  I toured the San Francisco Towers. The facility is beautiful and meticulously maintained. Everything about it is lovely, thought about, and polished. It is highly secure, which is very important. The apartments are good size. The small ones are well sized and they have a range of apartments. The staff was very professional, very knowledgeable, and very gracious about everything. The dining area is lovely. I did not sample the food. They have exercise classes. They have movies and performances and clubs. There are all sorts of things to do and you're right in the middle of the city. So there is a bus line and streetcar line right outside the front door. That's one thing that draws me to it. It's so close to the Performing Arts Center of San Francisco.

  San Francisco Towers is very elegant. It's an urban setting. They have an indoor pool and available parking. It's very nicely done and very nicely maintained. However, it was much more old school. You can add assistance as you need it in time, but they have a large financial buy-in and their policy is that you have to be independent initially to get in. The person who toured us was very pleasant though.

  I visited San Francisco Towers, they have extremely good amenities for this field and I can say that they're at the top of the market. I was shown an apartment and a smaller room, and they're bigger than the rooms in other places I've seen. My friend in this community has a 2-bedroom apartment, it's large, and has 2-bethrooms. She's spending a large amount of money for that and she bought in. The smaller ones are also still expensive for me. They have a lot of things for the residents to do, they have people come in and give lectures, and they take people regularly to the symphony, opera, and ballet. They also have groups within the community that do things on their own, so I would say that it's the best. I've had a meal there and the food is excellent.

  I visited friends at San Francisco Towers. I liked it, but the reason I didn’t choose them is that I didn’t think they had any openings and it was a bit expensive. It was an excellent, lovely facility. The staff seemed very nice. The rooms were nice. I have friends who live there who are very happy.

  We did visit San Francisco Towers. We were shown around, and this is one of the two places that we like very much. We had lunch there with the people who live there, and the food was very healthy. We were impressed because it seemed very friendly, and the residents talked to us. The apartments were very nice and very adaptable to what we like. All in all, it was a very welcoming place. It is downtown, so it is close to the opera which we like. It is also close to plays and theaters. They offer lots of activities like walking or reading groups -- just everything that you could imagine.

  I saw some rooms at San Francisco Towers. It looked like someone had moved out, and they were getting ready to sell it so they had it all redone for that. What we found is that the age difference was quite a bit different from what we were looking for so I think that that probably had a big impact on our decision to wait. I would say that the average age at the Towers was probably 85. Everything was wonderful. It could not have been any better.

  I truly liked this care facility. The staff there was very professional and took great care of my great grandmother, but they also gave her time and space to herself. While we were there, she needed some assistance (I can't remember exactly what she needed them to help her with, but it was non-urgent.) She made a quick call and about 5 minutes later, the staff had responded, even though they knew it was a non emergency issue. The facilities are very nice, if slightly outdated when we were there. San Francisco in general has a slightly outdated feel to a lot of the buildings, so this is nothing out of the ordinary for the area, but it just struck me a little bit. The facility is also located near transportation and plenty of shops and stores to get everything that one needs nearby. My great grandmother had a modest one bedroom, but it had a nice cozy feel, and she was quite happy there.

  The San Francisco Towers assisted living facility was recommended by a friend in the region as an option for our aunt. The outside area resembled that of a high-end, well maintained condo building. The interior design was lovely with gorgeous views throughout. There was bright light everywhere. Because the weather is so mild there, the residents may enjoy walks along the beach and spend time outdoors on a near year round basis. From sight seeing to nature walks and cultural events, San Francisco has it all. The staff appeared to accommodate all levels of ambulation. The staff often takes residents on many outings into San Francisco's vibrant community to enjoy all that it has to offer. The residents enjoy yoga and aerobics classes, sometimes held outdoors. Seniors are encouraged to enjoy physical activity as much as possible. The dining areas offered the kind of spectacular food that you would find in a five star restaurant. The elegant Sunday brunch looked like a fantastic option. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus included food options for all kinds of diets. Residents may eat in the dining room or cook for themselves. Private units featured beautifully decorated surroundings, many with stunning views of the gorgeous skyline. All had a great deal of natural light and fresh air, through very large windows - many of which had individual terraces and balconies. Each unit had either a full kitchen or kitchenette. The residents may enjoy all that San Francisco has to offer, from opera, museums and theater to fine dining. The seniors appeared content here, with just the amount of care and attention they needed.
