I am so thankful that I chose Atria San Mateo for my mother. Everyone at the facility has always been incredibly friendly and welcoming to both my mother and our family. The caregivers are incredibly attentive and caring, taking the time to get to know my mom personally. The Life Guidance Director, is especially warm and loving, making sure that not only my mother's needs are met but also talking with her family when needed. My mother has been here for two and a half years now and we have peace of mind knowing she is in good hands.
