Belmont Village of San Jose

Belmont Village looks more like a free standing hotel. Rooms are nice, spacious and there is furniture also. Staff is good, very friendly, and they also have a lot of staff.

I had an opportunity a few weeks ago to quickly tour Belmont of San Jose with my mother, who is considering moving to an assisted living facility in Northern California. We dropped in unannounced at Belmont of San Jose and were warmly greeted; additionally, a staff member offered to give us a quick tour. The facilities are updated and modern, and every staff member and resident who we bumped into had something pleasant to say. The dining area was clean, bright and cheerful, and while we didn't have time to sample the food, the menu looked quite appetizing and the residents seemed to be enjoying the meal. We looked at two studio apartments and found them both to be well laid out, with an efficient use of the available space (room for a double bed, a small sitting area with TV, ample closet space and a small kitchen area with a microwave and a refrigerator). There's a wonderful terrace on the 7th floor which is perfect for relaxing, reading and socializing. Lastly, the facility is located a very short walk from Santana Row, a high end shopping area with many nice restaurants. The Belmont of San Jose is definitely on our short list of possible facilities, and is certainly worth a look.

I've referred a number of clients to Belmont Village, and I've visited it. They offer assisted living, independent living, and memory care. And--very unusual--they have a special program to help seniors who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to live there, funded through private donations. They specialize in helping veterans--and offer a sliding scale.

It's a huge facility, over 300 rooms, and it looks like a Hilton--located in a prime area of San Jose. It's very upscale, attached to Santana Row, which has a lot of upscale shops and restaurants. There's good access to everything: the freeway, public transportation, and walking. The rooms are private, small studios, but with a separate bedroom.

They have an excellent staff: case managers, social workers, LVNs, RNs, certified chefs--all very caring, engaging, well trained. The CEO is the co-founder, and she really cares. It's all about mission for her.

The activities are good, too. They have something for body (exercise programs), mind (trivia games, that kind of thing), and spirit (there's lots of positive energy among the staff).

One of my family friends lives at Belmont Village and I've been very impressed with the facility every time I've visited. Belmont Village is located in an extremely lovely and convenient location surrounded by excellent shopping and dining. He is very pleased with the facility's location and the care that he receives. He is fed three well-balanced and nutritional meals a day, and the staff is always courteous and watchful of him. It is important to me that the staff is well-trained and genuinely enjoy their jobs, which they most definitely do. I would recommend this facility to other families who want to ensure their loved ones will be well cared for.
