Discovery Commons San Pablo (DCSP) and especially its Director Dana Harney go over and beyond to make our long-time friend feel cared for, valued and special! Dana and the team find an extra gear especially during those meaningful personal days collected over 97 years of life. We are so grateful to have a place like DCSP available at this stage with the unwavering quality of care seen with every visit to our dear friend and loved one! May your collective efforts be returned in continued blessings to you and your families!!!
