The Redwoods,
A Community of Seniors

December 3, 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of The Redwoods. In the 1960’s, members of the Community Church of Mill Valley began plans for a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation to create a retirement center to serve moderate and low income seniors who lived in the area and wanted to stay in the community. In 1972, the ten acre campus opened. Today, The Redwoods has become one of the leading residential communities for seniors in the Bay Area, and offers senior residents both independent (including a number of dedicated affordable rate apartments) and assisted living apartments as well as skilled nursing and long-term care. Among the many activities offered, the Rev. Jacquie Hoffman, CCMV’s minister-in-covenant, leads the weekly Interspiritual Inquiry group; CCMV ministers and musicians lead a Christmas Eve service. In addition, two members of the congregation serve on the board of The Redwoods.
