Deer Park Retirement Community

We moved in January.. So we have been here for almost 4 months. It is bright and beautifully maintained. Housekeeping comes once a week. They vacuum, mop, wipe down cabinets, and will change your sheets if you want. You get 3 meals a day and the menu is varied. The dining room is bright with a beautiful view of the mountains. Dining is an opportunity to socialize and make new friends. The Deer Park van will transport you anywhere in Novato and bring you back. All the staff has been cheerful and helpful. So far , I feel this was the right choice for us. CA & TS

This actually is my 2nd review of Deer Park! (The first one was written after we’d toured it, but before my dad moved in.) Deer Park is a great place and also reasonably priced! The people (both the staff and the residents) are genuinely friendly and have gone above and beyond to help my dad, who has very significant vision loss from glaucoma, feel welcome and at home. He is very happy at Deer Park and that is saying something, as he is a bit of a curmudgeon (and pretty socially awkward). Again and again, I have seen staff members go above and beyond to assist him and to do so with a kind attitude! I 100% recommend Deer Park, which also has activities, outings, a van for errands, a library and a nice garden right off of the dining room! Also, they have live entertainment, which when we were there, consisted of a singer who was really excellent. One last thing, a very nice breakfast, lunch and dinner menu (and snacks) are available in a restaurant-like setting (this is included in the monthly fee), but if a person is not feeling well, the kitchen will bring meals to a person’s apartment.

I have been at Deer Park Retirement Community for almost 4 months now. I am very happy that I moved here after doing my research. Staff are very friendly. Dining room offerings are good and often very good. Staff is committed to residents being heard and resident needs being met as much as possible. The staff does listen very well to questions and ideas and does a very good job even in complicated.situations. Anyway, the amenities are extensive, and much appreciated. It's also pet friendly, which is a plus. Residence are never made to feel like an interruption or in intrusion, because staff realize we are the reason that they are here. Staff and management share information they are given by Bend Corporate office when they are given it.
