So many beautiful trees!

This tree sits on one of our many beautiful garden paths that cover our campus! The red berry's seem so festive as we start to plan for the holidays!

Our History, Our Gardens

This flower box sits at the crossroads of our campus. I have seen pictures of it from our opening day in 1921. We treasure our founding and those guiding principles are reinforced here at Aldersly every day!

Raindrops On Roses

Just a few of our "Favorite things"! Even in the rain and with gloomy skies, the gardens are there. Wonderful!

Rainy Days

I am often asked "What do your residents do when it rains?" Our beautiful garden courtyard apartments all open to the outside. During the rainy season here in beautiful central San Rafael, we are prepared for rain. We have raincoats, and rain hats and umbrellas. Pretty simple stuff. Being outside every single day keeps you engaged and part of the community. Active , Healthy and Well.

Beautiful Garden Paths

Our Gardens are wonderful! There is always a place to sit and enjoy the beauty. I love walking these paths!

What a View!

Our residents enjoy their meals in our magnificent dining room. The view is spectacular Mt Tam is such a wonderful mountain here in Marin. Everyone loves it and hikes it and just loves to look at it!

Fall Colors

The Japanese Maple Trees are about to turn Fire Engine Red! Yes, we do have fall colors here in San Rafael! It is wonderful to see our gardens change season to season!

Meet Buddha!

We have the most incredible pets here at Aldersly! Buddha comes to work every day! He mostly stays in our Assisted Living Building greeting visitors and keeping residents company, but I have seen him take off on his own exploring! The staff and everyone who meets him just loves him, even Boris! What a special pet he is. Welcome to Aldersly Buddha.

Door to Door Service!

This beautiful state of the art new van will take our residents anywhere they want to go. Our driver is always on time and will get you where you need to go!

Birds of Paradise

This plant is so beautiful. I am amazed that it is blooming again! Our gardens have the most interesting plants! Everywhere you look is wonderful.

Look at that blue sky!!

The weather in Central San Rafael is IDEAL for retirement living! We are coming up on the middle of November and we have 70 degree days! What are you waiting for? Stop by for a tour!

Happy Plant

This beautiful Plant greets me every morning! It sits at the front door to my office. It always looks happy! Our gardens are happy and they make our residents happy. I always find our residents sitting in the gardens as I tour our campus.

Dahlia?

Came to work this morning and look what I find in the garden! I think it is a Dahlia, however....Anyway it is beautiful and such a surprise. I guess I never know what will pop up in our mature magnificent gardens! Stop by and see for yourself!

Sweet Rose!

I post a lot of pictures of our garden! We're kind of famous for them! This yellow rose is so sweet! The scent is heavenly...Right outside my office. You really need to stop by for a visit and see for yourself. Call me anytime!
