The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Sonoma County, CA

"This is a continuing care community started by the Quakers. I am familiar with the skilled nursing portion of it, and it is great. But I've heard Friends House is planning to close down the skilled nursing part at some point. It's located in central Santa Rosa, near shopping and markets. Many of the residents are politically and intellectually active and there are many organized activities. The skilled nursing part of the facility is kind of institutional looking, but they offer really good care. They have a great staff, wonderful medical care. Even though it's a bit institutional, it's nice, clean, well run. The food is good, and there's music, activities, and crafts to keep the patients engaged."

"Spring Lake Village was very deluxe, beautifully made, well-maintained, and they just do everything first class. The library, the hobby rooms, the dining rooms, and the apartments are very pretty, big, fancy, and superior all around. They have Shuffleboard, Bridge, a pool hall, a swimming pool, and trips. The food was like hotel food."

"It was lovely. It was absolutely impressive. I liked it very much. I liked the individual casitas and all that. The reason I did not go there was that it wasn't in my community. I wanted to be close to my friends and where I lived now. My visit was wonderful. The staff could not have been nicer. It was a beautiful place and the staff was wonderful. The lunch was wonderful. I could not say anything negative. "
