I love Golden Care but having issue with A Place for Mom. Golden Care is great and I'm pleased, but I went on my own to the facility, not through A Place for Mom.

San Bruno Care Home

4.7
The gentleman I helped was there for two days before he passed away so I thought it was strange to have to pay for a whole month when he was only there for like 48 hours. I was not impressed with that. They were polite and seemed caring so that's why we chose it - there were nice people there.
