Reviews of The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill
September 2024
September 2024
I have a dear friend who is now residing and The Bluffs Hamilton. He is very happy there and making friends. The Bluffs is in a beautiful location. The staff is friendly and helpful. Not only do I have a friend there, but I also collaborate with The Bluffs on educational events for our older adults in the community. I highly recommend The Bluffs Hamilton if you are looking for an assisted living home for yourself or a loved one.
September 2024
Jason and Jeanette was great in accommodating and showing us the place. They answered all our questions and inquiries about the services offered. The staff are trained and friendly, the place was pristine and clean. Thank you for the great tour.
September 2024
We highly recommend The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill. My parents recently moved in and are extremely happy with their positive experiences. The facility is extremely clean and orderly. We want to give the praise to the attentive staff and especially to coordinator Jeanette who made this transition seamless. The Bluffs was our first choice.
August 2024
My mom moved to The Bluffs (1st floor) in February 2024 thanks to Jason Rolle who was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and so welcoming ~ and continues to be. I also can't praise the caregivers and med techs on the first floor enough as well as Ruthanne. They face immense challenges but each and every one of them have an unwavering spirit and their dedication goes beyond the call of duty. They are truly angles on Earth, providing comfort, support and love. I am so grateful to have my mom in the care of this compassionate team. We are so fortunate to be in this community. "They may forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel". Thank you so very much.

elegant gracious living and a very attentive staff
August 2024
I'm at this Senior Center and Memory Care facility 5 days x week helping one of my clients who is a resident at the bluffs since over a year ago. Because of this, I have the opportunity to connect with staff members and Memory Care Program Director Ruthanne. I must to say everyone there goes above and beyond when coming to residents needs. Staff and director are so caring and loving to residents treating them with so much love and compassion. I highly recommend the Bluffs as the most caring and safe place for your love ones since they will be treated with love and respect as well as compassion. Thank you Bluffs.
August 2024
What a joy and a relief it was to find the BLUFFS! We had searched the entire Bay Area and even placed our relative elsewhere unsuccessfully. The difference was the staff and the beautiful historic setting. Their inclusive programs were tailored and exactly what our family needed.
August 2024
My parents recently moved into The Bluffs, they chose The Bluffs because they were more comfortable with a smaller resident population. The caregivers are excellent, my parents feel welcomed and connected. I feel confident if there is a need i can call and they will get the assistance they need and they love the exercise classes especially Tai Chi and chair exercises.
August 2024
This is a fantastic place to live. The exterior is magnificent and the interior is so beautifully decorated. It's a pleasure just to walk the halls and the view from our apartment is spectacular. The staff and caregivers are amazing and they are such nice people. I wish we had moved here much sooner, but we weren't ready to go into assisted-living, but we feel really lucky to be here.
July 2024
I moved my parents in with very little notice. It was chaotic and a bit messy. The staff came through and really helped us get settled. It took very little time for them to get adjusted and they are not just living, but living well. The company of others for meals has given them a social outlet that they haven't had for years. Thank you Bluffs. I highly recommend this place.
July 2024
The Bluffs at Hamilton is one of my favorite communities in Marin County. Nestled in a very peaceful and beautiful location away from the hustle-bustle, the grounds are absolutely stunning and offer great walking trails. The management team is incredible, going above and beyond for their clients. Great memory care unit, I have watched people transform and find new meaning and fulfillment in their lives when they move there and make it their forever home. A place where people truly can age gracefully in place knowing their needs and lifestyle preferences are taken care of. 10/10 would recommend
June 2024
Jeanette is a truly excellent representative of The Bluffs. She's knowledgeable about all the various services The Bluffs affords its residents and gives prospective residents excellent insight into what it's like to reside there. But she doesn't stop there. My parents now reside at The Bluffs and, far from becoming a stranger after they were installed as residents, she's made herself completely available at anytime to facilitate and eliminate the inevitable issues that have come up during such an important transition. I have been so grateful to be able to access her deep experience and extensive skill sets and would not have been able to help my parents so completely without her assistance. Her professionalism, follow-through and friendly manner make her unique among the Assisted Living community of administrators.
May 2024
We've had our dad at Hamilton Hill since November in the memory care part of the home. Ruthanne is the director since the new year and she is incredible. It needed some serious changes in care and she swooped in and started fixing everything right away. There's a lighter spirit to the staff now and we are very happy now that Ruthanne is there. They currently have an interim director so before you sign on I would make sure to meet the director, know their plans, and ensure Ruthanne is still there. She cares deeply and is the heart of the memory care area. It's all about the staff, don't be wooed by the beautiful new facility (it is lovely).
March 2024
We visited for a tour without an appointment. Mainly out of curiosity , ( I am a retired geriatric nurse) although I will be 80 next month. It is a lovely well appointed facility. We saw an activity that was well attended and appeared to be well received by residents. Appetizers/ snacks appeared well made and presented. Our host was upbeat and informative(manager of sales ) he was well acquainted with the residents passing by and other staff. If you or a family member have memory care needs or need an assist with self care or just need a safety net. I suggest you take a look at the Bluffs at Hamilton. The surrounding hills and water are beautiful.
February 2024

The Bluffs is such a beautiful property with so many amenities. Jeanette and team are wonderful people to work with too!
February 2024
We have had the most incredible experience as we have researched many places and decided to get our sister/mother into this facility. We were very fortunate to work with Jeanette from The Bluffs who was wonderful to make this a positive experience even though this time in life is never easy for anyone. We are so looking forward to having her in this facility. Thank you for making this a positive experience for the entire family. We would so very much recommend it to anyone interested!!

The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill just sponsored a Novato Chamber of Commerce lunch meeting, and I was impressed with the quality and diversity of the food served. This is a beautiful location with a nice park at the bottom of the hill to visit. Professionally staffed with a clean and happy environment.
January 2024
I have visited this location on several occasions and have also toured the facility. The sales team are very helpful and friendly. The food was very tasty! Nice location in Novato!
December 2023
We are so grateful for Jeanette and the entire staff at The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill. They went above and beyond to make our loved one feel welcome and help her settle into her new home. After years of being homebound and getting increasingly unhappy, she actually began to smile again shortly after moving into The Bluffs. She thrived on the care, food, activities and friendships she experienced. Our only regret is that she didn't move there sooner.
December 2023
The Bluffs is a beautiful, special place full of kindness and caring people.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work here at Elegance Hamilton Hill, a community I helped open nearly two years ago. The growth I've seen in the residents and staff everyday is heartwarming. New residents are welcomed with open arms and make friends right away, the care staff are compassionate and talented. Programs are always evolving and engaging. It's been a privilege to see this wonderful community come to life.

July 2022
My mom has Alzheimer's and is at the Memory Care center at Elegance Hamilton Hill. The staff at Hamilton Hill have been so caring from helping my mom transition to her new living situation to the daily care and opportunities for engagement that they provide for her and the other residents. They also have been so thoughtful and helpful to us, as her family, as we prepared for and navigated this big transition. The facilities have been thoughtfully designed and are beautiful. The outside areas are also so nicely done, peaceful, and quiet. Great places to relax and visit with loved ones inside and out.
April 2022
Beautiful community tucked into the quiet Hamilton Hill area! The staff were very friendly and you could tell they were genuine about caring for their residents! The staff knew every resident!

Working with Elegance of Hamilton Hill has been nothing but enjoyable. As soon as you walk in you're greeted with wonderful customer service along with the view of their gorgeous establishment. Away from the aesthetics, their level of care provided to their residents is exemplary. Veronica Gonzales & Nathan Howland have laid the foundation for years of growth & elevated care. Warmly
October 2020
So happy to have Elegance at Novato and their team to join our local community! What a fantastic place for our aging adult community to be safe and well cared for! Thank you for the service you have provided and we look forward to sharing your establishment and presence with others. Best to you all!

This well-known Spanish revival-style building was once the home of the historic Hamilton hospital at the former Hamilton U.S. Airforce Base. This beautiful building has been masterfully repurposed and renovated into an 80-unit senior assisted living center with 40 rooms designated for luxury Assisted Living and 40 additional rooms for Memory Care residents. Built with their affiliated development partner, Elegance Living, and working closely with the Novato City Council, this thoroughly modernized senior living community has preserved the architectural integrity of the entire front facade that epitomizes the buildings landmark Spanish Mediterranean architecture. Theyve also expanded the central courtyard to allow for sunlight, landscaping and space for a variety of outdoor activities. Elegance at Novato has been designed to provide a wonderful home environment for older adults who are still fairly active and independent but may require assistance with some of the activities of daily living. The community also features a separate wing and services for those adults suffering from some form of memory impairment or dementia. This amazing new housing option is something Novato has desperately needed and is now a chance for people to stay in the area they love. I am so proud of this project and it gives me great joy to see it realized. My Moms dying wish 11 years ago was to see that seniors had options to live in Novato - now 11 years later it has happened. I know it will mean everything to her to see that seniors have that opportunity today. I am proud to say I was Mayor the year this came to fruition. Denise Athas, Mayor of the City of Novato

This is a beautiful new property in a lovely location! So historic! But the interior is gorgeous and I know the company is creating innovative care methods and programming. This is definitely a community a family should check out!
