Why we like it

Viamonte at Walnut Creek is a 300-bed life plan retirement community operated by Sequoia Living, a non-profit with over 60 years in senior housing. The community anchors The Orchards at Walnut Creek, a mixed-use lifestyle center, offering nearly 200 architecturally distinctive residences across independent living, assisted living, and memory care.

Recognized with a tech-forward senior living award, Viamonte features a pool, spa, fitness center, bocce court, art room, multiple dining venues, and an underground garage — all within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and BART.

  • 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.
