Our location in Napa
Napa offers a walking-pace life. It’s a week-end destination for the San Francisco Bay Area — people come here to relax, hear the birds and smell the flowers, sip the wine. Many come to Napa to retire. It’s a great spot for a program like ours, offering interesting events and activities and accommodating residents who take their own pace, like our residents.
