Memory Care Communities in Belmont, CA

"It is on our short list. They're building it, and when we looked at it we were wearing hardhats to look at the rooms. The rooms looked nice. They were new, they looked surprisingly big, the facility itself is large, the outdoor space is very large, and there's a pool and a hot tub. They have a gym, a salon, and a golf simulator room. I didn't meet any of the staff there, just marketing people. The rooms were top of the line, and I thought they were very pretty. The dining area and activity room is ready. They're not scheduled to open 'til the end November."

"Belmont Village Los Gatos was absolutely incredible. The lady who gave us the tour was absolutely excellent. She went out of her way to answer questions. They were incredibly friendly. It was very clean. We were there when they were having lunch, and it didn't feel like it was a nursing home. It didn't smell. It seemed busy and friendly. People were treated with dignity. The staff members were wonderful. They showed examples of what they were serving for the day, and it was like you're in a five-star restaurant. The ambience was great. It didn't feel like a home. The lobby was nice, and it was coming up to Christmas, so they were putting up decorations. It felt like you're going into a hotel. There were lots of areas where people could sit and have privacy with their families. There was coffee and little snacks that anybody could go and get. They called them 'neighborhoods,' and we looked at a couple of the rooms, and they were so well laid out. The biggest disadvantage is the cost. Medicaid doesn't support any of these places, so when you run out of money and you sell your home, for ordinary people like my husband and me, we could never take advantage of a place like that. If you couldn't drive, there were ways to get there. They had bus service. They have activities and different clubs, too."

"My wife is at Palm Villas of Campbell. The staff in the memory care area is very good and very helpful. It's a very friendly spot. The atmosphere is good. They have a lot of help monitoring the residents. They have activities going on most of the time. They serve pretty good food, too. It's not a fancy place at all, but they cost less and they have an aviary, a large patio that's nice during the summer, and a large activity room that doubles as their dining area."

"I liked Atria Evergreen Valley very much. They didn't have any openings, so we weren't able to select them. It was a very nice facility. The impression was very positive in terms of the look of the facility and the dining area looked nice. All of that was clean and tidy. The caregivers seemed a little bit detached. The person that accommodated me was very well-informed and very prepared. I was a surprise to her but she accommodated me, took me around, asked what my needs were, and tried to address them. I was able to sample the food but it was at another time. I also looked at this place for my sister previously, so I had prior knowledge of the food."

"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 San Jose has been open for several months now. We've met some of the staff but not enough to evaluate them. We've met the chef and the manager and it's all positive. It's very nice and it is a little less expensive than the other place. We had lunch and we were unimpressed. I wouldn't give the lunch any more than a three. The presentation was not very good. The plating was less than what you would expect in a nice restaurant."

"My dad stayed at Sonnet Hill Senior Living. They assisted him with his medications. They coordinated with Kaiser to get him his own wheelchair and provided meals, they have activities there, but he didn't participate in those. They're doing his laundry and apartment cleaning. He got everything he needed, and he enjoyed the staff. They had a good variety of food."

"Villa Fontana takes in independent and assisted care occupants as well as memory care people. The ambience was acceptable, except the one room that they were trying to sell was too small. I got a full tour of the whole place. I had my father in there 20 years back and it has changed significantly. They overhauled the whole place and it was brought up to current expectations. There were people getting primed up to go have lunch when I was there."

"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. "

"We placed my mother in Belmont Village about six weeks ago. I think it is a first class facility. The staff seems very attentive and they knew my mom's name immediately within the first few days; every staff member knew my mom as a new resident. Their facilities are well-maintained and neat, and they have an abundance of activities for the residents. Her apartment was especially painted and has new carpeting, and it is neat. The bathroom facility is large and accommodates her needs, and the dining facility is equally clean, and well-kept up with good furnishings, and the food is good. They have activity levels for different levels of care including Alzheimer's. They have a circle of friends' activities, which is for people with early stages of dementia, so that they can engage them in groups. They have social activities of course, and these are the standard activities you'd find in a retirement home or assisted living facility. They have entertainment that comes in, and today they are having a luau -- this afternoon -- for them. "

"The Parkview RCH#2 is very nice, and the people are very nice. It's assisted living, and my wife moved there. She is currently out again because she's hospitalized. They provide activities like taking them out a little bit. Most of the elderlies are in wheelchairs, so they put them out in the backyard and do some light exercise or things like that. They make them comfortable. The residents get 3 meals a day. If they have a favorite food, they can ask for their favorite food."

"My aunt is at Crescent Oaks Memory Care. It's a nice place. I like everything about them. Their program director is really good because she's always got parties going on and she decorates everything for them. They have such a good time with all the activities. It's clean. Everybody seems to care. And most importantly, my aunt says that she's happy there and everybody's nice to her. When we had her in another place, she hated it there. But at this place, she has never asked to leave and she says she's happy there. They have a lot of activities and a lot of parties for every occasion. They have a once-a-month big birthday bash. They have people that come in and play piano or they have a karaoke singer that comes in and sings. Yesterday they had a big Christmas dinner, and they had a harp player playing Christmas music. The program director has everything decorated beautifully. There's a beautiful tree that the guests got to help decorate. It's just so nice there. I haven't eaten there, but my aunt eats everything off her plate, and she's a picky eater. It's all really good. I haven't found anything to complain about. The only thing I'm sorry about is the people that have to be there regardless. That's the only thing that saddens me when I go there. Everything else is just great. They're well taken care of, and so I think when something is like that, it's worth every penny."
