We are so grateful for the care my mother receives at San Jose Gardens. The memory care staff are compassionate, responsive, and truly know her as an individual. The administrators keep us informed with regular updates, and communication has been excellent. We have also been very impressed with the hospice team, which works seamlessly with the staff to ensure my mother's needs are met promptly and compassionately. Knowing she is surrounded by people who genuinely care has given our family tremendous peace of mind. We highly recommend San Jose Gardens.

The overall patient care at San Jose Garden’s is exceptional. The nursing and caregiving team is attentive, compassionate, and truly treats every resident like family. They creat a personalized care plan for each resident focusing on mobility challenges and dementia while still encouraging independence. The medication management is also out standing. They have great communication between the family and providers in the facility. They also keep a close eye on nutrition.

I highly recommend San Jose Gardens and the incredible team led by Gwen. They have helped me assist many families whose loved ones are living with dementia and other cognitive impairments, and they consistently provide compassionate care, excellent communication, and a welcoming environment. One thing that always stands out is how well-maintained the community is. Although it is nearly 10 years old, it still feels fresh, modern, and beautifully cared for. The courtyard is especially lovely and provides a peaceful outdoor space for residents and their families to enjoy. The food is also excellent, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure residents feel supported and engaged. Gwen and her team are true professionals who genuinely care about the people they serve. If you are looking for a memory care community for a loved one, San Jose Gardens is absolutely worth considering.

I’ve worked with the staff at SJG for several years, and they continue to impress me. The building is clean, beautifully remodeled, and truly feels like a welcoming place. What stands out most is how sincerely the staff care for their residence. Communication is always clear and consistent, and I would trust them with my loved one anytime.

My mom was sent here after a traumatic accident that damaged her back and brain. San Jose Gardens Memory Care was very supportive, kind and caring. They helped her improve so she was able to return home with supportive care. Mom made friends that frequently checked in on her. Thank you so much!!! -Love Stacey Waters

San Jose Gardens is truly a safe place for those with memory care issues. They have excellent upper management in place with many years of experience. Both Gwen and Kathleen keep a sharp eye on any needs that come up with their residents. They are quick to respond to solve any issue, therefore, keeping the residents healthy and happy. You can feel confident placing your loved one in their care.

San Jose Gardens has the professional administrative staff and dedicated employees who did their best to take care of our mother. The building exhibits a modern, clean and well maintained appearance throughout, not just the lobby. It is much newer than most places we have visited and the mainteance staff corrects problems in short order. All the rooms are clean and well decorated for the occasions. There are plenty of programs in which the residents may participate every week– musical performances and art classes. We are grateful our mother spent her final years there under their care.

I highly recommend San Jose Gardens for your loved one. We moved my father there in April.. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the professionalism of the staff. The caregivers are attentive and genuinely care about the well-being of the residents. My father has adjusted well and is enjoying the various activities and social opportunities they offer, one of the nurses even plays chess (dad's favorite activity) with him :). The facility is clean, well-maintained, and the staff is easy to contact and responsive to our questions. We feel at ease knowing that my father is in a safe and nurturing environment.

San Jose Gardens was highly recommended to me for my mother as her dementia became more advanced. It's a scary time for your loved one with dementia to enter into a new living environment but SJG has such an intimate atmosphere and staff with smiling faces whose care makes a world of difference. I also see a lot of teamwork among the staff which helps to make the day run as smooth as possible for each resident. I know my mother is properly cared for at SJG and for that I am greatful!

My mom was placed in San Jose Gardens roughly two months ago. She had been at 2 other places prior, but I have never seen her as happy as she is now. The Staff and Care Givers are wonderful with her and I sleep well knowing that she is safe and well taken care of.
