Why we like it

The Peninsula Regent is a 435-bed continuing care retirement community in San Mateo, one of the largest senior living campuses on the San Francisco Peninsula. As a CCRC, it offers a continuum of care from independent living through assisted living, allowing residents to age in place as their needs evolve.

The community serves the affluent Peninsula corridor between San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

  • Full continuum of care

    As a CCRC, The Peninsula Regent allows residents to transition between levels of care without leaving their community — a major advantage for long-term planning.

  • Major Peninsula campus

    At 435 beds, the community has the scale to offer extensive amenities, diverse programming, multiple dining options, and deep staffing coverage.

  • Prime SF Peninsula location

    San Mateo sits in the heart of the Peninsula with excellent access to Stanford Medical Center, UCSF, SFO, and Caltrain — ideal for families spread across the Bay Area.

  • Large campus experience

    A 435-bed community may feel more institutional than intimate. Residents who prefer a smaller, home-like environment should visit to see if the scale feels comfortable.

  • CCRC fee structure

    CCRCs often involve entrance fees in addition to monthly charges. Families should request a full breakdown of the buy-in structure and what it covers long-term.
