Sleepy Hollow Villa sits in San Anselmo, California, right in Marin County, and keeps things simple with a capacity for only six residents, so things tend to feel quiet and more home-like than some bigger places, and you'll see features here that you won't always find elsewhere, including wheelchair accessible showers, full kitchens, fireplaces, air conditioning, and cable or satellite TV right in the rooms, plus ground floor units for easier movement and private or shared bathrooms depending on the room you choose, and they'll let you bring your pets if you have a cat or dog. Meals come in many styles, with options for any time dining, chef-prepared cuisine, and choices that cover veggie, vegan, organic, gluten-free, low or no sodium, diabetic-friendly, and international tastes, so they can serve meals to fit almost any medical or personal need, and they'll also offer room service or extra plates if you have a guest visiting.
The place runs like a residential care home, officially licensed by California as a Residential Care Home for the Elderly, and is owned by Northern California Senior Care LLC, so you get services such as medication management, high acuity care, diabetic and incontinence care, and a staff trained to work with dementia, including memory care in a secured part of the property with safety features, emergency alert systems, and a specific focus on those who can't walk on their own or need lots of daily help with things like dressing, bathing, eating, and getting around. You'll find ambulatory and non-ambulatory care, plus some special support like staffing and ancillary services for high needs residents, and they make sure personalized care plans are used so care fits the resident.
Respite or short-term stays are available if someone wants to stay for a short visit or while their regular caregiver needs a break. The activity program at Sleepy Hollow Villa gets pretty full for a small place, with things like movie nights in a theater room, devotional activities, art and cooking classes, wine tasting, singing karaoke, educational speakers, fitness and brain games, trivia and community service projects, or just hanging out in the game room or swimming pool, and there are regular day trips, family-friendly events, and live performances too.
The building itself offers both indoor and outdoor common spaces, a central fireplace, TV lounge, game room, piano/organ, library, enclosed courtyard, and even a Jacuzzi, so residents have spots to relax alone or with others, plus a garden, walking paths, and patios where they can enjoy the outdoors as the weather allows, and the community is pet-friendly. Transportation gets handled with both resident parking, a complimentary shuttle, and paid rides for off-site appointments or errands, so people aren't stuck onsite all the time.
Caregivers handle laundry and housekeeping, errands, grocery shopping, and set up private dining rooms for special meals if needed, and rooms come furnished but you can usually bring personal touches. Staff can speak Armenian as well, and religious services are available if requested.
Sleepy Hollow Villa accepts seniors with dementia and provides 24-hour non-medical care and supervision, though they don't take Medicare unless certified by CMS, and they're up to date on licensing with California's Department of Social Services, with regular inspection and complaint visits completed. The team builds a sense of connection among residents by promoting simple, shared activities, and since they only house six people, each resident gets attention that bigger facilities can struggle to provide.
