Ivy Park at Cathedral Hill

Overview of Ivy Park at Cathedral Hill

The exceptional Walk Score of 99 is a worth leading with. Ivy Park at Cathedral Hill sits on Sutter Street in San Francisco’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood, making it a walker’s paradise where daily errands don’t require a car and California Pacific Medical Center is four-tenths of a mile away. For a senior living community, that kind of urban density is a structural advantage.

The building is a mid-rise with 210 beds across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units ranging from 400 to 550 square feet. Oakmont Management Group operates the community; Chris Schuster is the administrator. At 8 years in operation, the facility currently runs at 82% occupancy with 172 beds filled. The care mandate covers assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof.

On-site services include licensed nurses and CNAs, 24-hour staffing, transportation, and fitness and recreation. Pets are welcome. The facility is California state-licensed as a Residential Care Elderly community, not CMS-certified; Medicare and Medicaid don’t apply here. State inspections have covered medication management and fall and injury prevention among other areas.

Ivy Park at Cathedral Hill is a large, multi-care-type community in one of San Francisco’s most walkable senior living corridors, suited to residents who want proximity to urban amenities and full-spectrum care options under private-pay terms.

Inspections & Visits State inspections evaluate whether the facility meets health and safety standards.	This Facility	CA Average	vs. CA Avg
Total inspections Combined count of official scheduled inspections, complaint visits and other regulatory visits. California counts each evaluation report, so one trip can count twice when it serves two purposes.	50	16	This facility has had 213% more total inspections than the California average (50 vs. CA avg 16).
