it's a comfortable and welcoming community.

I would say five. They've created a very caring community and it's welcoming. It's quiet, people look out for each other, and people are treated with respect.

Valley Orchards So Far

The entire staff has been friendly and helpful. Valley Orchards is a clean and well-maintained community. Breakfast menus are reliable, while lunch and dinner are somewhat less so, rescued by a healthy salad bar.

A nice place ... but becomes difficult and/or complicated if the elder declines

Well my brother has dementia which sadly is progressing, so we'll probably have to move him soon. We currently have an outside small company providing personal care - helping him shower and wash his clothes. Which of course, we pay for. It'd be nice if that was available there. Moving an elder is hard on them... it'll be hard for him. I'd be nice if they could provide those services so he didn't have to move....

Mom loves view of large Redwood trees

Mom has lived here for 2 years and is very pleased with her choice. The staff is friendly and really cares. The grounds are kept tidy. Apts have patios or balcony with either a view of the garden or the large Redwoods. Favorite amenities include weekly housekeeping, raised bed gardening, library, on site beauty parlor, games, exercise class, bingo, free laundry and field trips (picnics, Bodega Bay, shopping trips, restaurant trips, smart train and casino trips). The food plan is very flexible and you have many choices at each meal. Variety of floor plans all include kitchen or kitchenette. The staff has very little turnover and seems to be happy which makes mom happy. Valley Orchard is a great choice for aging in place. You can be as active and independent as long as possible and then add caregivers, hospice or help as needed. We believe Valley Orchard is truly unique and not like all the other places. Best value for your money available in the area.

Valley Orchards seems like a nice community but the facilities are very dated (no windows in the dining room or library; more importantly tubs rather than walk-in showers in the units we looked at). Additionally, Covid protocols were lax by our standards. Residents present had masks but did not put them on when we approached.

Nice location. Difficult to drive in or out on this busy street for elderly drivers. Price, apartment amenities and food are good. Decor is not so welcoming in the common areas - seems dark. Needs a modern feel vs very old living room and old hotel hallways.

Very nice facility. Beautiful grounds and very friendly people. The ambience is that of a high end hotel. The only negative I can mention is a bit of a musty smell.

It's Pretty Amazing Here

I took a tour of this lovely, smaller community and I found it interesting. I love the residents, they were friendly and welcoming when I met them. I also ate lunch here and was so impressed with the chef's meal which was fish with sauce, it truly was the best fish I had in a very long time! This community is smaller, which is fine with me. I also did not like the dark rooms and there was no available room on the 2nd floor.

All is well so far

Mom has only been at Valley Orchards for a few weeks and she is still trying to adjust but seems to be happy there. As a family we are right in the middle of selling her home and she just had surgery on top of that. The staff as well as the residents have all been very nice and welcoming. Mom has a group of people that she eats with and seems to enjoy their company. The only thing that I would say about the cleanliness of the community is that they can probably use new carpet in the main area. Other than that things are going very well!

backyard view

I am very pleased with Valley Orchard Retirement Community. What we like most is our backyard view. It is literally like our own backyard. I have nothing to say for them to improve here. I give everything five stars.
