Love the staff and the way they take care of everyone. It is a great place.
Laura Link
Mom was at another assisted living. She didn’t receive as much attention there because it was larger. She now feels safe because it is a smaller environment and she gets more individualized attention. And, she loves the food!

We often get questions regarding the difference between assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes. While all of these facilities are extremely important and helpful, there are differences. As a memory care facility, we at San Gabriel specialize in aiding those with dementia and Alzheimer's through their daily routine. We provide personalized attention, specialized activities, and one-on-one time with each resident! 🤍
