Pricing

Peninsula Reflections offers competitive pricing for its residential options, particularly when compared to the broader market in San Mateo County and across California. For private rooms, residents can expect a monthly fee of $2,800, which is significantly lower than the county's average of $4,281 and California's statewide average of $3,939. However, the semi-private accommodations at Peninsula Reflections are priced at $7,210 per month, exceeding both the county's rate of $3,830 and California's average of $3,333. In contrast, studio units command a premium price of $9,040 per month - again higher than both San Mateo County's figure of $5,178 and the state's average at $4,145. Overall, while Peninsula Reflections provides an attractive option for private residences due to its affordability, it may be less competitive for semi-private and studio offerings when benchmarked against regional norms.

    Review

    Peninsula Reflections, a memory care center, has received mixed reviews from visitors and residents' family members. While some individuals were impressed with the facility and praised the executive director, others had concerns about security and communication.

    One visitor who spoke with the executive director multiple times was initially impressed by Peninsula Reflections. However, their biggest concern was the security of their sister, who was prone to wandering. As they were leaving the facility, they noticed a stick holding the front door open. This sight made them question the overall security of the place and ultimately led them to choose another community instead.

    On the other hand, another reviewer had a very positive experience with Peninsula Reflections' staff. They mentioned that every member of the staff took the time to get to know their father and respected his wishes while providing excellent care. Although it may not have been the most luxurious memory care center they visited, they felt that their father was safe at all times and appreciated the efforts made by staff members to cater to his needs.

    A long-time friend of a resident admitted in January 2020 shared their initial reluctance to place their loved one in a community they were unfamiliar with. However, upon visiting Peninsula Reflections, they experienced a positive atmosphere and well-ventilated building surrounded by beautiful gardens. They also appreciated that there were three shifts ensuring safety throughout the night and that activities were tailored based on each resident's remaining skills.

    Another individual who chose Peninsula Reflections highlighted several positive aspects of their experience. They found the place nice and felt welcomed by friendly and knowledgeable staff members. The variety of activities available, such as karaoke and visits from singers, seemed to entertain residents. Additionally, they appreciated how cooperative and helpful staff members were when approached for assistance.

    However, not all experiences at Peninsula Reflections were entirely positive. One individual mentioned that their husband did not stay long at the facility due to being sent to the emergency room twice. They suggested that better communication between the facility and residents' families could be improved.

    Overall, Peninsula Reflections seemed to strike a balance for some reviewers. While it may not have been the fanciest or most institution-like community, it appeared to offer a more personable approach to memory care. However, there were also concerns raised regarding security, communication, and billing clarity.
