  Stoneridge Creek is a beautiful continuing care community. It's just a little more crowded compared to the place we chose for ourselves. They only have about 30 acres, so the dwellings are kind of packed in. They also wanted a $30,000 deposit, which is unlike any of the other ones we visited. They would refund up to 70%. That's the only refundable part. Otherwise, it's an amortization, which would give you nothing back, so we felt that was too expensive for us. The staff was very professional during the tour, and the facility was very well-maintained.

  Stoneridge Creek is a beautiful, wonderful retirement community and they have different stages. My mother was in independent living there for nine years. She absolutely loved it. She was on the fourth floor, the highest that she can go. They ended up building up around her but at the time she moved in, she could look at her balcony and see Mount Diablo and all of that. You go down, if you want, for breakfast, lunch and dinner and they had the main dining room plus they had little offshoots where you could go. They had different kinds of food that you could have so it wasn't boring. They had holidays where the family could come in, like Thanksgiving, Christmas and 4th of July, and they do barbecues. It's a huge facility. They have a pool, a spa, a steam, and exercises. My mom had a garden there. They had pickleball tennis. People could go and take their dogs. They had a pantry. My mom volunteered to work there. She also volunteered to decorate and stuff like that and then they had a lot of activities. They would have opera singers come in. They have country western bands come in and they would go out and go on many excursions. It was jampacked. My mom walked the whole place twice a day. She did like four miles. She was in really good shape. They have a reception area and they have a nurse station that you can go to for blood pressure or if you're worried about something. They also have transportation. When my mom needed to go to any of her appointments, I'd schedule transportation. She would get on the bus, and they would drop her off at Kaiser, at the door. Mom would walk in and they'd come back and get her. Across the board, it's excellent. It's just very expensive. There's a huge waiting list to get into Stoneridge and also it's a gated community so they have security guards there. Not just anybody can get in. You have to go in and say who you're visiting and if you're not on the list, they call, and if you don't want to see that person or whatever, you can't get in. There's that huge element of security and then there's parking which is really nice. They've pretty much covered it all.

  My husband & I moved into SCRC in May 2025. The place is beautiful, lovely well kept grounds, choice of 3 restaurants with takeout capabilities; 99% of the residents walk around with big smiles; the staff is fabulous, knowledgeable, friendly; it was a big relief to shed all of our “stuff”; we feel safe & are very happy we made the move.

  Our New Life at Stoneridge Creek We just celebrated our one year anniversary at SRC in January. After living in our country home that we loved for 43 years, we moved into SRC, after making the decision that our house was just too big and too much to care for at this stage in our lives. We never expected to move to a Senior Community, however after visiting SRC and finding out all the benefits of a CCRC, it was easy to make the decision (but the move was NOT EASY). We couldn’t be happier! We feel like we are on a perpetual vacation with endless opportunities for activities, exercise, intellectual stimulation, socialization, good food, health resources and safety. We love the convenience of so many opportunities right here on campus. We have more socialization here, have made many new wonderful friends and have the opportunity to join in new activities, new exercise classes we haven’t done before, endless wonderful music programs, movies and excursions off campus to places like Filoli, California Academy of Sciences and more museums, sporting events, wine tours….on and on. We have our own community garden bed and hope to start using the wood shop this year. The three restaurants offer many dining choices, so the need to cook is minimal. Plus our maintenance needs are taken care of and we have a cleaning service bi-weekly. We are so happy at SRC and our adult children are happy that we are here as well. We have given ourselves and our family a beautiful gift by moving here, as we traverse our golden years in comfort and style!

  This facility is 420 acres of nicely landscaped flat ground. Our garden terrace is more than ample and we have a large deck overlooking a fountain - we added a solar shade for those summer days. The staff here is wonderful and caring. We have three restaurants to choose from and the menus are always changing. I enjoy playing pool and walking the facility (1 mile around the perimeter), the neighborhood and some local shopping. I joined the computer committee where we advise management on our resident portal and help other residents with their computer issues. No one will be bored here.

  We've lived here in independent living for 10 years. (We're among the original pioneers!) We have NO regrets. Moving here was one of our best decisions ever. Social life is active, opportunities for activities abound, and the food is great. What's not to love?!

  On multiple visits to the property, my husband and I have been impressed with the courteous, respectful, genuinely friendly staff, the beautiful grounds, the robust activities calendar and healthy yummy food. We are excited to be on the Ready Movers List and can't wait to become a resident. Our Senior Residency Counselor's professionalism, attention to detail, never-ending smile and upbeat spirit has been so appreciated during every part of the process.

  I am a long-time resident of Stoneridge Creek and I continue to enjoy the food, service, facilities, and fellowship of the residents. They really know how to celebrate the holidays here at the Stoneridge Creek Retirement Community.

  I went to Stoneridge Creek. It's a beautiful facility. I had lunch there and the meal was amazing. I think they have very quality chefs. The rooms were very nice, and the facility was very nice itself. They've got several swimming pools, a gym, and a craft room. It's quite nice, but it's very expensive and it's something that probably the average citizen isn't going to be able to afford. For a studio, you have to put somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 down. You do get 75% of that down payment back when you die or leave, but it's still quite expensive for people to do it. They have assisted living and more acute care. They also have a little hospital there. The people I've talked to loved it. The staff members were very nice. That place is so expensive that if the staff members weren't good, I don't think the residents would be able to be there very long. I only saw a one-bedroom and it's small. It had a single room with a full kitchen, a little eating area, a living room, and then there was a bedroom and bathroom off the living room. They had a personal trainer at the gym. I saw one swimming pool that was for the handicapped. They had a hoist that puts people into the pool. There are exercise classes, and there's quite a large craft area where you can bring your crafts and store them. The grounds are very well kept and very beautiful, and it is a gated community.

  My husband and I arrived at Stoneridge Creek nearly three years ago and each day we feel as if we are living a dream in Tuscany. The variety of activities from entertainment to physical and mental fitness keep us feeling young and vital each day. The location of Stoneridge Creek is perfect. We enjoy access to wineries, shopping and hiking and bicycle trails. We have had a couple of health issues that necessitated assistance from the Stoneridge Creek staff. In every case, their knowledge and skills exceeded anything we could wish for and reinforced our confidence that this is the place to be at this time in life.

  I'm currently staying at Stoneridge Creek and it's very nice. I like that I don't have to cook, I don't have to clean, and there are people around and then I get one meal a day. One meal a day is included in our fee. There are all kinds of things, although everything is partial, because of COVID. They have an art room, they have a clothing room, they have a workshop, they have exercises, a pool and they have excursions that we can sign up for. It's very nice. The direct staff is wonderful, we get a little frustrated at the senior staff as they make decisions we don't like. They have all different sizes of rooms. And before you move in, they're completely repainted and everything is redone, and they're very nice. If there's something that needs improvement, it's probably the food. The food is not 5-stars as they promised, it's just ok. A lot of things are very good, they have the problem with short staffing as everybody does right now, but they work towards making it good as much as they can.

  We moved here almost a year ago. It is time to write down our experience and our thinking process of choosing a retirement community. We lived in Danville for over 32 years. After our four kids left home, we decided to downsize. Where to is the million dollar question. We really didn't feel like going through the cycle of selling, moving, buying another house then selling and moving again. So we bit the bullet and decided to look for a retirement community and do the last move of our lives, even though we are relatively young - late 60s. We looked around. We knew we wanted a community with large spread of land to walk around and play sports, strong health care facility inside, close to everything we care about - food, ease to go to SF for shows and restaurants, within an hour of driving to any of our four kids in the Bay Area, and shopping like Costco, Ranch 99 and Asian food! The choice is very limited for all of these needs. Stoneridge Creek was it. Most other CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Community) in the Bay Area are built around high rises with very little land around it because it is the Bay Area where land is crazily expensive. We just knew we didn't want to ride elevators up and down all day if we move there! After a year here, all of the above have been proven to be the case for us. But the biggest surprise about this place is the amazing people here. Because it is in the middle of the Bay Area, we have the most diverse, interesting, educated, highly accomplished residents here. We have made more good friends in one year here than all of our 32 years in Danville! Practically everyday we engage in deep conversations with some residents where we all learn from each other. Our advice to people in similar position as ours: Don't wait too long. Move while you are still vigorous so you can learn new things and friends. Also you may not pass the mental agility test if you wait too long! Don't worry about your stuff in your big house. Believe me, none of your kids or friends would want your furniture or decoration. Donate them and let some other people enjoy them. Get rid of them and build a new life for the last 20 to 30 years of your life. Don't waste the most important years just because you can't part with your stuff. They are not important. We lived in a 7000-foot house, we thought it was impossible to make the move to Stoneridge. We are so happy now having done that. No gardener, no pool guy, no house cleaning, no worries about maintenance, just spend time having fun, learning pickleball, joining committees, making new friends, and even did a solo concert. Do we, as residents, have worries about Stoneridge Creek despite the fact that it is just as great a place as any CCRC can be? To be honest, yes. Primarily because of yearly monthly fee increases which many residents worry about because of the uncertain nature of the matter. What makes me feel hopeful that we can reduce the amount of uncertainty is the fact that management and owners here seem to be willing to have more transparency and working relationship with some of our residents with deep background in finance, health care, management, IT, etc. I will come back here in about 9 months to report progress on that front.

  There are so many things that we enjoy and value here, at Stoneridge Creek. Top of the list is the Reception Desk, at the Clubhouse. The people there have helped us with so many things, from "How to find anything, on campus." "Want a ride home?" "Who to call for any services". Transportation! Food Services! Health services! ....and a LIBRARY!

  My wife and I moved here 3 1/2 years ago. We had been thinking for some time about finding a place to retire. We had been living in townhouses and condos for 25+ years and wanted more community than seniors typically get in those environments. One visit to SRC was all it took to decide this was the place for us. We were immediately struck by the friendly and welcoming residents and staff. We could see residents enjoying the company of each other - people we met that day are friends now. Yes, SRC has nice grounds, good food, great residences, continuing care, but so do a lot of places. Here, it's the people. Our experience during Covid has done nothing but reinforce our original opinion - SRC is a caring COMMUNITY and we're glad to be here: staff and management have kept us safe, residents have buoyed us when things felt dark. Can't recommend SRC enough

  My husband and I met with the Senior Residency Counselor for a tour of Stoneridge Creek. It is so beautiful, with plentiful, well-maintained residences, facilities, amenities, and common areas. We had a delicious lunch outdoors with our host and felt like we were eating at a fancy country club. There are more activities available than I can even remember, including gorgeous pools, 3 restaurants, yoga and dance classes, an observatory, library, and crafts rooms. The Residency Counselor did not do a hard sell, but he was so welcoming and knowledgeable that we felt right at home. When we are ready to sell our home, we will look forward to the Stoneridge Creek lifestyle, free of ownership responsibilities, with time to enjoy all that community has to offer.

  I took a tour with Nancy for a place for my grandparents, and she was so incredibly helpful! She knew the answer to every single one of my questions. I really appreciated her kindness, understanding, and empathy for our situation. The community is beautiful, and seems like a really great place to move to. I hope there's availability there when I eventually retire!

  I have enjoyed the many first-class facilities and activities of Stoneridge Creek for nearly eight years. My favorite is the Wood Shop. We make projects for our own use, for gifts, and for selling at the SRC crafts fairs. We are often able to repair furniture and other items for our fellow residents. The Wood Shop has provided a great a place to make friends and spend time with the men and women who enjoy these activities.

  Stoneridge Creek is opening back up from Covid restrictions! It is s slow process, ut we are following all the county requirements and each week something more is available!!! Kudos for keeping us super safe during the Covid shutdown and getting us our vaccines! Now we are ramping up activities here! The pools are open! I see more and more residents out and about during the day. My Bocce Ball team is currently in 2nd place! And it's grand to see everyone in the restaurants! The chef keeps preparing new recipes to delight all of us! People are smiling and enjoying all the amenities that we have! Life is GREAT!

  My mother moved into Stoneridge Creek last December. She is very happy with her well-appointed and freshly redone one bedroom unit. The staff, from housekeeping to maintenance to meal service, are friendly and helpful. The amenities and characteristics of the property are similar to those of a high-end timeshare resort. The entire move-in process was effortless due to the excellent residency counselors and marketing staff.
