A Community That Feels Like Home
Rooted in connection, culture, and care, Moldaw Residences is a premier senior living community in Palo Alto, offering an enriching lifestyle for today’s active older adults.
At Moldaw Residences, we believe that true senior living goes beyond amenities. It’s about belonging, purpose, and peace of mind. Located on the Taube Koret Campus for Jewish Life and proudly partnered with the Oshman Family JCC, Moldaw offers a vibrant, inclusive environment where residents stay connected to what matters most.
As a luxury senior living community in the Bay Area, we offer a full continuum of care – independent living, assisted living, and memory care – within a campus designed to support lifelong learning, wellness, cultural celebration, and deep human connection.
Founded on Jewish values and open to all, Moldaw has created a welcoming home where individuality is honored, friendships flourish, and every resident is supported in living life to the fullest. Whether you’re gathering with neighbors, attending a JCC lecture, enjoying chef-prepared meals, or participating in meaningful holiday traditions, you’ll experience what sets Moldaw apart: a commitment to excellence, community, and quality of life.

"What do I want? To be alone? Sometimes. To have access to friends and activities? Sometimes. Get both either here at Moldaw. Close the apartment door – soundproof and warm. Open the door to more activities..."
"I moved here 2 months ago and couldn't be happier. Residents and staff are so welcoming, I felt at home immediately. It is stress free living with a wealth of opportunities to excercise, take art classes, enjoy performances, eat delicious food and so much more. Very highly recommended!"
“I’ve been living at Moldaw for over 7 years and have found it to be a welcoming, supportive, and friendly community. There are more activities than I can take advantage of. It’s a great place to live! And I love being on the campus of the JCC, which offers even more activities.”
“Love this place for its beautiful buildings, diversity, and friendliness. The residents and staff couldn’t be nicer. It’s a pleasure to eat in our brand new beautiful dining room and to walk the hallways that have recently been transformed. The activities are plentiful and FUN.”
“I moved into the Moldaw with my wife twelve years ago and we were very happy here. We found our fellow residents to be intelligent, well educated and fun to be with. We made many new friends. My wife passed away eight years ago and I decided to stay at the Moldaw in our two bedroom apartment. The apartment has a beautiful view and here is where my friends are.
My older sister lost her partner three years ago and I persuaded her to move in with me two years ago. We both agree that the Moldaw provides excellent food served by an attentive staff and offers more activities than we could possibly participate in.”
“I moved to Moldaw 13 years ago after my husband passed away because I didn’t want to live alone. As a World War II survivor who immigrated to the U.S. in 1954, community is very important to me. At Moldaw, I enjoy daily programs, meeting new people, and the freedom of not having to cook or clean. The transportation support and overall sense of care make life here comfortable and fulfilling. One of the main reasons I moved to Moldaw was because of the proximity to the JCC and all its programs.”
“What a fabulous place to live! We have been here for nearly three years and couldn’t be happier. It is a friendly place above all, both residents and staff, with a deep culture of caring and respecting each other. Moldaw feels like you’re living in a small town where everyone greets you and everyone knows your name. It is multi-generational and multi-cultural, open to all, and you don’t feel like you’re in an “old folks” home. There is so much to do right here on campus with a fabulous cultural hall, gym, swimming pools, café, gift shop, lectures, etc. The association with the JCC is a unique and tremendous benefit. Oh, and by the way, the food is terrific and our apartment couldn’t be better. We love it.”
