Highly recommend Deer Park Retirement
[name removed] was only at Deer Park Retirement Community for a few months, but during that time I was very happy with the room, staff and amenities. [name removed] wasn't mental capable of independent. If she had been, would have been a perfect place for her. I think it is well- run and convenient to all necessities. I highly recommend it to others.

Deer Park seems well-maintained. It sits atop a hill with a fabulous view of Mt. Burdell. The studio we toured had been tastefully renovated recently. Unfortunately, my mom couldn’t see herself living there, especially with her small dog. It felt “too big” from her perspective and challenging with her mobility issues. She felt it would work best for more independent people than her.

Lovely location
We chose Deer Park because we really liked the idea of him being close to family and he knows the area very well. It also seemed like for where it was, it was affordable. The facility is lovely, it is up on a hill and when you look out the dining hall you are looking over the Rolling Hills of Novato. He is in a studio and it is very small especially for the money we pay. He said the food has been a little bit hit or miss during COVID, but before COVID he did like the food. They have just opened the dining hall at reduced capacity. Overall, I would recommend this community.

A very nice place
The management was a little tough. It was a good experience for people who are able bodied and independent. The food was good with a variety on the menu. The dining room had a view of the hills. The staff were good. friendly, and very helpful. but is was hard to a staff member when you needed one. They have laundry facilities on each other and movie room on the third floor. It has a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view of the hills around it and the building is very nice.

Did Not Care For It
I did not care for this community when touring it. As soon as you entered you got it with an odor of fried food.The staff was friendly and nice. I did not care for the way the community was laid out it felt very confining almost institutionalized.

Good community for independant senior
Things are going well so far.I know my grandma was a little taken back because she hadn't moved her car for a while and they asked her to move it. She can't walk very well and they only offer two handy cap spots so that peeved here a little.Other than that we we pleased with Deer Park and it is very comfortable to visit her. We chose Deer Park because the other communities were assisted living and she didn't need that much care.We liked that it's a senior community.

We toured this community when looking for my mother. It was very clean with a friendly staff.They were able to answer all of our questions during the tour and we got a great first impression of the place. They offered many activities and it seemed like a great place to live. The only downside is it was too far from my mother's desired location. We ended up choosing a community closer to home but this place is a great option families looking for a centralized community near Santa Rosa or San Francisco.

Best food I've ever had
The food here is the best I have ever had, and they have dedicated themselves to making sure the food is excellent. It is like dining in a fine dining establishment everyday. The activities here seem appropriate for the patients here. The only thing that I would complain about is that the place is supposed to be an Independent Living Community and there are quite a few people here that seem to need Assisted Living with wheelchairs at the dining table and what have you.

Deer Park Retirement Community offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Deer Park Retirement Community 8.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
