Windchime Marin

I dropped in at lunchtime, unannounced, to see if I could tour this memory care facility for possible placement of a family member. And I’ve just finished putting a deposit down, as I was so impressed with each staff member whom I met, the overall look & feel of the place, and my encounters with the residents. Executive Director Lauren Cottman took over an hour out of her day to cheerfully provide my unscheduled tour. I asked a lot of questions, as both my late mother and mother-in-law were in memory care facilities, in Carmel and San Rafael, respectively. Both of those past experiences were good and I I believe that WindChime of Marin will provide the same quality of care with a similar enriching environment. The physical setting is in a beautiful garden surrounded by redwood trees. Lauren showed me the one available private room with the garden view. Kudos to Lauren & her team.

I can’t say enough positive things about Windchime of Marin. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with warmth, compassion, and a genuine sense of care. Whether it’s music therapy or art classes, the staff ensures that every resident has opportunities to connect, create, and thrive. The staff are not only professionally trained but also attentive. You can tell they genuinely care about each resident’s well-being. The community is safe, clean, with cozy common areas and secure outdoor spaces that encourage movement and social interaction. If you’re looking for a memory care community that combines outstanding programming with compassionate, attentive care, I wholeheartedly recommend Windchime of Marin.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt peaceful, welcoming, and full of life. The staff greeted residents by name, engaged them with genuine kindness, and created an environment that felt more like family than a care setting. It’s clear that every team member takes great pride in what they do.
