Inspection Report Summary for The Magnolia of Millbrae
Magnolia of Millbrae (Facility Number 415600154) has repeatedly met California’s regulatory standards during a series of unannounced inspections conducted between October 2023 and March 2025. In each visit, the facility’s administrator, Lola Borrego, presented current certification, and the licensing program analyst noted that the resident population—primarily non‑ambulatory individuals aged 60 and older—was well within the licensed capacity of 180, with four hospice residents at each inspection. Physical plant audits confirmed that emergency drills, fire suppression systems, carbon‑monoxide detectors, and emergency pull cords were all functional and up to date, while the kitchen and dining areas were stocked with adequate food supplies and maintained in a clean, operational state.
Throughout the assessment cycle, Magnolia consistently demonstrated sound medication stewardship, with all pharmaceuticals and sharps stored in locked, climate‑controlled rooms inaccessible to residents. Staff training and record‑keeping were observed as current, and the facility’s safety protocols—including the use of grab bars, nonskid flooring, and individual apartment thermostats—were routinely inspected. Minor administrative requests surfaced, such as submission of updated liability insurance, revised emergency disaster plans, and confirmation of the administrator’s certification expiry, but no regulatory deficiencies were cited in any report.
The most recent inspection in March 2025 reiterated the facility’s substantial compliance status, noting resolved medication discrepancies from the April 2024 visit and affirming that all fire and life‑safety equipment carried recent inspection tags. Although the final case‑management visit dated March 11, 2025 is incomplete in the record, it appears to follow the same pattern of confirming continued compliance and prompting the submission of any outstanding documentation. Overall, Magnolia of Millbrae’s inspection history reflects a consistently safe, well‑managed environment that adheres to state licensing requirements and proactively addresses administrative updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.
