Overview of Coterie Cathedral Hill

Cathedral Hill, a neighborhood of San Francisco, CA, has Coterie Cathedral Hill, which offers independent living, memory care, assisted living, and respite care. Community services come with independent living, but daily care doesn’t. Assisted living layers on staff help, covering dressing, bathing, and medication along with other tasks through the day.

For a dementia-related wandering risk, memory care supervises residents in a secured space. Respite covers a family caregiver’s travel or recovery with a short-term stay. Because the levels share one community, growing needs don’t force a move elsewhere.

At 260 beds, Coterie is a large-scale community, the kind of place where residents, staff, and programs all come in greater numbers than at a small home. Units run from studio to one-bedroom to two-bedroom, the largest suiting two people sharing. Pricing starts at $9,600 a month.

Van Ness Opco Tenant LLC and Atria Management Company operate the community, and Matthew Turner is its administrator. Coterie’s Walk Score comes to 99 of 100, a walker’s paradise where daily errands happen without a car. Transportation services run as well.

Exercise, music, and films are covered by the fitness center, the piano, and the movie theater. Pets can live there too.
