Key Review Excerpts

The Trousdale in Burlingame has many wonderful team members, but one front desk staff member who truly stands for Hina. From the moment she answers the phone, her friendly and upbeat tone immediately sets a positive experience.

Prospective resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The place is beautiful, but more than that, the people are what make it special. The staff was so kind and truly seemed to care, and the residents were just the sweetest.

Community volunteer · 2025★★★★★

Our mother lived alone and was very reluctant to move into any assisted living facility. Trousdale was the only one that she would even considered, and it was still difficult to convince her that she would be better off there for both physical safety and the social environment.
