Holiday Redwood

Napa's wine country is the setting for Holiday Redwood, an independent living community at 2350 Redwood Road. It serves older adults who handle their own care and want meals, housekeeping and a social calendar taken care of. The operator is Holiday by Atria, the rental brand Atria uses for independent living.

Rent includes a private apartment, 3 chef-prepared meals a day, housekeeping and linen laundering, scheduled local transportation, building and grounds upkeep, basic utilities and a calendar of daily events. Care and medication management are not part of the rent, and phone, cable or internet may be billed separately.

Outdoors, a patio with water features gives residents a place to sit with neighbors. Inside, several apartment floor plans are available, and the calendar of daily events runs from exercise classes to social hours. Outings can include rounds at Eagle Vines Golf Club or Chardonnay Golf Course, walks at Alston Park or on the Bartholomew Winery Trail, and shopping at South Napa Market Place and River Park Shopping Center.

Residents who need support now or later can use third-party care providers that lease space in the building, or keep caregivers they already know. Families should ask which providers are on site, how they bill, and whether a resident can switch providers later. This setup lets a parent stay in the same apartment while adding help.
