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.
