Why we like it

Channing House is a 264-bed nonprofit cooperative in the heart of downtown Palo Alto. Unlike most assisted living communities, Channing House is resident-governed — members have a direct say in how the community is run.

Its location in the center of Silicon Valley puts residents steps from University Avenue shops, restaurants, and Stanford University.

  • Resident-governed cooperative

    As a nonprofit cooperative, residents participate in governance decisions rather than having a corporate management company call the shots.

  • Excellent safety record

    An FYI Safety Score of 9.2 demonstrates a strong and consistent inspection history.

  • Prime downtown Palo Alto location

    Walkable to University Avenue dining, shopping, and cultural amenities, with Stanford University nearby.

  • Large, well-resourced community

    At 264 beds, one of the larger communities in the Bay Area, with the programming depth and staffing that scale enables.

  • Pricing not publicly available

    Channing House does not publish its pricing, so families will need to contact the community directly for cost information.
