Purpose and Joy

At WindChime of Marin, every day is designed with purpose and joy in mind. Our Vibrant Life® program offers a full schedule of activities to nourish the body, mind, and spirit. From the moment residents greet the day, our team is there to guide them through a balanced mix of physical, social, and creative engagements. The mornings often begin with a flag salute, patriotic songs, and gentle chair yoga—setting a positive tone for the day. Since mornings are when our residents’ minds are at their sharpest, we offer enriching activities like journaling, short story writing, and trivia games to keep their minds engaged.

Music is a cornerstone of life at WindChime. Live musicians visit regularly, bringing guitar, piano, and even saxophone performances to our community. Twice a week, a vibrant drum circle encourages residents to sing, play, and dance together. Our “Tune Into Me” program creates personalized playlists for each resident, providing comfort and joy on days they may prefer quiet reflection. Music therapy not only uplifts the spirit but also fosters deep emotional connections, sparking memories and smiles.

Personal Connections

The boutique size of WindChime of Marin is one of our greatest strengths—it allows every staff member, from maintenance to administration, to personally connect with residents. At WindChime, we meet each resident where they are. For some, that means joining a group game of bingo or balloon tennis. For others, it might be a quiet walk in the garden or an afternoon tending plants in the Garden Club. Our team respects the individuality of each resident, offering both encouragement and flexibility to ensure they feel supported and valued.

Special experiences are a highlight of our community life. Through our Living the Dream program, residents get to fulfill meaningful bucket-list wishes. Recent experiences have included a day-long chess tournament for a lifelong chess player and a private ballroom dance session for an accomplished dancer. These moments bring residents’ passions to life, creating lasting memories for them, their families, and our staff. Each event is a reminder that it’s never too late to live with purpose and joy.

Culture of Care

At the heart of WindChime is a culture of care, connection, and celebration. Our days are filled with activities, laughter, and the simple joy of being together. Whether it’s through a shared song, a meaningful conversation, or the accomplishment of a long-held dream, we strive to make each day vibrant and fulfilling. For our staff, the reward is in the smiles, the stories, and the trust our residents place in us. That’s what makes life at WindChime a truly special memory care community.
