Known as “The Orchard City” for its fruit growers and cannery, Campbell is where some say the fruit cocktail was invented. Once a small farming community, it has progressed slowly but surely and is now becoming a place for those looking for something out of the ordinary.

With its proximity to San Jose and a population of just 38,408, assisted living in Campbell provides seniors with the charm of a small town but also the amenities of a big city.
