The Redwoods, A Community of Seniors The mission of The Redwoods is to maintain a creative, affordable community that promotes good health

Warm, Welcoming and Wonderful

More than a place to call home, The Redwoods is a lively, spirited community known for our beautiful campus, rich cultural life and exciting comprehensive programs covering all aspects of physical, social, spiritual and emotional well being. Our diverse community of residents leads active physical and intellectual lives, supported by an extraordinary staff and embrac

ed by a caring 400-plus core of volunteers. Our residents range in age from 65 to 105 for an average age 87. Established in 1972 by members of the Community Church of Mill Valley (CCMV), The Redwoods Retirement Community is a freestanding, not-for-profit senior residential community on 10 acres in Mill Valley, California. Today, we are a nationally recognized model for retirement living. We have been commended for our programs, campus, and interaction between volunteers, staff and residents by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA). This organization also selected The Redwoods as a model community and venue for its annual Leadership Training Program for two consecutive years. The Redwoods has received many community honors including Best of Marin from the Pacific Sun and The Epic Award from The Center for Volunteer Non Profit Leadership and Tamalpais Bank. At the Redwoods and beyond, we work to transform attitudes and practices so that aging is recognized as a vibrant phase of renewal, discovery, service and choice.

🏯 The Redwoods was honored to host a demonstration of Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-Ryu, one of Japan's oldest surviving martial arts traditions.

We extend our appreciation to Adam, our IT Project Manager, and the members of The Mugen Dojo of Petaluma for sharing their knowledge, skill, and dedication with residents. The presentation offered a fascinating glimpse into the history, philosophy, and practice of this centuries-old martial art.

Thank you for enriching our community with such a unique and meaningful cultural experience!

Our leadership team and frontline staff recently had the opportunity to participate in a transformative training facilitated by Conscious Touch Teams. Through meaningful discussions, hands-on learning, and shared experiences, team members explored the profound impact that intentional, compassionate touch can have in building trust, connection, and well-being.

The experience left participants feeling personally touched, inspired, and empowered to bring what they learned into their daily interactions. From leadership to frontline care, everyone walked away with a deeper understanding of how small moments of connection can make a meaningful difference.

We are grateful to Conscious Touch Teams for guiding this impactful training and helping our team continue to grow in the ways we support and care for those we serve. 💙
