Retirement living should be fun, engaging and rewarding, constantly challenging and delighting the mind, as well as the body…

With more than 25 years of experience exploring the diverse hobbies and interests of our residents, we’re continually refining and developing our agenda of activities. At The Chateau, we have assembled an extensive Personal Expressions program to give you the chance to pursue your favorite hobbies as well as try something brand new! From Poker Night to nature hikes, shopping trips to Bay Area cruises, at The Chateau, there is literally something here for everyone.

First rate musicians and entertainers charm residents almost nightly, while inspirational speakers invigorate spirits with lectures, slide shows, and more. Whatever your leisurely pursuit, we’ve got it covered! And we’re so certain that you’ll love our Personal Expressions Program that we guarantee it.

NEW CLASS:
CONDUCTORCISE
A symphony performance, music history lesson, and aerobic workout all in one! Assume the role of a first class orchestra conductor and raise your baton to the symphonic composition of Beethoven or the melodic opus of Strauss, or boogie across the floor in fancy free splendor of a Bernstein dance number as you take part in the greatest musical you’ve ever experienced under the expert and exhilarating tutelage of maestro David Dworkin. Conductorcise, the newest course at The Chateau, puts you in the middle of the music as conductor and performer in an physically and mentally stimulating aerobic recital.

Every day is a day to look forward to, when there is purpose and fun waiting for you.
