Martinez Assisted Living

Once famous for its orchards and vineyards, then later known as a significant shipping point for agricultural products, Martinez has become the commercial hub that it is now, evidenced by its thriving businesses and world-class tourist spots.

Building on its extensive history, Martinez’s downtown area is a scenic site in itself, as it showcases a substantial number of well-preserved ancient buildings. It is the hometown of baseball great Joe DiMaggio, and is said to be the where martinis were first concocted.

Seniors looking into long-term residential options will not regret making a Martinez assisted living community their home.

Martinez Recreation

More than a dozen parks in the city offer the opportunity for refreshing walks and other worthwhile activities. The largest and most popular among these is the Martinez Waterfront Park which showcases the beauty of the Marina and features a fishing pier and 1200-seat amphitheater.

The John Muir National Historic Site contains not just the 14-room mansion where famed naturalist John Muir lived, but also vast tracts of woodlands and grasslands, as well as a museum celebrating the life of the honored Muir family.

In addition to enjoying the beautiful weather at one of the city’s parks, Martinez assisted living residents may also enjoy browsing wares during the semi-annual Martinez Peddlers’ Faire, one of the largest outdoor antique shows in northern California, while the occasional Farmer’s Market offers fresh produce and other healthful food products.
