Kokoro Assisted Living in Japantown, San Francisco, receives mixed reviews. Many appreciate its unique focus on Japanese culture, offering Japanese meals and activities, and its location near Japantown. The facility is praised for its caring staff, many of whom speak Japanese, and the vibrant community atmosphere. Residents enjoy cultural events and a variety of activities, although some note that these are more suited to ambulatory individuals. However, significant concerns are raised about management and staffing. Critics highlight issues with understaffing, inadequate care, and poor communication from management. There are reports of staff being unresponsive, sleeping on shifts, and failing to properly administer medications, leading to hospitalizations. Some families have resorted to hiring private caregivers due to lack of trust in the facility's care. Break-ins and safety concerns have also been mentioned, with management accused of not being transparent about such incidents. The executive director and management are frequently criticized for being unresponsive and lacking accountability. Some reviews mention high staff turnover and dissatisfaction among employees, which affects the quality of care. Despite these issues, some families have had positive experiences, particularly those whose loved ones are more independent. Overall, while Kokoro offers a culturally rich environment, concerns about safety, staffing, and management overshadow its potential benefits for some families.
