Assisted Living Communities in San Jose, CA

"I toured Oakmont of San Jose. They're always trying to be interactive with the people there, getting them out and doing things and going where they're at. They have window walls that open up, so it flows out to their patio in a really large way and they have activities."

"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."

"All About Seniors is an actual home setting, so it's very homey, comfortable, and has a relaxed feel. The staff also lives there so they take care of the place very well, it's very clean. The food is excellent, and because there's only six residents, the ratio is 3:6, so it's a good level of care. They still have the usual activities. People come in and play music, there are arts and crafts, and so on. It's a lot less expensive than other facilities, but provides much better care."

"The Watermark at Almaden was very nice. However, for my friend's needs, it was overpowering with activities and size. It was beautiful, but I would not have chosen it only because of its size and the fact that it was not something that my friend needed. The staff was very nice. The lunch I had was very nice, but I sat by myself. They had many activities. There were huge rooms everywhere. They had a library, game rooms, and theaters. It was a beautiful facility. I can't say that I found anything out of order or anything. The director did a good job. I was just a little disappointed that he didn't join me for lunch, but maybe he had other things to do. Upkeep and cleanliness were wonderful."

"Carlton Plaza was very nice, but the apartments were small. It’s expensive, and everything you want is an add-on. The staff was very nice and hospitable. It was very clean too. "

"We went to visit this facility. It was very favorable. It was clean. It was pretty much updated. The staff was very attentive, professional, and kind. I was favorably impressed with the accommodations. I saw the food and it looked appetizing. It was also attractive, elegant, and more up-to-date than a lot of the other facilities that I had visited."

"I toured Palm Villas of Campbell. It was the owner who showed me around. He makes a very competent impression. The rooms are not that nice, but his approach is very good because he has activities for the old people. You see old people milling around and so forth, which is a better impression. I went there and the price was higher. It's $8000 for double occupancy and the rooms are not that nice. It is privately owned, and the owner seems very competent. He knows exactly the criteria of dementia. He said to bring in the person a couple of days before so we can evaluate and know how to deal with him. He was trained in Holland and typically the training over there are three years, so he knows what he's doing, except it's higher and the facility is not that nice. The rooms are very dark. It is squeezed between high rises. I had a good impression of the guy, but I was a little bit taken aback at the price he quoted me. It was double of what is listed. They had activities and I saw them. The people were there in the activity room, so the place seemed full of life. He had a room where something was being presented, so that is a fairly good impression. The facility itself is not that great as a private company."

"We visited Belmont Village Los Gatos. It is a very new facility, so the physical appearance was excellent. The staff was very friendly and very welcoming. This isn't a negative, but it's focused on assisted living. We were looking for something with a little higher functioning population for more independent socialization. We also visited their memory care facility, and we felt that it was excellent. If memory care was our goal, we might very well choose that as our first choice."

"Oakmont of Silver Creek was out of our price range, but the staff and the food were spectacular. It's a brand new facility. If anybody in my area can afford it, I don't think they're going to find a better place than Oakmont of Silver Creek. I checked out their memory care, and it's out of this world. I saw the board, and there's entertainment, music, and just everything you could think of. Everything was great."

"The rooms were bigger at Villa Fontana compared to the ones where my mother-in-law is. Everything was very nice and clean. The staff was very nice. The apartments were larger, but they were also more expensive. Unfortunately, we could not afford to go there. "

"Regency of Evergreen Valley was more corporate in its orientation. It was very polished. The medical director in memory care was very considerate, but it was just going to be a big deal for them. My dad has a permanent colostomy, and they wanted me to hire home health care to come in and train their staff on how to deal with the colostomy. There were just more steps involved. Their memory care looks to be a very nice community. The facility was extraordinarily nice. I was certainly impressed with their community relations gentleman, whose name is Chad, and their director; they were very sensitive to our particular needs and made an effort to work with us. They were very helpful. "

"Westmont Milpitas is extremely clean. It has an indoor pool. The food is good. There's a lot of activities. Mom's apartment is great. She has a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, a walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, a good-sized room, and an eating bar. The staff is really good. I like them. The only problem we're running into is her apartment number isn't listed with the post office, which is weird, but they're working on that. They have a book club, a movie theater, field trips where they go shopping, and bingo, so they have a lot of stuff. Internet and cable are included, too."
