Valle Verde Master Plan

Over the years, Valle Verde has worked to meet the growing needs of Santa Barbara’s seniors.  This began in 1966 when the first homes opened on the Valle Verde campus.  Then in 1971, nursing care facilities, a dining room, and day room were added.  In 1981 when we were faced with an eight-year waiting list of seniors wanting to live at Valle Verde, we expanded to make room for 320 seniors.  In 1984 we added apartments, a personal care facility, a nursing facility, recreation building, laundry room, and renovated kitchen and dining areas.  A memory support facility was added in 2003.

Faced with an ever-increasing senior population in Santa Barbara, we are again planning to expand the number of available homes for seniors while remaining within the limits set forth by the Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Santa Barbara in 1981.

The Valle Verde Master Plan will provide 34 new, single-story homes (in 20 buildings) on the Valle Verde Campus.  In addition to these needed homes, we plan to renovate and enhance community facilities, including the dining room, fitness center, and chapel as well as add a new staff parking lot to reduce parking on Calle de los Amigos.  

Through the Master Plan, we are also able to set aside 66% of our property for open space and landscaping, including a 4-acre oak woodland preserve.  

We are currently in the initial planning and review stages for our Master Plan.  If you would like more information, please call (805) 679-7595 or email us at mailto:valleverde@abhow.com.
