About Our Care Home

A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) serves seniors age 60 and older. It is also known as an assisted living facility or a “board and care”, if run in a residential home.

The level of care and supervision offered at RCFEs are for people who are unable to live by themselves ,but do not need 24-hour nursing care. They provide a room, meals, housekeeping, and assistance with the activities of daily living, like personal care. RCFEs are considered non-medical facilities and are not required to have medical staff on the premises.

They must meet the care and safety standards set by the State of California and are licensed and inspected by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD)

The Chalet Montara is located in the beautiful coastside community of Montara in the Peninsula. Residents have the advantage of being 10-20 mins away from fantastic restaurants and locales near the water, and 30 minutes away from the city of San Francisco.

We are also staffed more than most facilities of the same or comparable size. It allows us to ensure that proper and safe care are accorded to our residents. We are able to accommodate many complex and challenging conditions because we do have the necessary staffing to address those. This includes a full time facility nurse alongside an excellent network of home health agencies, and an independent psychologist to take care of the residents’ medical and mental health concerns. Staff turnover is very low ensuring the consistency and continuity of the bonds created with residents .

Following our mission of a holistic approach to senior care, we have planned activities five days a week; healthy, nutritious and tasty food prepared from scratch served daily, and events that are open to the community to foster engagement and community-building are held in the facility.

We are licensed for 24 residents. We have 22 very well-appointed bedrooms that is a mix of both private and shared rooms.
