Chesapeake Landing sits in Ripon, CA, and it's a senior living community with spaces for just six residents, so people get to know each other here and staff can really focus on care. The homes use a bungalow and cottage style from when they were built in 2004, and they come with roomy living areas filled with natural light, front porches, uncovered patios, three bedrooms and bathrooms, a two-car garage, a guest suite casita, and big walk-in closets in the main bedroom. Kitchens have lots of counter space and appliances like a dishwasher, microwave, and free-standing electric range. Floors are a mix of wood, tile, and carpet. People can spend time in the community clubhouse, swim in the pool, relax at the spa, and walk landscaped paths. The community has guest parking, security features such as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and it takes care of common area maintenance.
There's a memory care program with a safe environment, private rooms, and trained dementia care staff ready 24 hours a day. Residents get help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine. Those who want independent living or assisted living will find options, too, and they can get meal preparation, laundry, move-in help, and transportation. The community supports special diets and offers restaurant-style dining with a professional chef, all-day dining in a group dining room, and allergy-sensitive meal options.
Chesapeake Landing makes staying active and social easy with a busy events calendar. Weekly activities include grocery bingo at the senior center, pinochle, strength training, senior fitness classes, and chair yoga, all with certified instructors focused on balance and fall prevention. The line dancing classes and meditation sessions at the senior center encourage movement and well-being. Residents can enjoy ceramics and art classes-oil, acrylic, watercolor, and charcoal-plus weekly craft groups like Sip & Knit. For creative hobbies, there are things like a Lego Club with competitions, woodworking and garden club meetings, glass fusing classes, ceramics classes, and summer camps for local kids aged 5-12.
People living at Chesapeake Landing also get involved in community events like the farmers market at Garden Joy, karaoke nights at Main Street Inn, dance programs for those 50 and up, and community meals at the VFW Post. Families can join in with baby play days and preschool storytimes at the library or through groups supporting moms, like the Mom Walk Collective. Residents often socialize at mixers, potlucks, and dinners, with recreational activities organized by neighbors and resident-run groups.
There's high-speed internet throughout, access to a library, a fitness room, arts and activities rooms, spa and wellness spaces, and parks and cafes close by. The Mistlin Sports Park and Ripon Senior Center are just some designated places for group activities. There's a strong focus on safety with 24-hour emergency call systems and carbon monoxide detectors. Services include medication management, dining, and non-ambulatory care for those who need it.
Chesapeake Landing joins with a larger community news outlet, offering access to sections for news, sports, obituaries, classifieds, and more, both online and in print. Residents or families can submit obituaries or classified ads, and there's a digital E-Edition for wider community updates. The small town location puts shopping, entertainment, and daily needs close at hand, while the calm, landscaped setting makes it possible to relax and focus on well-being. Chesapeake Landing doesn't promise perfection, but it does offer a steady place for seniors seeking care, social opportunities, and a pace that's easy to settle into and feel at home.
