ABOUT SEQUOIA LIVING

Founded in 1958, Sequoia Living is a Bay Area nonprofit organization that provides stimulating, joyful living environments and services that enrich the lives of older adults from all economic backgrounds. Through our diverse network of life plan communities, affordable housing communities, and community service programs, our team of extraordinary people seeks to create everyday experiences that bring joy and promote lifelong growth.

We believe every day is an opportunity to grow stronger, wiser, and more connected to the people and the world around us. We believe our job is to help make every day a joyful experience for residents, program participants, community members, and each other. We believe in creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected for who they are.

We believe every day should include at least a little fun — however you choose to define it.

Our pride … Our recipe for success is blending residents and program participants with Sequoia Living team members in unique, supportive environments to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. We bring remarkable people together who share a common goal: to provide service above and beyond the ordinary.

Our spirit … Sequoia Living seeks to inspire personal growth and well-being, whether through participation in activities and programs, or reflection and contemplation.

We believe growth is fundamental to well-being. Never Stop Growing.

Our promise at Sequoia Living is always to be a safe place for people to be who they are.

We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals are welcomed, valued, and respected.

We believe in inclusion, not exclusion.

Sequoia Living’s mission is to provide homes and services for healthy and joyful aging for people of all cultures, races, ethnicities, genders, abilities, faiths, identities, backgrounds, and walks of life. While we may be a small voice in a very big conversation, we will step up, show up, and speak up.

We have long lived the values of inclusion. We will continue to listen, learn, and work together to end the prejudices that have had such devastating effects on society as well as the people we see each day in our communities and service locations. Whether they are a resident, a staff member, a program participant, a contractor, or a customer, everyone is valued. Every person who walks through our doors enriches us.

They are family.

They are friends.

They are part of our community.

They make us better.

YOU make us better.
