About Brookside Skilled Nursing Hospital

+
Brookside Skilled Nursing Hospital, located at 2620 Flores Street in San Mateo, California, is a nonprofit skilled nursing facility dedicated to serving the Peninsula community with integrity, compassion, and clinical excellence. As a nonprofit corporation, Brookside's mission is grounded in resident welfare rather than shareholder returns—a distinction that shapes every aspect of care delivery, staffing priorities, and community engagement. San Mateo occupies a prime location in San Mateo County, nestled between San Francisco and Silicon Valley along the western shore of San Francisco Bay. Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, now part of Stanford Health Care, is one of the region's premier hospitals and is conveniently close to Brookside, enabling efficient hospital-to-rehab transitions and ready access to specialist services. Kaiser Permanente San Mateo Medical Center also serves the community, giving families multiple options for coordinated acute and post-acute care. The Flores Street neighborhood is residential and quiet, yet close to the full amenities of central San Mateo. Central Park San Mateo—a beautiful 16-acre park featuring a Japanese Garden, tennis courts, and walking paths—is just minutes away and a beloved destination for family visits and outdoor recreation. The vibrant downtown Third Avenue corridor, lined with acclaimed restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, provides a lively setting for families who want to make the most of their time in the area. Hillsdale Shopping Center, one of the Peninsula's premier retail destinations, is also nearby. For residents and families who enjoy the Bay's natural beauty, Coyote Point County Park and the San Francisco Bay Trail offer sweeping views, picnic areas, and access to the waterfront. The mild Bay Area climate, with its cool foggy summers and gentle winters, provides a comfortable year-round environment for residents. Brookside Skilled Nursing Hospital provides comprehensive skilled nursing services, including short-term rehabilitation, wound management, post-surgical recovery, and long-term care. As a nonprofit, the facility reinvests in staffing, programs, and facilities to ensure residents receive attentive, high-quality care in a setting that honors their dignity and individuality.
