Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Los Altos may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Los Altos care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Los Altos, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Rancho, Central Los Altos and Old Los Altos.
You may also consider nearby communities such as San Jose, Fremont or Loyola.

Residential Care Home
This home is beautiful and immaculately clean. The caregivers [names removed] have a calling to provide care straight from the heart. This isn’t just a job. My father was treated like family with love, compassion, and skill. I only regret we didn’t find this facility many years earlier.
We have been very pleased with Millbrae Paradise. We chose this facility because the lady who runs the place speaks the same language my mothers does. The room sizes here are huge, she has 2 sets of drawers, a big screen tv, and a bed. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking. It has been a great fit for her needs.
I am very happy with the care that my mom is getting here. The community is nice and clean. We have been happy with the staff. The meals are fresh every day. My mom is offered activities. We recommend this community for excellent care and value for families

The average cost of senior living in Los Altos is 3,329 per month. Cheaper nearby regions include Campbell, CA with an average of 3,252 per month.
Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:

In Los Altos, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home is about $3,500 in the state of California. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
Los Altos is an affluent neighborhood located in the heart of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. The total household expenses associated with living in Los Altos are rated 50 points above the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated well above the average.
