Update: We moved here this year, and even though he already "made the sale," Dave still cares enough to check-in and see that we are having a good experience! We certainly are! Stoneridge does have all the amenities I saw on my first visit. The most noticeable aspect of this community is that COMMUNITY is valued - residents and staff are incredibly and consistently welcoming, friendly,and helpful. There's so much to do here and the spacious grounds allow you to spend time alone in beautiful surroundings or to join up with others for many activities, indoors and out. I will say that it is quite an adjustment to go from single-home ownership, doing things your own way for decades and then joining a community that determines such everyday things as when the restaurants are open for reservation, what your menu choices are, and who your internet provider will be. Many of us joke about these annoyances, but we wouldn't trade places because we can't imagine a better place to retire with safety, security, and excellent healthcare nearby. My husband and I met with Dave Kamalman for a tour of Stoneridge Creek. It is so beautiful, with plentiful, well-maintained residences, facilities, amenities, and common areas. We had a delicious lunch outdoors with Dave and felt like we were eating at a fancy country club. There are more activities available than I can even remember, including gorgeous pools, 3 restaurants, yoga and dance classes, an observatory, library, and crafts rooms. Dave does not do a hard sell, but he is so welcoming and he knows his stuff. When we are ready to sell our home, we will look forward to the Stoneridge Creek lifestyle, free of ownership responsibilities, with time to enjoy all that community has to offer.

Stone Ridge Creek is a lovely retirement community with many amenities. I found all of the facilities and the generous landscaping to be well maintained. The best part is that so many residents say they truly love living there. Nancy Gibbs in Marketing plus the entire staff there are well organized and welcoming.

Visited Stoneridge Creek recently for a friend who is considering a move there. I toured with Dave and had an in-depth conversation with him. I was impressed with his knowledge and compassion. He was generous with his time and took me to see the great facilities there. Residents were friendly and engaging. All in all my impression was very positive.

My wife and I have been on the future residents list for a few years now (we are not ready yet). We have dealt mainly with Nancy Gibbs, who has been a great facilitator. She has given us updated tours of the facilities, invited us to resident activities, and answer questions we occasionally have. The overall feeling we get is one of a true residence as opposed to an institution.

I have lived in Stoneridge Creek (SRC) for over a year now and feel that now I'm able to write an informed review of the community. I live in a villa, which is a standalone duplex, that is part of the independent living segment. This segment is by far the largest group living at SRC. A co-located facility, Creekview Health Center, is where assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing units are housed. SRC provides a sweeping range of living units ranging from a studio in an apartment building to a large standalone villa with a 3-car garage. There are 5 large four floor apartment buildings that have the most units available. This is followed by Garden Terrace units which resemble condos in a small structure, and finally duplex villas. Usually, you need to get on a wait list to become eligible for any unit, but the apartments become available much more frequently. The prime motivator for moving here is the continuous range of services as you age. You don't need to worry about finding the next level of care as you grow older and have to relocate. Most of the residents here state that they desire not to impose a burden on their children to care for them. However, the biggest benefit of moving here is the robust community along with a plethora of activities. Previously, we lived in a big house in an East Bay suburb. But a big house ultimately becomes just a big burden with few benefits, to say nothing of having to navigate stairs. I think we had just 5 neighbors that we communicated with frequency. Here at SRC we already have over 50 people we see and communicate with frequently. We see the same people in group exercise classes, cultural excursions, dining, and a bunch of other activities. It's super easy to develop new friendships. Everybody is friendly because there's no reason not to be. I'll just gloss over the other aspects of SRC. The food is good. There are three restaurants. Even though you only get one meal a day, we almost never cook and are inundated with food. The facilities are beautiful and resemble a Marriott resort. For example, there is no need to leave the campus for an invigorating walk. The place is expensive and that rules out a lot of people being able to live here. You are basically a renter of your unit. You pay a hefty entrance fee that is 75% refundable if you leave. You get no interest on the entrance fee money you put in. So, that's an opportunity cost of maybe 8%-10% you might have gotten in the stock market. On the other hand, you are now unburdened with the cost of property taxes, home maintenance, and basic utilities. Check out your alternatives. You may just want independent living such as Rossmoor. However, for a full service "the rest of your life" type of living accommodations, SRC will be hard to beat.
