Coterie Cathedral Hill

I moved my mother here from Ohio to be closer to me. I looked at many places around the entire Bay Area. Coterie was by far the most impressive facility. It has been 2 years and she and I are extremely pleased. The only downside may be the neighborhood, but for my mother of 95 years old it doesn’t come into play. The residence really have a great time with so much activities at their fingertips. I also like the no down payment. A great perk for us is the staff help get my mother’s long term care policy active which the other home was not helpful at all. I feel blessed.

The Memory Care manager, Christina Gonzalez, and the rest of the staff associated with the daily operations of the Memory Care floor do a great job taking care of all the residents under their care. I greatly appreciate all they do to try and provide the best living experience possible for my mother. Just the other day Christina volunteered to take my mom and a few of the other Memory Care residents to the S.F. opera to see Swan Lake. My mom has always loved going to the opera, but she hadn't gone in a long time because of her declining mental capacity due to Alzheimer's. She gave us a lot of push-back about going, but as I knew she would, she had a great time; and the experience has reinvigorated her into letting us take her out of the Coterie Community to watch/go to other shows and performances that we know she'll enjoy.

Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined living in a place like Coterie. I had thought that perhaps in my 80’s I would consider a senior residence when I could no longer be able to be on my own. Well, after visiting Coterie, interacting with the staff and some of the residents I decided that I could continue my life as it was but much more enriched. Here I feel welcomed, while engaging in the interesting and varied activities and events. It feels like a vacation! The staff is so dedicated to the well being of the residents: always willing to help with anything, always pleasant and loving. I am planning to spend the rest of my life in this amazing environment.
