Discover seven ways life becomes easier when you make your next chapter one of ease, growth, and confidence in where life is taking you.

Choosing a Life Plan Community, also known as a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), is not only about simplifying your life. It’s about making room for more joy and growth in your retirement years.

At Sequoia Living, our four Bay Area Life Plan Communities: The Sequoias San Francisco, The Sequoias Portola Valley, The Tamalpais Marin, and Viamonte at Walnut Creek, offer everything you need to live with ease and purpose. From lifelong learning and social connection to comprehensive care and delicious dining, here are seven reasons you’ll have less to worry about when you make the move:

Isolation can take a toll on both emotional and physical health. In a Sequoia Living community, connection happens naturally, whether you’re joining a book discussion, sharing stories at dinner, or strolling with neighbors through the gardens.

Friendships flourish through resident-led clubs, committees, and social events, all designed around shared passions, from art and music to gardening, Mahjong, or volunteering. Every day offers a new opportunity to meet peers who share your interests and outlook on life.

At Sequoia Living, you’ll quickly discover what many residents say: you’re not just moving into a new home —you’re joining a community that is warm and welcoming.

A curious mind never stops growing, and our communities make it easy to stay mentally and creatively engaged. Residents enjoy a robust calendar of activities, lectures, workshops, and cultural outings that make lifelong learning accessible and exciting. 

“I love the activities. I’ve learned how to play Mahjong,” said Brenda P., a resident at The Sequoias. “There’s something for everyone here.” 

You might find yourself exploring art in a studio, attending a guest talk from a local university, or taking up a new hobby you never imagined. With opportunities just steps away, Sequoia Living makes it simple to keep learning, evolving, and enjoying every stage of life.

Confidence for the future is built into the life plan model. At Sequoia Living, you’ll find a continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

That means if your health needs change, your support system is already in place. Our experienced staff members, wellness programs, and on-site medical resources help you stay proactive about your health, while 24/7 emergency response ensures you’re never alone in a time of need.

It’s not exclusively planning for tomorrow; it’s about living well today, knowing you’re prepared for whatever may come next.

Say goodbye to leaky faucets, yard work, or scheduling repairs. At Sequoia Living, our professional team handles maintenance, landscaping, and housekeeping, freeing you to focus on what truly matters.

Residents often say this freedom gives them back the most valuable gift of all: time—time to travel, create, volunteer, or simply connect with friends.

Every day is yours to design without a to-do list standing in your way.

Dining at Sequoia Living is more than a meal; it’s an experience. Each of our communities features chef-curated menus made with fresh, seasonal ingredients that nourish the body and delight the senses.

Prefer to cook? Many residences feature full kitchens, allowing you to prepare your favorite recipes or enjoy restaurant-style dining with friends. From casual cafés to elegant dining rooms, every bite is served with warmth and care.

Healthy aging starts with great food, and our culinary teams make it deliciously simple.

Life Plan Communities make financial planning easier. Your monthly fee covers the essentials: meals, housekeeping, maintenance, transportation, utilities, and access to wellness programs, all in one predictable package.

No more juggling unexpected expenses or repair bills. And because Sequoia Living offers on-site care options, you can also plan ahead for potential healthcare needs with greater confidence.

In short, you’ll spend less time managing bills and more time enjoying a secure, fulfilling lifestyle.
