Overview of Pacific Care Home

Operated by J & I LLC, Pacific Care Home is a residential care community in the South San Mateo neighborhood of San Mateo, California. It offers assisted living and residential care in a single-story home. Rich Fatooh is the owner, and Rafael A. Jison serves as the administrator. The community is about 0.4 miles from San Mateo Medical Center, giving residents and visiting family convenient access to nearby hospital care. Pacific Care Home has been serving the local community for 24 years.

The home has 6 beds with both private and semi-private accommodations. It’s a small residential setting instead of a large senior living campus. All beds are currently occupied, reflecting full occupancy and steady local demand. Its smaller size may appeal to families looking for a quieter environment where residents and staff can build closer relationships.

Residents receive assistance with medication management, mobility and transfer support, bathing, dressing, housekeeping, and laundry services. Care and supervision are available around the clock. Transportation services, fitness opportunities, and social and recreational activities are also part of daily life, so residents can stay active and engaged.

The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 86, which is very walkable. Many daily essentials and errands can be reached on foot. The short distance to San Mateo Medical Center makes it convenient for residents and visiting family members.

State inspections have reviewed emergency preparedness planning, staff training related to resident positioning and support, and documentation of medical assessments. More recent inspections found that safety equipment, medications, and resident accommodations are in proper order. Families touring Pacific Care Home should ask how staff training and resident documentation are maintained over time.
