Life Plan / Continuing Care Santa Rosa, California
Fountaingrove Lodge is a senior-living community in Santa Rosa, California, for adults 55 and over, built for LGBTQIA+ older adults and their allies. It is one of the earliest purpose-built affirming communities of its kind in the country and remains one of the few that spans more than one level of care on a single campus.
Homes range from one-bedroom apartments to two-bedroom suites and bungalows. Independent living, assisted living and memory care are all offered, and the community reports full-time nursing staff on site seven days a week, which is the practical difference between a community you may have to leave and one you may not.
Shared amenities include dining led by an executive chef, a swimming pool and hot tub, a wellness center, and patio and garden space. Activities are programd rather than incidental, and the community's stated aim is a living experience that celebrates the vibrancy of living authentically as an LGBTQIA+ person and ally.
Pricing is not published. Life-plan and continuing-care communities often involve an entrance fee as well as a monthly charge, and the structure varies considerably between contracts, so ask specifically what is refundable and what happens if your care needs change.
The organization is founded around, or explicitly centers, LGBTQIA+ older adults in its mission and programming.

In California, residential care facilities for the elderly are licensed by the Community Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services. Its public register is the place to confirm this provider holds a current licence and to read whatever inspection history the state publishes.
Residential care facility for the elderly is California's term for assisted living. Facility records include citations and the reports behind them.

We would like to measure how the site is used. That part uses Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies, and it is entirely your choice. Nothing about your search or anything you type is sent to it.
Either way we count anonymous visits to each listing so providers can see whether anyone found them. Those counts have no way to identify you. Read the privacy policy.
