Do Not Recommend
I have a family member currently living at The Bluffs. They have extremely high employee turnover and are dangerously understaffed. I have confirmed multiple days per week having only 2 to 3 caregivers for 35 plus residents. My family member has waited over an hour for a response to her emergency call button. If there is a large scale emergency, it could be catastrophic. I have raised serious concerns to management multiple times with no resolution and, even more concerning, no response.

I thought the facility was above and beyond what it needed to be - a little expensive- but certainly worth it- I'd recommend them- it is a great place for your loved ones.

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:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill

A Place for Mom has scored The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill 6.8 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.
