The Best Senior Living Communities in Sebastopol, CA

"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 liked Clearwater at Sonoma Hills. It was lovely, clean, brand new, and well-appointed. It seemed to be well-staffed and very secure. I couldn't have been more impressed. Holly was the gal who helped me, and she was delightful, very informative, and gave me great information on things surrounding dementia and Alzheimer's. They had something for everyone, like a beauty salon, classrooms, game rooms, several restaurants, a movie room, and a workout room. One of the restaurants was open at any time. If a resident slept late or got hungry during the day, the food was available 24/7, which I thought was lovely."

"I placed my stepmom at The Terraces Memory Care 3 1/2 years ago. Every time I've seen her, she is smiling, joking with the staff, and says that she's "perfect". The unit is always clean, the staff are always welcoming. The celebrations are planned to give people occasions of elegance and enjoyment. Since we were there, there have been two major fires and a pandemic. Our loved ones have been kept safe, and we have been kept updated. I cannot highly enough recommend The Terraces."

"I did a tour of Fountaingrove Lodge, and it had everything I could want and more. It was top of the line. The apartments were spectacular. The staff was friendly and extensive. I think the staff was almost two-to-one; one staff to two clients. They had dogs, art rooms, and they had a garden place if you wanted to garden. They have a movie theater. They fed us lunch, and it was spectacular. It was just like eating in a restaurant. It was outstanding. They have a separate bar that has snacks and you can go to that instead of going to dinner. The person who led us was very good, and very helpful without being pushy at all. He was just trying to give us good information. The food, I would call it excellent. A lot of variety, a menu to choose from, and good service staff. They had every conceivable amenity and activity. They had a game room, and a pool room, and a separate card room. The facilities themselves are beautiful. On one side, you look out on a vista over the city, and on the other side, you look out on the golf course. It's just beautiful."

"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."

"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!"

"Brookdale Windsor was clean and everybody seemed pretty nice. They were very helpful in trying to do whatever they needed to do to help me encourage my mom to come there with advice. Their menu seemed like it had lots of choices. You could either have the main dinner or if you didn't care for what was for the main dinner, there were several other choices."

"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 toured Windsong of Sonoma. It was very nicely appointed. It was newly upgraded and it seemed like a very nice community. The people that I saw there were friendly. The rooms are quite spacious. They were newly painted and newly carpeted, and they looked very clean and nice, and very comfortable. During the tour, the staff were very nice and personable. The manager that we spoke to was very knowledgeable and had some good suggestions, and it seemed like the few that we were introduced to knew what they were doing. I liked the fact that they were all in the same type of uniforms and that sort of thing. It was very good."

"I liked MuirWoods Memory Care. It was excellent. It was just too far. If it had been closer, I would have picked them. Sean, the sales director, was so good at what he did. They were so helpful and kind. They gave me some cookies, and that almost sold me. It's beautiful, so clean, so quiet, and so professional. The size of the rooms was good. There was a courtyard, and the rooms go all around the courtyard on the perimeter. It's very convenient."

"Healdsburg was great. I liked the fact that the people were honest. I also liked the cleanliness of the facility, the attention that was given to the residents, and that the people are caring and compassionate. The food is great. They also have a garden where they incorporate some it into their food program. They have chickens and goats so that my husband can look out the window and see the animals (which is wonderful because we're from a farm here)."

"I will move into Cogir of Sonoma Senior Living. There was a wide-open common room, and some women were playing a card game, but for the most part, there was nobody in there, and that was fine because they were mostly out doing stuff, so that was one of the things that impressed me, that people were still very active. The common area was very nicely appointed and looked very comfortable. It would be a place where I would want to bring people or go in and sit by myself and relax. I went to a couple of places, and you were only allowed to put something on your door, like a wreath. I noticed that at Cogir of Sonoma, there are entry decorations on the floor, which is fine, going in the entry, and going towards your door. Somebody put out one of those butler statues and that kind of thing, and I like that. There's a little bit of flexibility. We were not there during the regular lunchtime serving time. So, it was around two o'clock, and the food was delicious. It was very good. Everybody around my table, kids and adults, ate it right up. The staff was over the top. She was good."

"My mother has lived here for several years. Her apartment is quite nice and the staff and caregivers are very loving and kind to her. She enjoys activities and they do a great job even though the past couple years have been more difficult with having to cut back some of the group outings and rides, they have still made my mother's life so much better than it would have been if she was home alone and isolated. The friendships and opportunities to enjoy good conversations with friends has helped keep her in good spirits. I would highly recommend Cogir of Napa Road to anyone who doesn't want to be lonely at home anymore."

"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."
