At Windsong of Sonoma in Petaluma, social life is built into the Vibrant Life® program. Residents create their own schedules, choosing activities and optional outings based on their interests, preferences, routines, and abilities. The program is designed to connect residents with family, friends, and the community, and Be Social is the pillar that puts that connection front and center: embracing friendships, celebrating the moments, and making time to talk, laugh, and listen.
For residents in assisted living at Windsong, the Vibrant Life® social calendar includes daily social, educational, and fitness activities, including Tai Chi and yoga. In Generations Memory Care, programs such as Tune Into Me, a therapeutic music program, and From Our Generation to Yours, an intergenerational program, create an environment that focuses on each individual’s strengths.
The setting supports that sense of community. The amenities at Windsong of Sonoma include common sitting areas for time with friends and family, a library and reading room, and an outdoor patio for fresh air, while Elevate Dining® brings residents together for chef-prepared meals in a restaurant-style setting or the café-style bistro.
A Calendar That Keeps Residents Connected

Scheduled local transportation makes group outings part of the routine, and the community marks the occasion with entertaining events such as its Mardi Gras celebration.
