Fountaingrove Lodge is a senior living community in Sonoma County for LGBTQ+ adults and their friends, and the place really feels like it was made with comfort and respect in mind, since the people living there can expect an inclusive setting with services and amenities meant for LGBTQ+ seniors, and the staff offer specialized care, personalized support, and wellness programs every day of the week, with a full-time nurse checking up on folks as needed. People can choose between independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement services, so there's always help if needs change over time, and they take pride in offering memory care through The Terraces at Fountaingrove Lodge, where activities and specialized support are set up for those facing memory impairments. The apartments, which go from one-bedroom all the way up to bungalows, are bright, roomy, and comfy, with full kitchens, private bathrooms, big beds, natural light through the windows, and decorations that create a welcoming homey feeling.
There are plenty of ways to stay engaged because there's an activity calendar full of physical, social, and mental programs, including community-sponsored events, resident-run clubs, daily games, trips out on the town, and fitness options both indoors and out, like a gym, swimming pool, walking trails, and a hot tub. The dining area looks especially nice, with large windows, wood beams, stone fireplaces, and chandeliers, and all meals come from an executive chef who knows how to cook for different needs and special diets-even snacks are freshly made. It's a pet-friendly community so folks can bring cats and dogs, and there are even outdoor spaces set up for them, along with gardens, patios with comfy chairs, a movie theater, a game room, a library, a computer center, and places to gather with friends around the fire or in the lounge. Movie nights, devotional services, and regular outings help everyone feel a part of things, and services like laundry, housekeeping, transportation, and move-in help are provided, with emergency call systems and security gates bringing peace of mind.
Accessibility is built in, and both residents and guests can use parking, while the common rooms-indoor and outdoor-stay elegant and well-lit. Community culture at Fountaingrove Lodge really focuses on fostering belonging and dignity, with disability-inclusive design and a commitment to serving older adults in a respectful way. It all comes together as a peaceful, active place for LGBTQ+ people over 55, where the staff stay available 24 hours a day, daily living help is there if needed, and the grounds and services all support a vibrant and supportive community, as part of Oakmont Senior Living.
