Daily life is carefree; there’s no need to waste time worrying about mundane responsibilities. It’s easy to enjoy life and the beauty around you. Because in the heart of Carmel Valley, our lush, colorful gardens thrive, and so will you.

Features & Amenities

A Well Earned Life Of Leisure

Resort-style retirement — that may be the best way to describe the lifestyle at Carmel Valley Manor, a Continuing Care Retirement Community or Life Plan Community. All around you are glorious views and breathtaking gardens. There’s no cooking, cleaning, scrubbing or yard work required — at least, not for you. Your own tasteful apartment has a kitchen, oversized shower and private patio or balcony. Utilities, maintenance and fresh linens — they’re all included! As are three delicious meals a day in our airy, delightful dining room with its spectacular view of the valley. Select from our fresh seasonal menus filled with culinary classics and international favorites. And when you’re ready to visit Carmel-by-the-Sea or Monterey, our limousine can whisk you there. Add it all up and it’s not just retirement, it’s life with more style.

Dogs and cats are welcome! Contact us for more information on our pet policy.

Culinary Options

A taste of the Manor

Enjoy a panoramic view of Carmel Valley from The Pavilion Dining Room, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner six days a week. On Sundays and Holidays breakfast and a delicious gourmet brunch are provided. The salad bar is a favorite of residents. While the dessert bar is known for its scrumptious selection of ice cream.

The contemporary Valley Bistro offers a seasonal menu for a more casual experience. Here you will find selections like Organic Summer Berry Salad with Pt Reyes blue cheese, walnuts, mixed greens and herb vinaigrette, and there is a daily pizza special.

Chef Gregory Hiltunen offers a constantly changing menu from local farms, ranches, and fresh seafood from the nearby docks of Monterey Bay. The outdoor patio is available for lunch service most days. Plus, there is a private dining room, which may be reserved for those special occasions. Bon appetit.

Residential Contract Options

Life Care Contract

The Life Care Contract includes three levels of healthcare. Qualified residents move into a full-service independent living apartment. Skilled nursing and assisted living services are available as needed at no additional cost. Carmel Valley Manor is the only Life Care Community in Monterey County.

Monthly Fee Agreement

A limited number of independent living apartments are available for a simple monthly fee, with medical support services, as needed, at additional competitive fees. Unlike the Life Care Contract, this new, flexible option does not require an entrance fee.
