America's first Zen-inspired Life Plan Community
Founded through a partnership between the San Francisco Zen Center and Kendal Corporation, with a continuum from independent living through memory care on a 15-acre Healdsburg campus.
Contemplative Care as a named staff methodology
A stated care philosophy integrating mindfulness practice and moment-to-moment awareness into direct caregiving. Not just campus aesthetics but a described operating standard for care staff.
Greens-inspired dining on campus
The café/bistro draws on the culinary tradition of Greens Restaurant, the San Francisco Zen Center's farm-to-table kitchen. A specific culinary lineage not typical of senior living dining programs.
Zendo, hydrotherapy spa, and Memorial Grove on campus
Amenities include a dedicated meditation hall, indoor heated pool with hydrotherapy spa, Tea Room, Makers Space, and over two miles of walking paths across 15 acres.
Life Plan Community entrance fee
Life Plan Communities typically require a substantial upfront entrance fee alongside monthly costs. No pricing is publicly listed; request the full residency agreement before committing.
Only 30 assisted living residences
Assisted living is 30 of 275 total residences. Demand from the larger independent living population could affect availability and waitlist timing.
Northern Sonoma County location
The campus sits in Healdsburg wine country, north of the Bay Area. For families visiting frequently or coordinating specialist care, the distance is worth factoring into the decision.
