Laguna Honda Foundation

The Laguna Honda Foundation helps to sustain the innovative excellence and healing environment of Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center in San Francisco, California. 

Laguna Honda is a city-owned and -operated acute care hospital that provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to a safety net population of 780 seniors and adults with disabilities. 

Its award-winning care emphasizes programs and services that maximize independence, promote individual choice, and enhance connections with family, friends and community.

Among Laguna Honda’s unique services are its restorative care program, named a 2008 Best Practice by the California Hospital Association; its Spanish and Chinese language programs, which enable monolingual residents to receive care in their native tongue; the only HIV/AIDS skilled nursing program in the San Francisco Bay Area; and a nationally recognized program for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. 

Laguna Honda is a rehabilitation center as well as a skilled nursing facility, providing occupational, physical and speech therapy for people coping with the effects of stroke, traumatic brain injury, degenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis and other disabilities.

The Laguna Honda Foundation supports the therapeutic, research and civic mission of Laguna Honda.  It provides funding for innovations in treatment, programming and community partnership, expanding the horizon of possibilities for people receiving skilled nursing care.
