Health Care

Wouldn't you prefer to control your own destiny if you have a health problem?

Freedom of choice and flexibility are hallmarks of health care at The Hamilton.

This is not usually the case at most Continuing Care Retirement Communities whose management reserves the right to make many decisions that were once yours.

Palo Alto is fortunate in having a large number of well-trained practicing physicians, including generalists as well as specialists. It is also the site of two well-recognized medical facilities, the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and the Stanford University Medical Center, both located only a short distance from The Hamilton. Experience has shown that most residents have established relationships with physicians, which they wish to continue, but may understandably be concerned about availability of appropriate facilities for a convalescence or long-term care.

In that regard, a special attraction of The Hamilton is that each unit has in effect an additional bedroom and bath so that residents can, if needed, utilize nursing aides or other attendants and thus be cared for in their own condominium. Room service, with the same menu as in the dining room, is available. The desirability of this arrangement, is apparent, and already has been well substantiated at The Hamilton. Just ask some of our residents.
