It’s operated by Kendal at Sonoma, under administrator Annet Nakiyuka, and licensed in Sonoma County as an RCFE-CCRC since November 2023. The community serves adults 60 and older across independent living, assisted living, and memory support. Enso Village is built around a Zen-inspired care philosophy running in its programming and physical design.

No fines appear on record in the most recent February 2026 inspection, putting the overall score at 80 out of 100 against California’s benchmark of 70.

A dedicated meditation hall, contemplative care groups, alfresco dining, and a tea room are among the amenities. Spirituality and Lifelong Learning are program tracks, and mindfulness classes and yoga are present as part of the facility’s wellness programming.

Situated within a Zen-inspired, contemplative lifestyle community in Healdsburg, Enso Village is ideal for older adults in Sonoma County who require a full care continuum.
