The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens

This is who we are.

We are artists. Golf enthusiasts. Educators. Business owners. Volunteers. We are many things, but mostly, we are a community. We are The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens. Come join us.

Arminee

Discovering Artistic Passion

With her pastels and paints, Arminee transforms blank canvases. She sculpts dancers and musicians, capturing their joy and movement in bronze. It’s hard to believe Arminee only discovered her artistic talent in her 60s.

Douglas

Active Living Is a Matter of Course

Douglas is a regular on golf courses around the Fresno area. Two to three days a week, the avid golfer tees off first thing in the morning, usually walking the 18 holes rather than using a golf cart. He shot an enviable 73 at the age of 72.

Bev

It’s All About Coffee, Tea and Sociability

When people think of Bev, the first word that comes to mind is “social.” In all aspects of her life — whether it be entertaining for 100 or exercising in a pool — Bev seeks out opportunities to gather with others.

Carolyn

She Keeps the Gears in Motion

At 6:30 every morning, Carolyn heads off to work at Ray-Check Manufacturing, the machine shop she owns. She takes orders and sends out invoices at her company, which makes steel blocks used in the testing industry.

The Terraces is an award-winning senior living community.

Best Continuing Care Retirement Community badge from U.S. News & World Report, 2023-2024
