Is Rossmoor Right for Me?


Is Rossmoor a retirement community?

Rossmoor is a planned community for active adults who are 55 years or older. While many residents are retired, many others are still working or planning for their retirement.

How is Rossmoor different from assisted living or a nursing home?

Unlike assisted living, Rossmoor provides independent living for active adults. Medical care and daily living assistance are not provided by the community itself.

What happens if I need assistance later in life?

Because Rossmoor Walnut Creek is an independent senior community, residents must be able to live independently or arrange for their own caregiving needs. There is no assisted living facility or caregiving services available in Rossmoor. Many licensed caregivers and caregiving service providers who have helped past residents advertise in the Rossmoor News and might be available to hire.

What about The Waterford? Isn't that an assisted living facility?

No, The Waterford is a congregate living facility that has no medical staff on- or off-site. The 300 condominiums are independently owned.The monthly assessment covers housekeeping, insurance, the RWC amenities, food service, trash/recycle, water and Comcast basic cable and internet.The assessment does not cover the homeowner’s PG&E, property tax or routine expenses such as plumbing or heating and air conditioning.

Can residents apply to work at Rossmoor?

No. There is a policy that does not allow residents to hold jobs with Rossmoor Walnut Creek. However, qualified family or other referrals may be considered for employment so long as they do not live in Rossmoor.
