LGBTQIA+ senior living with on-site nursing seven days a week
Santa Rosa, CA
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.
