Overview
Valle Verde is Santa Barbara’s premier senior living community. Our charming neighborhood of single-level garden homes and welcoming culture creates a true sense of community.
Our beautiful 63-acre campus features mature gardens, orchards and views of undeveloped hills. Valle Verde is located in a serene, natural setting yet is just minutes away from all the cultural and entertainment venues of downtown Santa Barbara. Our residents enjoy first-rate amenities, restaurant-style and casual dining options and a wide variety of social, cultural and lifelong learning opportunities.
At our nonprofit Life Plan Community (also known as a continuing care retirement community or CCRC), you can live your life with freedom and independence — just as you always have. Additionally, you'll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing a solid plan is in place should the need for future assistance arise.
Valle Verde features spacious independent living garden homes as well as assisted living, long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation and memory support — all on one beautiful campus.

Care
Assisted Living
A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.
Independent Living
Designed to help older adults who want to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, these communities offer services and amenities that cater to residents’ needs, while encouraging a sense of community and freedom from the responsibilities of owning a home.
Memory Care
Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.
Life Plan/CCRCs
Also referred to as Life Plan Communities, these communities offer a comprehensive continuum of care for residents. CCRCs offer multiple levels of care, allowing seniors to transition between independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care as their needs change throughout their aging journey.
Respite Care
Respite care is short-term or temporary care. Respite care can be provided in adult day centers, in private homes via home health agencies and in senior living communities, most often assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.
Skilled Nursing
Skilled nursing and nursing homes are residential facilities that offer medical care and support for individuals that require a higher level of medical attention and assistance. These are staffed by licensed healthcare providers and offer a range of services to ensure the well-being and comfort of residents.

We moved to Valle Verde almost 8 years ago. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. As long time Santa Barbara residents we knew that Valle Verde was the only Life Plan Community we would consider. For me, it was the one-level living experience on a beautiful campus. For my husband, a retired physician, it was the reputation of the skilled nursing facility and his personal experience caring for his patients there along with the outstanding staff. The entire team, from the Executive Director, to the caring nursing team, to the grounds keepers and housekeeping team, all make you feel cared for and secure. The sense of community here at Valle Verde cannot be beat!

Valle Verde is a wonderful place for many many reasons. I feel very lucky to have found it and to have been able to move here. The other residents and the staff have been very welcoming and have made it easy for me to get settled. The campus is beautifully landscaped, and the location in Santa Barbara is very convenient. All in all, I highly recommend it.

Valle Verde is much more pleasurable than I had hoped when I moved in. I knew it had a beautiful site removed from city hustle. However, its location is convenient for shopping and entertainment in Santa Barbara. I'm delighted to hear bird song when I walk and to inhale the scent of roses. Our large rose garden (approx 35 bushes) are coming into bloom. Unfortunately, these words don't convey how much I love it here.

A lovely community in a quiet residential valley near the ocean. Mostly beautiful mild weather in a delightful small city. Cottage living on a campus with lush landscaping. But best of all is great caring staffing and a true community of open, welcoming, and caring friends and neighbors. Plus activities galore! It’s a true delight to live here!
