    Though many aspects of Cadence Millbrae receive praise, such as its beautiful dining area and various recreational options—including a gym, movie theater, and outdoor courtyards—there are some recurring concerns regarding room sizes.

    Despite some misgivings regarding certain operational aspects such as pricing discrepancies or unanswered questions during tours—which left some potential clients feeling a bit uneasy—the prevailing sentiment appears to be one of contentment when it comes to resident care. Multiple glowing testimonials point out how responsive the management has been regarding updates on new memory care expansions planned for future availability while expressing gratitude toward staff support systems established within this community.
