“Friendship, Love, and Truth.”
That is the motto that drives the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), and it’s the philosophy that makes The Meadows of Napa Valley such a special place.
The IOOF has a long history (two centuries!) of serving others, and today the non-profit Odd Fellows Home of California is the owner of two incredible Life Plan communities in the Bay Area—The Meadows of Napa Valley and Saratoga Retirement Community. These communities fulfill the Order’s mission to serve others and we are honored to care for those in their later years.
In 1893, the first Odd Fellows Home was established in Thermalito, California. In 1912, the Odd Fellows moved their home from Thermalito to Saratoga, California, and for 100 years, members of the Odd Fellows, their widows, and Rebekahs have resided there. In 1992, the Odd Fellows of California purchased The Meadows of Napa Valley. For some time, the two retirement communities were managed by two separate non-profit organizations—Odd Fellows Home of California and Odd Fellows Housing of Napa. The two organizations eventually merged into what is today the Odd Fellows Home of California, a public benefit non-profit corporation that owns and operates The Meadows of Napa Valley and Saratoga Retirement Community.
Imagine resort-style living in one of the most desirable cities in the country. In the heart of Napa, you can be the proud resident of a studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom or two-bedroom deluxe apartment. Everything you need—and all that you could want—is within reach on our 20-acre property, including: a 6,000-square-foot Fitness and Aquatic Center, three unique dining venues, a rich calendar of activities, and on-site Continuum of Care healthcare services. Not to mention you have all of Napa Valley in your backyard! No matter how your needs evolve over time, we’ll grow right alongside you.
“Members move in because they see that there’s friendship here. If they want to continue to live the life of an Odd Fellow or Rebekah, we have a lodge here, so they can continue that. They will find that our activities are very good, the people are very friendly, and the dining is first-class.”
“We have a lodge here; if you want friendship, to meet new people, and you enjoy fellowship, this is the place to be. It’s nice to live in a community of like-minded people, and we can always use more Odd Fellows and Rebekahs to move in.”
“The community here is very friendly, as well as the staff. They quickly learn your name. When we go to the dining room, they know what we want to drink, and they often bring it as we sit down. Of you remember that TV show Cheers, ‘where everybody knows your name,’ that’s here. Everyone knows your name!”
Both The Meadows and Saratoga provide a luxurious retirement experience that seamlessly blends together the values of friendship, love, and truth with community fellowship. The chance to live among other like-minded Members, and the endless opportunities to continue to serve others, make both communities a place where Members will feel at home.
