Senior Living Communities in Northern California

The Single Best Thing To Do When Investigating Senior Living Communities

How would you go about selecting the best possible senior living community for you?


Can You Imagine Your Life as a Termite?

The time comes when we begin to think seriously about retirement. After moving to our new home at Paradise Valley Estates (everyone calls it PVE), we learned there are termites here!


Memorial Day at PVE

Every year, we have a community barbecue of major proportions (and portions) for Memorial Day.


Kentucky Derby Day at PVE

Here at PVE we don’t have an Easter Parade. However, on the first Saturday in May we do have our own “eggstrawapanza”.


The Dog Park at PVE

Here at PVE, pets aren’t just accepted, they’re welcomed and loved! That’s why we have an off-leash dog park for residents to play with their four-legged family members.


PVE’s Got Your Goat?

Last Sunday, our granddaughters sat carefully upon the wall overlooking the meadow along Laurel Creek. Below, they watched a herd of multicolored goats grazing as bells tinkled around their necks.


Card Making with Yuriko

As the director of a very busy, creative and productive marketing department, I was looking for a fun activity as a reward for my team and also an opportunity for a little bonding.


The Goats of PVE

Much has happened. The 6 Shooters are on the march. We have played two more bocce matches and won both of them. This, in spite of the interesting distractions around the court.


Fore!

One of the ways we try to age gracefully is by taking care of minor problems before they become really big deterrents to retirement living.


Retro Chic

What is one of the “hottest” places to be found at PVE? From 11:00 AM till 2:00 PM Monday through Friday, the most popular spot on campus is The Store, a tiny retail establishment tucked away between the Travis Credit Union and Rawlinson Hall.
