Kimochi Home Residential & Respite Care

(License #380504099)

Kimochi Home’s residential program houses up to 19 ambulatory seniors in either single or shared rooms. Residents are under 24-hour supervised, non-medical care. Staff provides assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) such as bathing, dressing, and taking medications.

Kimochi Home is currently accepting applicants for residential stay in our San Francisco facility. For more information, please call Linda Ishii at (415) 922-9972.

Visits must be scheduled in advance. All visitors are asked to screen for Covid-19 signs, symptoms and exposures prior to their visit as recommended by California Department of Public Health. Outdoor and virtual visits continue to be offered as safer alternatives. Kimochi continues to require that visitors to Kimochi Home and Kimochi San Mateo wear face masks while in our buildings.

“Kimochi is the most vocal and effective advocate for our elders and we need their voice.”
— Rhonda Hirata, Former Kimochi Board Director & Legacy Society Member

The respite care program is temporary, short term, 24-hour supervised care for seniors. This service is available for families in need of backup care for an elderly member, especially during periods of caregiver burnout and stress, or during family vacations where a senior is unable to travel. The program is also an option for seniors who are being discharged from the hospital or who have recently been ill and need a temporary place to stay until they feel healthy enough to return home. Both programs feature the following services:

  • 24 hours supervision in a secured building

  • Three nutritious Japanese style meals

  • Social and recreational activities

  • Transportation and escorts to medical appointments

  • Monitoring of general health and development of appropriate care plans

  • Housekeeping services including laundry

  • Regular assessment to monitor care level

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

  1. Individual must be 60 years of age or older

  3. Able to get along with others in a group setting

  4. Able to cooperate with staff

  5. Successfully complete the program application & assessment process
