense of community and joy in the building. The housekeeping team keeps everything spotless, and the overall atmosphere is clean, calm, and welcoming. Their points-based care system is fair and transparent, and as my dad's needs have increased, I've found their re-evaluations thoughtful and reasonable. On-site services -- like the podiatrist and monthly dentist visits -- have been invaluable. More recently, my dad's health has declined, and we are transitioning him into the Memory Care unit and beginning hospice. It's a very emotional step for any family, but the memory care team has given us tremendous comfort. The unit is bright, clean, and staffed with people who clearly have experience and a deep understanding of cognitive decline. While moving his things, I've had the chance to observe how gently they care for the most vulnerable residents. It speaks volumes about the philosophy that guides this community. Although the surrounding neighborhood is not my favorite, the quality of life inside the building is exactly why families choose assisted living. It is safe, uplifting, and genuinely resident-centered. I've been a front-line medical professional for 30 years and toured every senior living community in Marin when preparing for my parents' transition. The Vincent stands out. They have supported my dad with dignity, kindness, and professionalism -- and they've supported our family through some difficult turns as well. I'm deeply grateful for the care my dad has received here, and I hope this review helps other families looking for a place where their loved one will be truly cared for.

After "shopping" high and low throughout the Bay Area for a higher level of care for our mother, I…read moreknew Bello was the place we would choose when I first walked up the bricks steps to the front door. My intuition was confirmed over the next three weeks as we went through layers of decision making supported by the Bello staff resulting in our realization our mother needed an even higher level of care. Failure? Absolutely not! Our mother's condition declined rapidly concurrent to her move date​ -- creating surprises for all​. ​ Bello did everything possible to make it work and continued to problem solve and provide workarounds until the family decided a​ locked facility was required. During that three weeks my mother experienced true camaraderie with other residents, was consistently treated with respect (even though she was a handful) and was able to experience Bello's truly homelike atmosphere without oppressive clinical or patronizing "help." Residents are supported to be as mentally, socially, emotionally and physically independent as they can possibly be, there is a focus on community issues outside of declining health (Juanita-the-duck's leadership permeates the facility), and each individual staff person takes ownership and responsibility for the Bello mission. What can I say? The place has a good feel. We were very reluctant to let go of Bello because we trusted them. Was it perfect? No -- I can attest perfection doesn't exist anywhere at any cost when it comes to elder care. ​I've learned that t​rust is far more valuable than perfection when it comes to leaving your relative full time in the care of others. We were told on the first tour that what you see is what you get and that seemingly simple, but precious truth bore out during our three weeks ​at ​B​ello. ​I​ would highly recommend Bello ​Gardens ​to anyone wishing to place their relative in a comfortable community with experienced caregivers.

The facility is beautiful and the rooms and bathrooms have the latest features and technology for safety. The care team is young and inexperienced, clearly most of them don't have assisted living experience. The dining room is seriously understaffed. they are supposed to have food and service available from 7 am - 7 pm - it's printed on the menus. But in practice they only serve breakfast from 8 - 9:30 and lunch from 12 - 1:30 pm. There are a lot of hours during the day where residents can't get a meal. There are dining rooms on every floor but they don't really serve food. The activities director is great and finding her stride - more activities every week. The finance manager is overwhelmed; we have yet to receive a statement that is correct. The general manager is friendly and wonderful with the residents. I'm rooting for them to get it together, better train current staff, and staff up.
