What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent option for families seeking affordable, high-touch care where the owner is personally involved in daily operations. However, due to a highly critical allegation regarding a resident's discharge, families should perform rigorous due diligence and ask specifically about their protocols for resident transitions and crisis management.

Redwood Senior Living is highly regarded by families for its warm, home-like atmosphere and the hands-on, compassionate leadership of the owner, Anthony. While many praise the affordable pricing and attentive staff, one extremely serious allegation regarding a resident being dropped off at a homeless shelter serves as a critical point of concern for potential families.

Key Review Excerpts

I have been extremely happy with how Anthony and Barbara run this place. My mom is receiving top quality care unlike our last experience. I am also really happy with their patient to staffing ratio. The rent is very affordable and that is what brought us down there.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★★

We thought we'd never find a place we could afford, Mom had dementia and could be combative. Redwood Senior and Anthony really worked with us, not the most modern of places but secure yard, good and nutritious cooking, caring workers too!

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★
