Our Mission & Values
Rooted in Community, Connection, and Care
At Moldaw Residences, our values shape every experience, from how we care for residents to how we build a vibrant, inclusive senior living community in Palo Alto.
Our mission is simple, yet powerful: to enrich the lives of older adults through exceptional service, meaningful relationships, and a community built on respect, dignity, and shared purpose.

As a proud part of the Taube Koret Campus for Jewish Life and a trusted Jewish senior living community in the Bay Area, we are guided by values that reflect both our cultural foundation and our inclusive philosophy. Whether residents come to us from Jewish traditions or other backgrounds, they are welcomed with warmth and treated with genuine care.
At every level — from independent living to assisted living and memory care — our team is committed to delivering personalized service in an environment that honors individuality and fosters belonging. Through our partnership with the Oshman Family JCC, our values come to life daily in programs that inspire wellness, lifelong learning, and cultural celebration.

Our Core Values
- Respect for All – We honor each person’s journey, traditions, and choices.
- Lifelong Growth – We support enrichment at every stage of life—intellectually, socially, and spiritually.
- Community Connection – We believe strong relationships build a stronger, more vibrant community.
