Our mother, Adele, has been a resident at Janet's Residential Care for over 10 years.
We initially chose Janet's in order to give our mother a home environment, and the warm and compassionate care that she has received over the years has certainly provided her with a "home." Although Alzheimer's had rendered our mother unable to care for herself alone, she was still quite physically active when she arrived at Janet's. Her abilities were encouraged and Janet and her staff got to know and appreciate her personality.
As the years went by, any issues concerning her health were handled with the utmost professionalism. Unfortunately, our mother recently suffered a stroke and required more care than previously. There was no question where she would go after leaving the hospital...home to Janet's."
"I looked at almost all the board and care homes in San Francisco in February 2009 for my father. Janet's Residential Facility was the nicest by far. It is in a wonderful neighborhood. The house is modern, large, spacious and very light and warm. The rooms are large and well-appointed. Janet, the owner, is an R.N. and very knowledgeable. Her staff is amazingly attentive and caring. Janet's facility was levels above the other facilities I inspected."
"Here are some of the reasons we selected your residential care facility:
 Upon talking with you and meeting you, we felt that you are very qualified, knowledgeable and caring.
The facility (home) environment is friendly; clean and allows for easy wheelchair access.
Helpful and friendly caregivers are on hand around the clock for residents needs (versus a really large facility where you feel lost).
A convenient location that is easy to get to with parking.
A positive experience recommendation through a friend who told us about a person who lived at this facility.
We would also like to thank you and your staff for helping to make a smooth transition for our family"
Janet truly is an Angel in every sense of the word. Be rest assured that putting your loved one in Janet's care gives you 100 percent peace of mind! I have entrusted Janet and her caregivers with my family members for close to 20 years. When you place a loved one in Janet's care they live well into their hundreds. All are family to Janet and the love she gives to each and every one of her residents is heart warming.
"Gwen has been a resident at Janet's Residential Facility for seven years. The staff has always been very caring and accommodating. One of the things I appreciate is that Janet takes the time to celebrate birthdays and special occasions, which I feel gives the residents something to look forward to and feel at home. It gives me comfort to know that Janet is on top of Gwen's needs such as doctor's appointments, medications, etc. It has given me peace of mind knowing that Gwen is a resident of this facility"
I hope you know how much you and your staff improved the quality of Columbus' life during his last 2 years of on earth
"Having to place a loved one into an assisted living facility is a difficult situation. There is a certain amount of guilt to this decision. I wanted to find a small facility where a person would not feel like a guest but a member of a new functional family. The owner/proprietor and her staff deeply care for each client with patience and kindness. They make sure each person is safe and secure. My loved one is well-taken care of and is happy in her new environment. I am without guilt and forever thankful for this outstanding facility"

"I am very happy to have Janet as both a friend and neighbor. I have known her for over ten years and when my husband could no longer live at home, I was lucky Janet had an opening in her Home for the Elderly. Fortunately, I was able to visit my husband every day and saw how kind and efficient her staff were in caring for the residents in Janet's home.
I am so thankful my husband was able to spend his last days in such a comfortable and loving environment."
"My mother [Henrietta Dong], who is Chinese and who has dementia, has been at Janet Spires' Residential Facility for the Elderly for over five years.
It was a blessing to find Janet's facility after visiting many establishments in San Mateo County and various parts of San Francisco. Janet Spires runs a safe, pleasant, and homey operation, good in all the best ways possible.
Janet Spires is an experienced and trustworthy caregiver, understands individual and family needs and concerns, and has integrity, ethics, and sound judgment. I unequivocally recommend her establishment for those families seeking the best of board and care homes."
Retired nurse Janet Spires, owner and manager of Janet's Residential Facility for the Elderly, takes care of her residents likes they were her children. When my mother's Alzheimer and fits of rage had progressed, I moved my mother to Janet's Facility. Janet administered her medication and had her staff bathe my mom. All the residents were always in view of the caretakers. Janet loved my mother and my mother trusted her.
When it becomes time to take care of your parents, consider placement at Janet's Residential Facility for the Elderly.
Janet is very caring and special. I will always what she did for my mother and me.
