Sequoia Living Viamonte at Walnut Creek sits right next to shaded woodlands and connects directly to The Orchards, a center full of shops, restaurants, and outdoor spaces, so residents get both calm surroundings and easy access to stores and cafes. The community serves people who are at least 60 years old and is run by Sequoia Living, which has been in nonprofit retirement services for over 60 years. As a Life Plan Community, also called a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Viamonte has nearly 200 architecturally distinctive homes, offering one- and two-bedroom floor plans that allow for both privacy and community activities.
The Department of Social Services licenses Viamonte under license number 79201006, and the community provides several levels of care, including independent living, assisted living, foster care, and specialized memory care for older adults. The building itself has safety and handicap features, sprinkler systems, washers and dryers, and cable TV access. Common spaces are well-designed to help residents meet and interact, while private living areas give each person plenty of room for themselves. Amenities here include cleaning and kitchen/kitchenette service, laundry and dry cleaning, secure parking, Wi-Fi, and cable TV, and the monthly fee covers most daily needs like meals, utilities, linen service, housekeeping, and transportation.
Dining stands out with club-style spaces, a bistro bar, alfresco areas, guest dining, and a chef-led menu that offers seasonal and healthy options both indoors and outdoors. The community features a fitness center, pool, spa, game and activity rooms, art studio, technology center, exhibition kitchen, and a bocce court. There's also a full-service salon and barbershop, housekeeping, room service, and transportation, including a shuttle to the BART station for trips into the Bay Area. Residents have access to various programs like arts and crafts, educational events, wellness activities, and social gatherings, with a focus on keeping everyone active, well, and engaged, and staff can help with medication, daily care, and therapy services if needed, with 24-hour emergency response in place.
Viamonte allows pets under a set policy and permits overnight guests for up to 14 days without special approval, even offering guest rooms and rollaway beds. Residents can keep their current doctors and use long-term care insurance for coverage. An entrance fee, which is 75% refundable, secures a home for life and there's a 90-day cancellation for a full refund if plans change early on. Various contract choices include partial refundable entrance fees. Residents pay one monthly fee for a long list of services, and the community rates high with a 4.8-star average from 8 reviews online. Viamonte also provides resources for long-term care, family caregiving, and insurance, making planning easier for families.
Alongside all these services, Viamonte offers an environment built for healthy aging and personal growth. Residents can take part in many activities or just enjoy the landscaped grounds, spa, fitness facilities, and outdoor lounges. The design and choice of amenities promote independence, connection, and active living, giving seniors several ways to find purpose and comfort in daily life.
