Overview of The Sequoias Portola Valley

Eight care types are available at The Sequoias Portola Valley in Portola Valley, CA. The community is a continuing care retirement community, and its levels are independent living, memory care, hospice care, assisted living, nursing home care, skilled nursing, and respite care.

Assisted living helps with daily tasks, and the resident keeps a private residence. A secured setting with supervision is what memory care brings when a resident’s wandering carries risk. Skilled nursing takes over once a resident’s own health requires licensed nursing care. Hospice care meets end-of-life needs, and respite care is booked for the time a regular caregiver spends away on a trip or in recovery.

Because independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing share one community here, a resident can move from one level to the next without leaving. The 328 beds are spread across those levels.

Short-Term Rehab takes someone after an illness, injury, or hospitalization, and from there they return to their usual arrangement or go on to longer-term care. Staffing reaches 4 hours and 56 minutes of nursing for each resident daily.

Suzanne Wasley-Fairley is the administrator, and Sequoia Living, Inc. operates the community. Residents can take up hiking and bird-watching, lawn bowling, garden activities, trips and excursions, and resident-led groups and committees, and pets are allowed.
