My mom has been a resident in the assisted living facility at Drake since October. She moved from Florida to San Rafael to be closer to me. Drake has far exceeded expectations! The staff is so friendly, and goes above and beyond to make sure the residents are taken care of! All of the residents are very friendly as well, and it is such a great community environment. It is clear and obvious why Drake has been rated one of the best when it comes to senior living facilities. I highly recommend them!

We have had the pleasure of working with Drake Terrace for many years now. They are consistently one of the best senior living communities in the North Bay. We want to give a special shout out to David Knepler who compassionately and professionally works with families as they transition their loved ones into Drake's Terrace. He understands the challenges families go through and is able to guide and coach them to ensure a smooth transition for all. He has been in the industry for quite some time and has resources to help create success for the families he works with. He is patient, kind and loves what he does!!!! We are grateful for his partnership, his integrity and focus on dignity for the incoming resident and family. Drake's Terrace is a great option and David is a true treasure to work with!!!

My sister has been at Drake Terrace for 16 months and has received excellent kind, loving and meaningful care. The ambiance is nice, the people are kind and caring and enjoyable. The activities are excellent both on site and excursions especially the one to the Ross Valley Players Barn Theater. The management and staff are on top of matters and responsive to ongoing and emergency situations. When my sister needs immediate help she gets it. The food is very good and it is easy to make friends.
