Ruth's Cafe
Kitchen
Children, families, staff and guests are all welcome to gather together and share a homemade meal in our family-style kitchen. Our talented chef provides three hot and delicious meals every day!
The Hub
Game Room
This room has something for everyone—books, board games, puzzles, blocks, a foosball table, a pool table and a play area for toddlers and younger children. Friends and family can also watch TV, play video games and enjoy a movie.
Colorful Creations
Art Room
Our art room is a creative space for children, siblings and parents alike. Markers, crayons, paint, stickers, clay and other craft materials are available for children and their families to express themselves, create memories or just have fun.
Children’s Bedrooms
We have eight children’s bedrooms, each with their own theme—for example, Sea Breeze, Good Night Moon and Jungle Safari. Rooms are designed to support the needs of George Mark children, and they all have a daybed where a relative or friend can stay. Nearly all have access to our gardens.
Outside Space and Gardens
Located on five lusciously landscaped acres, our Bay Area children’s home care center is surrounded by rolling hills, lush greenery and ample room to enjoy the outdoors. We have lawns, a play structure, an outdoor eating area and pathways to explore. The beautiful Northern California weather makes being outside a possibility almost year round.
Sanctuary
Our non-denominational freestanding sanctuary provides a private and peaceful space for thought and reflection as well as a lovely venue for celebrations of life.
