Merced Three Residential Care
Merced Three Residential Care operates a 33-bed community in San Francisco, California, providing both assisted living and nursing care options. Managed by administrator Lee Joyce under Hafco Elder Care, Inc., the facility has housed Bay Area seniors for over two decades. The surrounding urban neighborhood features a high walkability score, enabling visiting relatives to handle retail errands or access public transit stops entirely on foot.
The staff provides round-the-clock supervision and hands-on help with dressing, bathing, medication tracking, and routine healthcare coordination with outside physicians. Residents have access to physical activities like Tai Chi, indoor walking routines, and stationary bicycling, alongside social options including karaoke, movies, and group restaurant trips. The food service program focuses on nutritious, custom meals and snacks, while the floor staff handles daily linen rotations, laundry, and housekeeping chores.
The California Department of Social Services evaluates residential facilities through regular physical site inspections to monitor the environment and safety protocols. Public inspection logs show strong regulatory compliance records, with performance metrics trending better than the state average and minimal recorded resident complaints. You can ask to review their official inspection logs and recent safety reports with the supervisor during a physical tour.
