Continuing Care Community in San Jose, California

Craig

Everybody was very friendly, very nice, and informative. The place was bright and cheery. I have no complaints about it at all. The person during the tour was very business-like and friendly. They had movie nights, bingo, and music. The layout seemed like a big hotel, and more than a home.

It was fairly nice, but the room was a little bit small. It was a one-bedroom with not much closet space and the only thing in the kitchen was a microwave. It's clean and they've got nice people there. They have a bus that will take you to the food store once a week, doctors' appointments, and to San Francisco. They had a TV room, there were gentlemen playing cards, and a beauty parlor. It was in a nice area with nice gardens on the outside. The staff was very nice, and the residents seemed happy and friendly.

Rose Garden Court was a good place. It was roomy inside. It looked dated as far as the interior but it was clean. The price is reasonable compared to other places, so it would have been fine. It looked like they had adequate number of staff. There was a lot going on, too. They had a common area, a dining area, and a small outdoor area.

Brookdale San Jose was very nice. I liked it. It had a huge lobby and you can see the dining room. Maybe it could use a little updating, but it was clean and nice. The person who accommodated me during the tour was great. The dining room looked very nice, and they also had a computer area.

My mom started in independent living at Villa Fontana Retirement Community and moved to their memory care. They're an amazing facility and pretty competitively priced. The owners are in healthcare prior to doing this so their focus is on nutrition and their meals are nutritious and delicious. They have exercise classes, bingo, and for the independent people they'll have the bus take them to museums and other places. There's also a dance studio with young girls who come over and dance, and the residents love that. They also have other outside people come in and play the piano. They have lots of choices for things to do. They’re very good about everything and the staff is excellent and outstanding. The place is very nice and clean, the layout is very nice, and easy to get around, and it smells good.
