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....

I am/was a resident of this facility

My apartment at Valley Orchard has been home for over two years and I couldn’t live in a happier place. The staff is extremely caring and there is generally no turnover. Even the high school and college age dining room servers stay employed here until they move out of Petaluma. They know you by name and remember your preferences . There are plenty of extra activities like bingo and bocce ball in addition to musical entertainment, exercise classes, bus trips for shopping, restaurant dining and picnics. But one of my…
