Located on the northern end of Sonoma City, Sonoma Acres is a full-care nursing home. It is housed in a striking mid century building complete with a rock wall, fireplace, and three and a half acres of gardens. It is an entirely private facility, accepting no medicare funding. It has only 32 beds in both private and shared rooms. It specializes in patients with dementia issues and offers a high ratio of nurse care per patient (one and half hours per day more than state regulations). There is a full-time activity director for the facility, which offers art classes, current events classes and religious events. There is always a liscenced nurse on the premisise and it offers short-term respite and hospice care.
