The Magic of Our Annual Gingerbread-House Event
One of our most anticipated winter traditions is the annual gingerbread-house event, a hands-on celebration and favorite of our Vibrant Life® program. This festive gathering welcomes residents, families, and friends to share creativity, conversation, and laughter in a relaxed setting, while embracing the holiday season as a special time to slow down, foster deep connections, and enjoy the simple beauty of being together. Located in the heart of beautiful Kentfield, our community comes alive during the winter months with seasonal celebrations that support the well-being and joy of every resident.

We don’t just provide memory care—we create a vibrant life, built on connection, tradition, and moments that bring joy throughout the year.
The experience emphasizes presence over perfection. Residents express themselves through colorful decorations and frosting designs while enjoying meaningful social interaction. The familiar scents of ginger and cinnamon, along with the tactile nature of decorating, provide enriching sensory engagement that can spark comforting memories and emotional connection.
