About Valley Orchards Retirement Community

Active Retirement Living in Beautiful Sonoma County!

Our family developed Valley Orchards in 1983 with one goal in mind...to serve people. We have always felt that if we provided service in the best way possible, at an affordable all-inclusive monthly rate, Valley Orchards would be a success.

Without question there is a strong sense of family among both our staff and our residents. We work together, we play together, we laugh together, and we cry together.

I spoke with the manager Judy on the phone and she was completely short and rude to me as I was trying to help a friend find a friendly place to live in Petaluma. Before I could complete asking my questions she said I don't feel comfortable speaking with you and I'm disconnecting the call. I can only imagine the treatment senior receive at this community. It is old, dated, and they do not begin to know the meaning of service to seniors or the local community. Stay away!!!!
