Memory Care Communities in Los Gatos, CA

"We liked Oakmont of San Jose a lot. We were very impressed. It was very homey. The residents and the staff were just friendly. They knew everybody, so we really liked that situation. What we did not like about them is their independent living rooms felt very small because they were all studios. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. Whenever we went into a new room and we passed a staff member, they said, "Good morning" and "Welcome," so we really liked that part of it. The facility was very nice and very clean. It didn't feel sterile at all. We really liked it. It just didn't fit the needs of my mom for right now."

"I toured Brookdale San Jose. It has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I met half a dozen residents, and they have very positive feelings about Brookdale. What I especially liked was that utilities included water, electricity, trash, and two meals a day. There is a parking fee of $50, which is okay since I still drive, and they would assist in moving into Brookdale. They have an exercise and workout room, a nice library, and quiet reading areas. If I have guests staying overnight, they have arrangements for $150 a night for out-of-town guests. So, that's nice too."

"Belmont Village San Jose was a beautiful place. I would rate it 100% all the way around, but it was very expensive. The staff was wonderful and the food was wonderful. They served salmon. The common spaces were nice. I just could not afford that place."

"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."

"My wife has moved into Carlton Senior Living San Jose. What I like best is its proximity to our home, so I can go visit her frequently without too much trouble. I have tried some of the food and it's quite good. There are plenty of activities she can participate in while she's there. It looks to be very well maintained inside and out. Everybody I have encountered there has been very pleasant and professional. They have a fairly large collection of books available to residents. Plus, they have movie nights and some other activities. We only looked at a studio because I was looking for the least costly option, but it is a reasonable space for one person to live in. They have a garden and an outdoor patio."

"My mother-in-law will be moving into Belmont Village Sunnyvale. Tim, the sales guy, was very detailed. He asked a lot of questions as to what my mother-in-law's needs were. And I felt that because he was so detailed in trying to understand what her needs were, her needs would be met much better. They had a chef, so their menu was so ample and there was such a variety of food. I went into the dining hall, and I saw that there were a lot of seniors interacting with each other at the tables. They all looked happy and they were eating well. The quality of the food looked very good. They said we could join my mother-in-law any time, and it was $10 a meal for us. It was just so welcoming and warm there."

"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."

"My wife moved to Atria Sunnyvale. The facility was nice and clean, and everything was well organized. The rooms are fine. I was impressed with the gentleman that gave me the tour. He was very thorough in explaining everything about how their program worked, how they did things, and so forth. So he took the time to show me around."

"I toured The Forum at Rancho San Antonio. It's a clean facility with many amenities that I would be interested in. The staff was very knowledgeable. She knew what she was talking about, and I was impressed with her. It would be more what I was looking for in an independent living facility."

"My Parents room is spacious clean and very comfortable. All of the staff that I have come in contact with are polite, caring and professional. The common areas of the facility are very inviting and nicely arranged, there are plenty of places to sit, relax and converse with others. The food is very good and family members can join their kin in the dining room at a very small extra charge. We are very pleased our parents are here."

"My wife has moved into Oakmont of Silver Creek. It is very presentable. The landscaping is very well done, and it's relaxing when you walk in. The front lobby is immaculate. The lady at the front desk always acknowledges me, and they greet you, and that's very good. When we first walked in for the first time, they had a big sign that said, 'Welcome,' and that was very impressive. The management is very good. They have lots of meetings with the residents to get their input. They are constantly trying to get information and input from the residents, which I think is a very, very good process that they use. The rooms are the right size. They're not too big, they're not too little. My wife has a studio. We were worried because she had to have a hospital bed in there, but there's plenty of room for the hospital bed. It's very spacious and clean. It is easy to get in and out if you're in a wheelchair. The showers are nice. They have a very small lift to get in. The hallways are very spacious, enough for two wheelchairs to pass. They have four or five elevators, and those are very nice and spacious, too. You could get five or six people there. The dining room is just unbelievable. The meals they cook are so good. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have menus, and if you want to go off the menu, they have things like hamburgers, sandwiches, and stuff like that. If you don't feel like eating a full meal, that's there as well. If you're sick, they'll send it up to your room. The people who work there are unbelievable. They remember what their preferences are, like whether they drink coffee or tea or whatever. The caretakers are very, very good. They're very caring people. My wife gets her hair done. The caretaker will braid it and put it together, so she goes down for breakfast, and she looks different each day. It's the extra time that they do for them. It's a wonderful thing. They're so loving. Every time I walk into the community, everybody knows my name. It's remarkable. It's very welcoming and very thoughtful. The med techs are very good. They have bingo, poker, and flower arrangements. All the flower arrangements in the dining room have been done by the residents who are taking the flower arrangement class."
