Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

My dad has been living at Bel marin gardens since 11/2022, it is now 2/24. My dad who turned 99 in December is happy, healthy and well cared for. Because he is not as disabled as the other residents I'm able to take him out when weather is good and out to lunch. The people here run a cozy and clean home. Someone is always cooking and they are very gentle and compassionate with the care the…

The Bel Marin Gardens facility is located in a beautiful physical environment with true “home like”…

My husband & i wish we would have met Laarni when my father in-law was…
