At Viamonte, dining is an exceptional experience, distinct from other retirement communities. Seasonal menus showcase both daily and local specialties, thoughtfully composed by a gourmet chef and culinary team. These menus emphasize health, with a focus on dishes that are low in sodium, fat, and sugar, ensuring fresh, flavorful, and nutritious meals. The dining plan is flexible, incorporating monthly credits that can be used at any venue within the community, from chef-driven restaurants with alfresco and private dining options to casual spaces perfect for socializing with friends. The culinary experience prioritizes variety, quality, and resident choice.
The lifestyle at Viamonte is further enhanced by a thoughtfully curated selection of common spaces and activity venues. Residents can gather outdoors in lounge areas, enjoy a spirited game on the bocce court, or luxuriate in the pool and spa within the wellness center. Indoor spaces include an art studio, a cutting-edge technology center, and an exhibition kitchen, all providing opportunities for creativity and engaged learning. Social, cultural, and educational programs and events are integral, encouraging residents to lead active, engaged lives both within the community and beyond.
Financially, Viamonte operates on a model familiar to many continuing care retirement communities, requiring an upfront entrance fee and a comprehensive monthly service fee. The monthly fee varies based on residence size and the number of occupants and covers an extensive list of services, including a flexible dining plan, all utilities, bi-weekly housekeeping, scheduled transportation, maintenance, and access to amenities and resident programs. The entrance fee, which is 75% refundable, enables residents to secure a home for life at Viamonte while also allowing for the potential to pass a portion of this investment to their estate in the future. In many cases, long-term care policies may help offset, or even fully cover, monthly service fees, further protecting residents’ assets.
Above all, Viamonte at Walnut Creek is dedicated to nurturing a warm, supportive, and joyful community. The staff is passionate about creating memorable experiences for residents and their families every day. Life at Viamonte is defined by choice, flexibility, and a forward-thinking approach to retirement—where each resident can find freedom, connection, and a true sense of belonging.
