Non-profit operator with 60+ year track record
Owned and operated by Sequoia Living, a respected non-profit — revenue goes back into resident care and community improvements rather than shareholder returns.
Walkable mixed-use neighborhood
Integrated into The Orchards at Walnut Creek with a grocery store, retail, and dining steps away — residents live in a real neighborhood, not an isolated campus.
Full continuum of care
Independent living, assisted living, and memory care available onsite — residents can age in place with 24/7 clinical staff as needs evolve.
75% refundable entrance fee
Entrance fee is 75% refundable to the resident or their estate — a meaningful financial protection that not all life plan communities offer.
Tech-forward, modern design
Purpose-built with contemporary architecture, recognized with a tech-forward senior living award — a genuinely modern community, not a retrofit.
Large-scale community
At 300 beds, this is a sizable community — the mixed-use integration helps it feel less institutional, but families should visit to gauge the atmosphere.
Entrance fee required
Like most CCRCs, requires a significant upfront entrance fee plus monthly charges. Multiple contract options are available — families should understand the financial commitment before touring.
