Named memory care program
Memory care residents live in Stillwater Cottage and participate in the Evergreen program — specialized activities, therapies, and sensory experiences designed for Alzheimer's, dementia, and other cognitive impairments.
Two-bedroom floor plans available
Apartment homes range from studio to two-bedroom — uncommon at this scale, and relevant for couples or residents who want more than a standard AL unit.
High-volume review rating
4.9 stars across 69 reviews on one aggregator. Staff responsiveness and personalized attention are the most frequently cited reasons across the review set.
Night-shift coverage in memory care
One reviewer reported a fall requiring hospitalization, citing insufficient overnight staffing in the memory care unit. Ask specifically about staff-to-resident ratios on the night shift.
Premium price point
Multiple reviewers flagged cost as a significant barrier, describing it as one of the more expensive communities on the Monterey Peninsula. Request a full rate sheet before touring.
Compact campus footprint
At 78 beds, reviewers noted the physical footprint is smaller than most peninsula facilities. Consider whether the scale suits your loved one's activity preferences.
