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.... Read more

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.

My mom is been there for two months and everything has been really great: the staff the cleaning and laundry service the food is so tasty and the price is very reasonable plus there are activities (Super caring professional activity leader and very conscientious administrator) ...we were just really grateful to find someplace small scale with a personal touch like this...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
