Our new home
We have been residents of Cadence for over 2 months. We chose Cadence after looking at many similar senior living facilities because it felt like home. Even walking through the front door felt friendly and welcoming. The staff is amazing, very warm and welcoming. We had several tours, including with family and friends. All of our questions were answered and made us feel very comfortable from the beginning. Cadence creates a warm and inclusive ambiance with lots of activities, entertainment and things to do. We really enjoy the live music. The housekeeping services are great! The staff is awesome at overseeing both housekeeping and laundry services. The location is perfect.. a beautiful park for walks and downtown Millbrae is just 5 blocks away! We can walk to Trader Joe's, Wallgreens, the bank and post office. Plus lots of lovely cafés and restaurants. We are home!

My wife and I came here 4 years ago. Bari showed us a very nice apartment and was very helpful with the move in process. The apartment is very comfortable, with a great view and accommodates my electric wheelchair. The staff have great morale and are always helpful. You get to know everybody in the dining room and can make friends easily. And you can’t beat the weather! This has become home to me.

Cadence is a great place for assisted living. My Aunt was there and had a wonderful experience. The staff at Cadence are attentive and provide a warm engaging environment. The restaurant is excellent and provided good quality balanced meals with excellent variety on a daily basis. The facility is modern, clean, and large. Activities are ample and engaging. Some are Bingo, stretching, singing, and it changes weekly. I would consider Cadence for assisted living and memory care if you are looking for such a place.

Ultimately chose another community for our family's needs but wanted to share our positive experience with Cadence. In particular are two individuals we'd like to recognize. Aquiles was personable and knowledgeable conducting our tour and thoroughly engaging with residents and staff alike. Additionally, Bari came highly regarded by others in the industry. Though the situation that brought us here was unfortunate, her thougtfulness, bedside mannerisms and responsiveness to every inquiry at all hours helped ease our minds through the evaluation process. We wish them both the best.

When I first arrived, I had to adjust because I wasn’t familiar with Cadence. What stood out to me immediately though, was the kindness and warmth of the employees and staff. A special mention goes to Afi at the Concierge Desk, she has been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and supportive - more like a friend than just a staff member. I would really like to extend my sincere thanks to Bari, who coordinated my move and made the entire process seamless. Since I needed to move in on short notice she even arranged furniture for me until my own furniture arrived. She is always cordial and thoughtful and she went out of her way to accommodate me and my family. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful, and they always greet me with a smile. I feel very comfortable here now, and it truly feels like home.

(name removed) provided a descriptive explanation of the facility. She answered all my concerns and questions about assisted living at Cadence. The facility is very inviting and the staff is very friendly. The rooms are sufficient and seem to be comfortable.

My daughter toured this facility for me as I am currently in North Carolina. She said it was very nice as was the staff. She said it appears to be an assisted living facility which is not what I'm looking for. Also, the cost was about 3X more than what I told "A Place for Mom" that I can afford.

As a Notary Public/Document Signing Agent, I was meeting a client resident here. The Front Desk Staff, Afi was wonderful! She had a beautiful smile, very kind, and directed me to my client. The self-service Sign-In process was quick and convenient. The lobby area was comfortable and accommodated the signing of documents with my client, who was such a treat to meet!! My time there was pleasurable!

Our families experience
I think Cadence has been a healthy clean environment that has disappointed me occasionally when they failed to show up in time for my dad. The food is bland and while it looks good on the menu and the plate it is usually tasteless and too institutional. My dad never participated in any activities so didn't rate that. Like all these assisted living places for profit it is DRASTICALLY overpriced while underpaying their everyday staff.

Cadence at Millbrae truly feels like home. The staff are very welcoming and friendly—you feel it the moment you walk in. There are always fun and engaging activities that keep residents active, social, and happy. A special shoutout to Angie, the Resident Lifestyle Director, who is incredibly warm, welcoming, and passionate about what she does. You can really feel how much she cares about the residents and the community. The bistro is great, and the dining room offers a wide variety of delicious food options, something for everyone and always well-prepared. The piano lounge adds a relaxing and elegant touch, and there’s also a theater and a mini gym, making everything so convenient. Honestly, what else can I ask for? Everything you need is right here in Cadence Millbrae. Plus, being a pet-friendly community is a must and a huge bonus. Highly recommended!

Review for Cadence Millbrae by Cogir
Everything has been excellent, and the marketer took great care of us during the admission process. The staff is extremely attentive, the building is always clean, we love the room for my nana- it's spacious. She enjoys the meals and going for walks to church.

We had lunch at Cadence Millbrae, and it was delicious. The staff showed us a lovely room, really nice, but it wasn't a one-bedroom. It was a two-bedroom facing the park, and it was really lovely. It's one of the nicest ones I've ever seen. They were accommodating, too.

I toured Cadence Millbrae. It was great. I saw the whole facility. It was nice. The rooms were pretty, and the people and the staff were nice. It had a bed, dressers, and a bathroom. It looked like a home instead of a hospital. It had fake flowers that made it look pretty. I did not evaluate the kitchen that much. I was more concerned with the bed and what kind of bed it was, because my uncle needed an adjustable bed to adjust his head and feet, and they had that, and that's what I liked. Everything was very clean, and there was no dust.
