The Redwoods is a 150-bed non-profit senior living community on a 10-acre campus in Mill Valley, with views of San Francisco Bay and Mount Tamalpais. Licensed for over 45 years, the community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing with rehabilitation.
Rather than encouraging residents to sit back, The Redwoods invites them to actively contribute to community life — from the resident-run rock chorus to the organic garden to the Seniors for Peace group that has held weekly demonstrations for over 20 years.
Non-profit structure
Every dollar of revenue goes back to resident care and staff — no investors taking a cut. Uncommon at this price point in Marin County.
10-acre campus adjacent to schools and community centers
Situated by a marsh with views of San Francisco Bay and Mt. Tamalpais. Walking paths, organic garden, and outdoor spaces are part of daily life.
Memory care integrated into the full campus
Residents with dementia aren't confined to a separate wing — when escorted, they can move freely across the entire 10+ acre property with family, friends, or volunteers.
Wellness Center with therapy pool
On-site gym, spa, and therapy pool available to residents. Fitness classes and personal wellness coaching are offered alongside the standard activity calendar.
Average safety record
6 serious and 4 minor citations across 16 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Ask what's changed and how past issues were corrected when you visit.
No pricing published
The Redwoods does not list costs online. Studios, one-bedrooms, and adjoined suites are available in assisted living — ask for a full rate sheet across all unit types on your tour.
Memory care center is newer
The site notes the memory care program was recently launched, citing this as an advantage for adopting current methods. Ask how long it has been operating and about staffing continuity.
Large 150-bed community
At 150 beds this is one of Marin's larger communities. Worth confirming staff-to-resident ratios, particularly on evenings and weekends, if a smaller-scale setting is a priority.
