What this means for your family

The facility has a proven history of providing compassionate, respectful care and a comfortable environment for seniors. However, due to recent reports of management instability and poor family communication, you should specifically ask about current leadership stability and how they ensure families are kept informed of resident changes.

Key Review Excerpts

After 3 months spent in the hospital and rehabilitation I sadly had to place my 96 year old father in a nursing facility because of his severe mobility problems. I spent 2 long weeks calling facilities in Marin investigating care & prices. I chose Marin Terrace because of both.

Family of a resident with mobility issues · 2022★★★★★

The staff was wonderful and treated him with care and respect. Many of them have been there for many years so they work well together.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★★

Despite the efforts of caring and over-worked staff, the lack of management after the departure of Darnell Williams resulted in communications that, at best, were minimal, at worst borderline neglectful.
