A small, licensed residential care home in the Sunset District — warm, personal, and lovingly run by a registered nurse since 1985.
Janet's Residential is a home first and a care facility second — established for elders who want warmth, dignity, and a genuine family atmosphere instead of a large, impersonal institution.
With room for only eight residents, every staff member knows your loved one by name. We offer round-the-clock supervision, home-cooked meals, help with the tasks of daily living, and celebrations for every birthday and holiday. Over the years we've been honored to care for five residents who reached 100 or beyond — one just two days shy of her 104th birthday.
Located in San Francisco's Sunset District with a secured, fenced yard and just minutes from UCSF, we combine the comfort of home with real peace of mind.

For nearly four decades, families have entrusted Janet with the people they love most.
"The warm and compassionate care our mother has received over the years has certainly provided her with a home. After her stroke, there was no question where she would go after the hospital — home to Janet's."
"I looked at almost all the board and care homes in San Francisco for my father. Janet, the owner, is an R.N. and very knowledgeable. Her staff is amazingly attentive and caring."
"Janet truly is an Angel in every sense of the word. Putting your loved one in Janet's care gives you 100 percent peace of mind. I have entrusted her with my family members for close to 20 years."
"Janet demonstrated qualification, knowledge, and a caring approach. The home is friendly, clean, and wheelchair accessible, with helpful caregivers around the clock. Thank you for a smooth transition for our family."
"It felt like a functional family rather than institutional care. The owner and staff are patient and kind, and I never worried about safety. It made a very difficult decision so much easier."
"Janet Spires runs a safe, pleasant, and homey operation. Experienced and trustworthy, with real integrity and sound judgment. I recommend her to any family seeking quality board and care."
Sunlit rooms, a blooming garden, good food, and a home full of warmth.
