Overview
Sequoia Living runs senior housing and community programs for older adults across the San Francisco Bay Area, including people with different incomes and care needs. Its Life Plan Communities combine independent homes with access to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing as residents need more support. Beyond residential care, it operates affordable housing and senior centers, while intergenerational programs connect older adults with younger people through shared activities. Senior Services for Northern California, its philanthropic organization, raises and manages donations to support these programs and residents. Founded in 1958, Sequoia Living is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
