Why we like it

• Nonprofit operator with 68-year history

  Sequoia Living, founded in 1958, owns and operates the campus as a nonprofit. The organization runs seven communities across Northern California.

• 0.29 miles from Marin General Hospital

  Closer to acute care than most assisted living options in the county — relevant when a resident's medical needs escalate quickly.

• Physical therapy and occupational therapy on-site

  Rehabilitation services are available on campus rather than referred out, useful for residents recovering from procedures without leaving the community.

• Woodworking shop, bocce court, and putting green

  The amenity list includes a dedicated woodworking shop and outdoor recreation courts — uncommon at most assisted living price points.

• Average safety record

  6 serious and 3 minor citations across 30 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Ask what's changed and how past issues were corrected when you visit.

• Life Plan entrance fee structure

  Certificate of Authority #099 means this is a CCRC with an upfront entrance deposit on top of monthly fees. Ask for the contract type (A, B, or C) and the refund schedule before touring.

• 341-bed campus scale

  One of the larger Marin communities. Ask specifically how the assisted living wing is staffed and how residents connect with independent living amenities day-to-day.

• No published rates

  CCRC pricing typically requires a financial counseling appointment before disclosure. Build in time to review the full residency agreement — these contracts are complex.
