Danville Assisted Living

While being considered one of the wealthiest suburbs in the Bay Area, Danville has firmly maintained its small-town charm by regulating major developments and loyally advertising its few commercial centers.

The refreshing California climate makes for enjoyable walks along its city streets, which reveal beautifully-crafted, well-preserved houses built as early as the nineteenth century.

With Mount Diablo providing a scenic backdrop, assisted living in Danville is an ideal choice for seniors seeking stability and comfort.

Danville Recreation

Residents of assisted living in Danville will be fascinated by what the city has to offer. The famous Mount Diablo State Park provides not just idyllic picnic areas and nature trails, it also houses its own museum as well. Smaller parks, such as Osage Station Park and Diablo Vista Park, have their own wonderful sites.

The occasional Moonlight Movies on the Town Green and Music in the Park summer concert series in Oak Hill Park are things to look forward to when the nights are too hot to spend indoors.

Danville Activities

Even in this peaceful setting, seniors enjoying assisted living in Danville will find plenty to do. The Danville Library boasts a collection of more than 78,000 books, and hosts various activities for seniors and all age groups. Also hosted by the city is a Senior program that includes art classes, cooking demonstrations and fitness workshops.

The Museum of the San Ramon Valley, located in the restored 1891 Southern Pacific depot, features revolving exhibits and grants guided tours along the Alamo Cemetery and Old Town Danville. For more vintage car exhibits, the Hot Summer Nights event is hosted every other Thursday in July and August on Hartz Avenue, with live music in the background.

A number of medical groups can be found in the city, which employ many highly capable physicians and medical technicians.

It has state-of-the-art facilities and a comprehensive Senior Services program.
