Villa Capri at Varenna
Operated by Varenna Assisted Living LLC and GSL Mgmt Living LLC, Villa Capri at Varenna is an assisted living and memory care community on Fountaingrove Parkway in Santa Rosa, California. Maria Cortes serves as the administrator. Assisted living and memory care are both offered, so residents can move to a different level of support as their needs change without relocating.
The two-story community has 80 beds and has been serving residents for 19 years. Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments ranging from about 450 to just over 1,000 square feet. The community currently has an occupancy rate of about 84%. The area is car-dependent, so residents and visiting family should expect to drive for most errands and outings.
Residents have access to a fitness and yoga studio, library, bistro, courtyard, movie theater, activity room, and an on-site salon and beauty parlor. Apartment suites feature modern finishes and large windows that create a bright, open living space.
The California Department of Social Services conducts regular inspections of the community. Inspection reviews have mainly focused on medication administration, how quickly staff respond to resident requests, and how changes in a resident’s condition are shared with family members. Families considering Villa Capri at Varenna may ask how these areas are managed daily.
