Cadence Millbrae

Cadence is a great place for assisted living. My Aunt was there and had a wonderful experience. The staff at Cadence are attentive and provide a warm engaging environment. The restaurant is excellent and provided good quality balanced meals with excellent variety on a daily basis. The facility is modern, clean, and large. Activities are ample and engaging. Some are Bingo, stretching, singing, and it changes weekly. I would consider Cadence for assisted living and memory care if you are looking for such a place.

Ultimately chose another community for our family's needs but wanted to share our positive experience with Cadence. In particular are two individuals we'd like to recognize. Aquiles was personable and knowledgeable conducting our tour and thoroughly engaging with residents and staff alike. Additionally, Bari came highly regarded by others in the industry. Though the situation that brought us here was unfortunate, her thougtfulness, bedside mannerisms and responsiveness to every inquiry at all hours helped ease our minds through the evaluation process. We wish them both the best.

When I first arrived, I had to adjust because I wasn’t familiar with Cadence. What stood out to me immediately though, was the kindness and warmth of the employees and staff. A special mention goes to Afi at the Concierge Desk, she has been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and supportive - more like a friend than just a staff member. I would really like to extend my sincere thanks to Bari, who coordinated my move and made the entire process seamless. Since I needed to move in on short notice she even arranged furniture for me until my own furniture arrived. She is always cordial and thoughtful and she went out of her way to accommodate me and my family. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful, and they always greet me with a smile. I feel very comfortable here now, and it truly feels like home.

UPDATED REVIEW: June 2026. I can now fully recommend Cadence at Millbrae. My Mom is happy here, has friends, and the staff looks out for her & is super-kind to her. I credit the new(ish) Executive Director, Holly, and her team, and the Community Advocacy Group with making some real, positive changes to Cadence. The team is well-trained and caring. A big shout-out to Afi, Aquiles, Rhonda, Harpreet, Angie, Bari, and many others who work at Cadence Millbrae. FIRST REVIEW: Summer 2022. 4 out of 5 stars. Bari has been an accessible, friendly, knowledgeable resource and advocate for our Mom in her first 9 months at Cadence Millbrae. Bari met with our Mom at least 3 times over the course of the two months we spent researching and visiting independent living communities. She was available to talk with each of us when we had questions. It’s an enormous change to move a parent into a completely different living situation and Bari gave us some helpful ideas about how to make the transition work for our Mom. In addition, Bari became an important advocate when we encountered hiccups in our first month at Cadence. She is committed to helping where she can. Other key staff who provide excellent support for residents include Lorena (housekeeping lead), Denise, Alicia, and Marissa.

0/5 Overall Satisfaction 0/5 Friendliness I Would NOT ever recommend to anyone I care for. Rhoda Takabusu(not sure of last name)should Not be socializing w/ residents and/or guests whatsoever. I can't imagine her "cadence" in rhythm with your company's mission statement. This individual clearly lacks rudimentary people skills. She is a detriment to your brand and a liability to your company.
