More than 150 affordable housing residents, San Francisco Senior Center participants, Millennium School students, and team members spent a beautiful day together at Filoli Gardens in Woodside, CA.

They walked the trails, enjoyed the sunshine, and shared conversations along the way. The day ended with lunch and a special moment, a student violinist playing in the gardens.

A heartfelt thank you to Bronwyn and our Community Services team for making the day feel so seamless from start to finish.

These are the moments that bring our intergenerational program to life, creating connection in ways that feel natural and lasting.

During National Library Week and National Volunteer Month, we’re shining a light on the power of reading and the people who make it possible.

Through Empowering Children Bay Area (ECBA), volunteers spend time each week reading one-on-one with students, helping build confidence, strengthen reading skills, and create a sense of belonging.

It is simple, consistent, and lasting. A few pages at a time. Conversations that stay with them.

Thank you to all volunteers who help nonprofits and community-based programs create meaningful change, one person at a time.

Over the weekend, Sequoia Living was part of the Livelong Media Women’s Health Summit in San Francisco, a two-day event centered on living well, staying curious, and continuing to evolve at every stage of life.

One moment that stayed with us came from Jane Fonda, who shared a simple but powerful perspective: .

It is a mindset that feels deeply familiar.

At Sequoia Living, we often talk about Never Stop Growing, not as a tagline, but as a way of life. Staying engaged. Staying connected. Continuing to explore what is possible.

Different words, same idea. Keep going.

Take a moment to watch this short clip from her talk.

Curiosity led the way. At our recent Lunch and Learn at The Tamalpais Marin and The Sequoias San Francisco, prospective future residents gathered to explore what life in a community setting can look like.

From a thoughtfully curated menu to meaningful conversations, guests heard directly from current residents, those who have already made the move and are living it every day.

It is one thing to learn about floor plans and pricing. It is another to hear what life feels like from the people who call one of our Bay Area Life Plan Communities home.

Interested in what this could look like for you or someone you love? Let’s start the conversation: https://hubs.la/Q04b_8Qm0

Five reasons why life plan communities foster a sense of belonging, but when you’re a resident, it doesn’t feel like a list. It feels like connection, support, and day-to-day gatherings: https://hubs.la/Q04b_b3S0

From consistent support to resident-led groups, committees, and thoughtfully designed shared spaces, Sequoia Living's Bay Area life plan communities (or CCRCs) are intentionally designed to foster connection and a sense of belonging each day. Read the full article for more on community living.

Have you ever visited an independent living community and wondered how everyone knows each other? It’s not because life plan communities are full of extroverts—it’s due to the fact that communities are designed with belonging at the core. Belonging is intentionally shaped not only by a buildin...

A favorite trail, still part of the journey.
Shell Ridge Trail has always been a go-to spot for Betty and Doug, Viamonte at Walnut Creek residents. The trail is known for its scenic paths and is shaded by more trees than nearby Lime Ridge.

“It used to be just a couple of blocks from our home. This photo was taken after we moved to Viamonte.”

Some things don’t change, just the starting point. Never Stop Hiking. Never Stop Exploring.

At The Sequoias Portola Valley, residents continue to shape the world in remarkable ways.
Meet Fabian Pease, PhD, recently inducted into the Silicon Valley Engineering Council Hall of Fame. https://hubs.la/Q049WDdd0

Dr. Pease began his journey at Cambridge, building what we would now recognize as nanoscale 3D printing. His career went on to span UC Berkeley, Bell Labs, and Stanford, where he helped advance silicon chips to be denser, faster, and more energy efficient.

Just as meaningful, he mentored more than 50 PhD students, supporting the next generation of innovators.

A life of curiosity, contribution, and continued growth.

The team at Eastern Park Apartments, a Sequoia Living's affordable housing community, recently celebrated something truly special, Ninel’s 100th birthday.

Born in March 1926 in Voronezh, Russia, Ninel (lower left wearing a royal blue dress) has lived a life rooted in dedication, family, and resilience. She built a career in medicine, raised her family, and made a new home in the United States in 1994.

Today, she continues to stay active, participating in programs across the city and bringing her signature style and bright presence wherever she goes.

Her advice for a long life:
“The secret to long life? It is to love and have a good heart.”

We’re so grateful to celebrate this incredible milestone.

Diana didn’t expect this chapter. At first, she was hesitant. Now, she can’t imagine life any other way.

“I’ve made some of the best friends of my life here at The Tamalpais Marin.”

From shared hikes to everyday moments, she found connection, and a rhythm that keeps her moving.

“If I don’t go on a walk every few days, I feel like I’m missing out.”

Never Stop Hiking.

Meet Diana.
She didn’t expect this chapter, but now she wouldn’t trade it.

New friendships. Fresh air. Hikes every few days.

“If I don’t go, I feel like I’m missing out.”
