View full state recordThe 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.
Uniquely resident-driven culture
Residents lead programs, serve on committees, run a rock chorus, manage an organic garden, and coordinate emergency preparedness — this is a community built on active participation, not passive retirement.
Exceptional natural setting
The 10-acre campus in Mill Valley features bay and mountain views, level walking paths along the marsh, an organic garden with elevated beds, and proximity to trails on Mount Tamalpais.
Non-profit with 45+ years of operation
Every dollar of revenue goes back into resident care and community improvements. The long track record provides stability and trust that newer communities cannot match.
Full continuum from independent through skilled nursing
Independent living apartments, assisted living studios, a dedicated memory care center, and a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center — all on one campus with 24/7 nursing staff.
Citation history worth discussing
