Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in San Jose may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. San Jose 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 San Jose, 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 Rose Garden, Renaissance and Cambrian.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Sunnyvale, Santa Clara or Fruitdale.

San Jose, California, is car dependent. Seniors can expect to need a car for most errands. Transit options in San Jose include bus routes and train routes. Seniors may receive fare discounts. San Jose has somewhat limited biking infrastructure and is somewhat walkable.
San Jose offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several hospitals, including Kaiser Foundation Hospital-San Jose and the Regional Medical Center of San Jose.
San Jose offers a variety of entertainment options. The city’s rolling hills and year-round sunshine make it the perfect place for outdoor activities. Seniors can enjoy strolling the city’s gardens, golfing at the local courses, or visiting the Happy Hollow Park and Zoo.

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:
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.
In the state of California, the median monthly cost for a room in a care home is about $3,500. 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.
A Place for Mom’s local Senior Living Advisors can help find the right residential care home in San Jose for you or your loved one.
