Sequoia Living Community Partnerships

Sequoia Living proudly supports organizations that align with our mission to help older adults age healthy and joyful.

Quick Answer

Sequoia Living actively engages in community partnerships with organizations such as the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, John Muir Health Foundation, Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly – San Francisco Chapter, and MarinHealth Foundation. These collaborations are crucial as they align with Sequoia Living's mission to support older adults in aging healthily and joyfully. For instance, Sequoia Living proudly sponsors the Buck Institute's Live Better Longer Community Seminar Series and supports the Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly – San Francisco Chapter Annual Gala, demonstrating its commitment to the well-being of Bay Area seniors.

The following partnerships reflect our deep connections to the Bay Area and the regions we serve, the seniors who participate in our programs, and the people who call our communities home. Thanks to our foundation, Senior Services for Northern California (SSNC),  we can help create brighter futures for those aging in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Beyond the partnerships listed below, our residents and staff support numerous charities through donations, volunteer work, and activism.
