The Best Senior Living Communities in Petaluma, CA

"I toured Atria Tamalpais Creek. I thought it was the best fit considering the activities and homey feel. It seemed like it was the best fit for my mother's personality. Her room is a typical studio with a small kitchenette. It has a high ceiling, a balcony with a view and trees, and a parking lot. The staff has been very friendly and helpful. We had lunch there. My mom was happy with that, it was not too fussy, and it's appropriate for where she's at right now."

"My friend and I went on a tour of Deer Park. We both liked the environment because everybody was independent. It seems like the people were friendly. They showed us their apartment. I think it was their number one so far and it was reasonable in cost. The dining area looked good. My friend might want to take that one, but she's not ready yet. The man who took us on a tour was very helpful. They had a beauty salon, an exercise room, a movie room, and a gathering room. They call it a bar area."

"I went to see Oakmont of Novato. It was very nice, very modern, very clean and very new. I didn't get to interact with the staff, just with the director who took me on tour and she was very nice. The room I saw was very nice. I saw that the residents had just played a particular game but I wasn't there long enough to see any of the activities. I went to their memory care portion so the amenities are a little bit more limited. I didn't see the assisted living part of it, which I believe has all of those things. They have a patio area for the memory care people but I think they have a larger area for assisted living. I liked the director who toured me. She seemed to be very knowledgeable and very caring. I also saw the guest menu and it seemed fine. "

"AI took us on a tour with my mother-in-law and husband. Very nicely decorated, clean freshly remodeled rooms. We looked at both 1 and 2 BR apartments. The room chosen has a nice balcony with courtyard views. The food was delicious ordering off the menu. The Dining room staff were very friendly and considerate to my MIL requests for dietary restrictions. We could see they were interacting with other residents the same way. They offered extra help with move in needs. AJ was very helpful with the admission process and is great with follow up with any need or request we have. Thank you AJ."

"I’m really looking forward to my Dad staying at Ivy Park. It was such a pleasure working with Honey, too. She is knowledgeable, caring, accommodating, and even went the extra mile in getting paperwork handled for my Mom. Healthcare challenges can be daunting, but I am grateful to have had Honey in our corner. She was a huge help and I have total confidence that my Dad will be happy here. Thank you!"

"The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill seemed a little bigger, which was good. I liked that. The location is very nice. It's an extension of where the old hospital was and the building itself, the structure, is very nice and very, very well located. It's essentially almost across the street from where we live. They had a snack bar and there was a kind of a little cafe, not a big restaurant, with few tables and a coffee bar. I went into a couple of different rooms that were slightly different sizes, but they seemed to be a little larger and a little more homelike rather than a studio or hotel. Jeanette was excellent."

"My dad liked Brookdale Paulin Creek a lot. The staff and the residents were all very friendly and welcoming. The tour was nice. The lady, Miro, was very, very kind, very thorough, and answered all of the questions. My parents were able to sit down and sample a meal and they were both very happy with the meal and the selection of food available. I, and the health aide that was with us, ate as well and everybody loved the food. The rooms were pretty large."

"I liked the location of Brookdale Chanate. I liked the staff. The people were very, very professional, kind, and compassionate. I was very, very impressed. The facilities were clean, and it was very quiet. At first, I was going to pick Brookdale Chanate because of the location, but I decided to go with the other place because it had more lighting and it was brighter. Brookdale Chanate is in amongst the redwoods, so it's darker, and the view out of the room was just a big redwood tree, but it was nice. I was impressed with the size and layout of the rooms, even the shared rooms. They were good-sized rooms."

"I toured The Lodge at Piner Road. They were very organized. They had a very good sense of community there. They had by far the best-looking units of the three places that we looked at. The high ceilings really helped give it a sense of good space. It's a very good facility. The staff was very positive and very professional, too."

"Solstice Senior Living at Santa Rosa appeared to be too expensive for me, but it was very nice. Megan did a very good job of showing me the apartment and explained all the details of their facility. She took me down to the dining area and explained that they have a restaurant-type dining area where waiters come and take your order while you sit at the table. I didn't see the activities, but she explained that they did have all kinds of activities, and they had a bus service there that would take you to town. She did say they had organized activities, and they had a meeting room that people could use. The facilities were quite beautiful. That was probably the nicest of the places that I went to."

"My husband has moved into Villa Capri. The atmosphere is very quiet, calm, and clean. There's a lot of staff for the residents. I like the location. It just seemed very organized and the people love working there. They have been so helpful because there were times when I didn't know what to do. They were professional, kind, and caring. The food is very good. It's laid out well. He's on the first floor. It has a nice atmosphere. They told me they have all kinds of activities. They were doing bingo. They had a guy come in to talk about hot air balloons. They do TV aerobics. The size of the room is pretty good."
