The Broadmoor

The Broadmoor was a very good place. We were met by a gentleman who runs the office and he gave us a little talk about it. Then he took us around and showed us the garden area and patio area. It's a very busy area of town. There were streets on both sides of the building. It's rather busy but it's a good location for transportation and getting around San Francisco. The rooms were very nice. There were two different types, a studio and then a one-bedroom apartment. The lobby area was very spacious and nice. They were very clean and very friendly. The only thing was the rooms weren't quite as big.

I went to The Broadmoor on Tuesday, the independent living place downtown at 1499 Sutter. The people were very nice. I finally got a hold of someone to make sure I could go in so I went down and went in. The property is older. It reminded me of my first apartment down in downtown San Francisco. They were nice though. They gave me soup and a sandwich for lunch. The property is older. The public area, the lobby, and the dining room area were pretty nice. The rooms are older and a little darker due to how the lighting is. They're spacious, but they're old. If you get a room with a good window then that might get some sunlight but the rooms looked a little depressing.

I checked out The Broadmoor. I have a friend that lived there for a couple of years. You get three meals a day. They've got two different size studios, one is very small, and one is good size for one person. The staff is very supportive of the people there, and they do daily cleaning. It's got a very large patio in the back, and that's the only good part. It's in a good part of town, and there's some hills you have to navigate. It does not have all the bells and whistles that a person of higher income would want, but for a basic senior living, it's adequate, and they take care of you. I did eat lunch there, and it was OK. I saw a common area, and it was clean.

The Broadmoor used to be a hotel. It was very nice. It's in San Francisco, and it's within my means, but the rooms that were available were really tiny. The carpeting and the things in there were very old. I saw a bunch of seniors watching TV in a room, but they were only offered popcorn.

The Broadmoor was an old hotel which they turned into independent living, and they don't have other resources available if you get sick. It's beautiful and very well-kept. The staff was nice, and they had a little room where they showed movies. They also had trips, but they didn't have a lot of transportation available to them. It was a beautiful site with pathways and little sitting areas. You can choose a meal plan. It felt comfortable and good for people who don't want to live in their home anymore, and need a little help, but not to the point that they need care.

I visited The Broadmoor. I liked the location near my house, but the facility looked a little dated. The manager was very friendly, but later, there were some miscommunications. He said, basically, my mother could move in as soon as the next day, so when I contacted the manager to confirm when my mother was on her way in, he said, “No, no, no. We cannot do it today. We are not ready.” So, that was actually the end of it. We’re not going back to them and stay there. He showed me a couple of different types of rooms with windows but no view; just a view of the wall, which was not desirable. They served three meals a day.
