The Terraces at Los Altos

Los Altos, CA 94022

250 beds • Est. 1967 (59 years)


FYI Safety Score

8.7 Good

3 state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 10 inspections. The most serious finding came in September 2025 when a staff member administered 1 resident's medications to a different resident; poison control was contacted and the affected resident remained stable. That incident produced 1 serious citation for the medication error and 1 minor citation for failing to file a written report with the state within 7 days. A third minor citation, issued following the June 2024 annual inspection, covered medication record documentation errors including missing entries, incorrect prescription numbers, and wrong expiration dates across multiple residents' records. Separately, a February 2025 investigation examined a suspected elder abuse allegation involving a staff member; a follow-up visit in December 2025 confirmed that staff member is no longer employed at the facility. The 7 remaining inspections, spanning 2021 through 2025, found no deficiencies.


Why we like it

The Terraces at Los Altos is a 250-bed non-profit Life Plan Community in a quiet residential neighborhood just one mile from charming downtown Los Altos, operated by HumanGood. Licensed for over 59 years, the low-rise Craftsman-style campus features 7 acres of landscaped gardens, a heated outdoor pool, native plant garden, and walking paths.

The community offers independent living apartments and cottage homes, assisted living, memory support through the proprietary Immerse program, and skilled nursing — a full continuum designed for aging in place.

  • Strong safety record

    The FYI Safety Score is 9.3 out of 10, reflecting decades of well-maintained safety standards — among the highest scores for communities of this size.

  • Nearly 60 years of non-profit operation

    One of the longest-operating senior communities in the South Bay. HumanGood's non-profit structure means all surplus goes back into resident care, programs, and campus improvements.

  • Walkable to downtown Los Altos

    Just one mile from downtown Los Altos with its boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants. The quiet, tree-lined neighborhood streets are perfect for daily walks.

  • Immerse memory support program

    HumanGood's proprietary Immerse program focuses on preserving dignity and autonomy through person-centered dementia care with specially trained staff and healthy circadian lighting.

  • Large community scale

    With 250 beds, this is a sizable campus. Some residents describe a smaller-community feel due to the low-rise Craftsman design, but families who prefer a truly intimate setting should visit to gauge the atmosphere.
