This is where I'd like to one day live TOO!
This is the most beautiful campus we've toured and the ED was so welcoming and kind. We really loved the outdoor spaces and the two rooms we looked at are so beautiful! Happy to know mom will be able to continue her art making here. She's going to love painting the landscapes and views from the rooftop patio- look forward to moving in!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill

The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill 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.
