Drake Terrace

From $7,500/mo

275 Los Ranchitos Road, San Rafael, CA, 94903
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"I have been a resident at Drake Terrace for several years now and I love living here. The management team is wonderful to work with and they all seem to have been here for a long time, which says a lot in this industry. We have made many new friends and feel very much a part of this community because of the fantastic activities director who works so hard to give us something fun to look forward to every day. My only complaint is that the food could be better, but given that they are serving so many people at once, it's a minor concern. Overall I am very happy here and would recommend Drake to anyone looking for a new home." - Juanita…

"I've lived at ALMAV, San Rafael for the past three years and have been extremely pleased with this home away from home. The administrative staff with its supportive group of assistants, leaves very little to be desired. Maintenance, activities, health care, spiritual and culinary perform far more than expected. As a resident in independent living, I can vouch from experience that there is very little, if anything, that's not professionally addressed. As with any living condition, everything is not always perfect, but I'm "One Happy Camper" living here at ALMAV. ." - Rudy…
