A nice facility!
Cypress was a nice community but they were telling me that my aunt would need 24-hour care in addition. It was going to me so much more expensive and they would still try to separate my aunt and uncle when we wanted to keep them together.

Our first choice and best one
From the very first tour with Ashley, my mom felt at home at Vintage Golden Gate. We toured many other facilities and none of them had the same feeling. Most were depressing, unfriendly and/or inappropriate for her needs. It took a while to for my mom to actually move in, but once she finally did, she couldn't be happier. It is very expensive, but luckily my mom had purchased Long Term Care Insurance to help cover the cost. Every staff member has been kind and helpful. We are completely at ease with her care. She has already made many friends with the staff and residents.

Reasonable value for a lovely assisted living facility
Most staff are very friendly, with occasional lapses in service (too busy to help dress; slow, slow kitchen sometimes); coordination of offsite pharmacy and medicine technicians could be better; like in any health care setting, patient advocacy (usually a family member) is essential (especially during the initial period) to insuring that the care is appropriate, complete and timely. Supervisory staff & management are very responsive.

Confusing Layout but Beautiful Place
I thought it was very lovely but they layout would have been too confusing for my sister-in-law to deal with. It was a beautiful place and the people were really nice. The apartment wasn't as nice and the layout wasn't very self contained - not like the other Vintage location, Vintage Coventry.

I met with Ashley and toured the premises. I like that this facility has a few outdoor areas and liked the units. It is an attractive property and because it is set back off the street, very quiet. The location is good because it is in San Francisco, but the cost is not much lower than Coventry and there are typically annual increases that range from 3% to 6%.

Met with Al Oliveros, move-...
Met with Al Oliveros, move-in coordinator. Beautiful facility - bright, spacious. Cheery lobby with music. Friendly people. About 118 rooms, 130 people of whom 60% are independent and 40% are assisted living. Average age is 76. A NJ club. Several practicing Jews so shabbat dinners. Dog can visit. Facility is almost 12 years old. 3 meals, housekeeping weekly, launder sheets and personal laundry. No cable and no phone (need to pay extra). Assessment of mom's status probably on move in. Fixed hours for meals; tea room is open 24 hours. 3 courtyards. There are steps in some places, but alternative ways to get from one area to another without stairs. Big bathroom - but little step to enter shower - bolted shower bench. 1 BR $5510 pm, Studio on 1st floor is $5300. Can adjust heat in each room. $4,000 community fee. Rate disclosure shows increase from 1.2% to 4% to 3.5% over 2010-2012 and states monthly will typically increase between 4%-8%. Rooms have microwave, small refrigerator/freezer and sink. Closets in studio are not as spacious as in 1 BR. Goal is to get people out of rooms and into the activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Ivy at Golden Gate

The Ivy at Golden Gate offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Ivy at Golden Gate 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
