Review of Empress Care Center
What I really like about the building is it is super clean, no smell of a nursing home. The staff seem to have worked there for a very long time and the charge nurses always seem nice and friendly.
The $12,547 a month seniors in San Jose typically spend for a semiprivate room in a nursing home makes nursing home care in the majority of the country seem quite affordable. While the cost in nearby San Francisco is only $76 less than in San Jose, both cities’ average monthly spending for nursing home care is more than 34% above the state’s median cost of $9,247. At $9,201 a month, Santa Cruz is the least expensive among nearby cities. In Merced and Modesto, seniors generally spend $3,148 and $1,746 less per month, respectively.

The median monthly cost for nursing home care in San Jose is $12,547 for a semiprivate room and $14,691 for private accommodations.
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
At an average of $1,907 a month for 44 hours of care a week, adult day health care is San Jose’s least expensive type of long-term care. The median costs for assisted living and in-home care are both less than half the average monthly cost for a nursing home semiprivate room. The premium for a private room in a nursing home averages $2,144 more per month than a semi-private room, which is more than the monthly cost of adult day health care and four months of home health care when calculated annually.

The following resources can help seniors meet their daily living needs and receive financial assistance for care services administered at home and in nursing facilities through Medicaid, Medicare and their respective programs.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Multipurpose Senior Services Program | (408) 350-3200 | Seniors eligible for nursing home placement can receive numerous in-home care and assistance services through the Multipurpose Senior Services Program. Services include respite care, adult day care, assistance with chores and personal hygiene and transportation services. To qualify, seniors must be at least 65 years of age and enrolled in Medi-Cal. The M.S.S.P. is managed by Sourcewise of Santa Clara, the county’s Area Agency on Aging. |
| Home and Community Based Alternatives Waiver | (800) 750-1444 | The H.C.B.A. waiver is another resource that enables Medi-Cal recipients to receive the care they need in their own home instead of a nursing facility. Care teams consisting of a nurse and social worker review a senior’s needs and coordinate with other state programs to provide housekeeping, meal preparation, assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming, escorts to medical appointments and other authorized services. Interested seniors should submit their applications to Libertana Home Health, the county’s H.C.B.A. Waiver agency. |
| Meals on Wheels | (408) 350-3200 | Homebound seniors who have neither the ability to cook for themselves nor anyone to cook for them can receive two home-delivered meals a day through Meals on Wheels. In addition to being low in salt and sugar, each meal is designed to provide one-third of seniors’ daily recommended nutrition requirements. The program is managed by Sourcewise A.A.A., and it’s open to seniors of all income levels. |
| Santa Clara County Social Services Agency | (408) 755-7600 | The Social Services Agency for Santa Clara County is the primary source for San Jose’s low-income seniors to access information about enrolling in the state’s Medicaid program. Seniors can receive free assistance applying for Medi-Cal, understanding the program’s waivers and learning about the financial assistance it can offer to cover the cost of nursing home and other types of long-term care. |
| Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program | (408) 350-3200 | H.I.C.A.P. offers San Jose’s older adults free Medicare counseling. The program’s state-registered volunteers assist residents in understanding their choices for Medicare and other health insurance plans, including long-term care insurance. The program is provided through the Sourcewise AAA, and it offers one-on-one appointments with seniors and their families. |
