Muirwoods Memory Care
Muirwoods Memory Care is a licensed residential care elderly located in Petaluma, California, specializing in memory care services for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) provide non-medical care and supervision in a homelike setting for people 60 years and older who are unable to live independently.
Muirwoods Memory Care has a licensed capacity of 80 residents. Services include assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management. RCFEs also provide meals, housekeeping, laundry, social activities, and 24-hour supervision. Many offer specialized care for residents with memory impairment.
Who We Serve: RCFEs serve older adults who need assistance with daily activities but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Residents may include those with early to mid-stage dementia, mobility limitations, or chronic health conditions.
Memory Care Services: This facility offers specialized memory care services, including staff trained in dementia care techniques, activity programming designed for cognitive engagement, and appropriate safety measures. When evaluating memory care options, families should consider staff training, staff-to-resident ratios, security features, and the approach to managing behavioral symptoms.
Licensing: RCFEs in California are typically licensed by the Community Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations.
Payment Options: In California, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Assisted Living Waiver (ALW). Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact California Department of Health Care Services or visit https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/AssistedLivingWaiver.aspx to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply. Wait lists are common for waiver programs, so applying early is recommended.
Families researching assisted living options should verify the facility's current license status, review any inspection reports, and schedule a visit to assess whether the environment and services meet their loved one's needs. You can verify this facility's license and view inspection reports at California's facility search.

I would like to share my experience with Irma H. who works at this facility. When I see Irma would like to say that she always has a beautiful smile and very friendly, and nice attitude, when assisting me through the facility. Irma, has a positive and excellent customer service for the public and the staff in this facility. I have only met Irma, a few times, but it’s been a pleasant experience for me. Best wishes for you going forward with this journey and the future. Thank you.
Very nice place. I’ve been a private caregiver and regular visitor her for 2 years now. The caregivers are very attentive, kind and Wonderful with their residents. I’ve seen how they take care of the residents and they are very hands on. from the receptionist to the cooks, activities and caregivers. Wonderful teams and most of them have been here for years. Highly recommend it.
There are 2 aspects of this facility, the care provided to the residents and the way the residents family is handled. As far as I can tell they do a very good job of providing compassionate and careful care for the residents. Dementia is a difficult condition to handle and the caregivers obviously know their business. The administrative, business and logistical aspects are a very different story. At one point they implemented a new laundry system which resulted in the immediate loss and mix up of every resident's clothing. When we moved my brother out nearly half of his clothes were missing and we had a number of items from other residents. They seem to have ongoing staff changes especially at the management level. The business and administrative director seem unwilling to return phone calls or emails and the front desk concierge appears to take detailed messages but they mostly never get delivered. Resident care is obviously paramount, but when the administrative issues manifest as missed communication and unanswered questions one has to wonder about how well the facility is actually being run.
My husband has been a resident at Muir Woods for 3 years. He receives very good care from the care staff but especially from his wonderful caregiver Jone T. Jone is very attentive and communicates all of my husbands needs to me. Grateful for his care.
We moved to MuirWoods memory care a little over 2 months ago. Like all places, there are challenges for memory care and often the emotional as well as physical hardship can make the confusion that accompanies memory loss and cognitive impairment so much harder. I am really pleased with all the staff I encounter. So much effort every day. As our family member's memory continues to weaken they are there to bolster. For privacy I wont list all the staff, but you know who you are and I will continue to thank you when we cross paths.
