Putting someone you love in a care facility can be a scary thing, but not to worry with Mina's. This is a family home that is somehow familiar. I can't say enough. Our family is forever grateful for everything you do and did.

My family was looking for a place that could provide my dad with loving care and really give him…read morethe individual support he needed and deserved(he had Parkinson's and dementia). After meeting Mina and her caregivers, we knew we found our place. They not only provided wonderful care but went the extra mile to provide healthy meals and blend them when he could no longer chew well. As time went by, Mina's care team also cared for my father-in-law and most recently my mother-in-law(late stage Alzheimers). We always felt welcome when we visited, and Mina was excellent about reaching out if there was any change in condition or if our family member needed anything special. She would even text fun pictures. Having to place a family member is one of the most heartbreaking experiences, but Mina and her team make the transition much easier. I would absolutely recommend her.

You can see the genuine care and support the staff and people here provide. The fellow residents were also very welcoming and kind to my mom. My mom has some complex medical challenges and we were pleased that Ivy Park was comfortable and capable of helping our mom. It's amazing that it has been over two years since mom has lived here and because of the support, care, activities and people she is actually doing better now physically and mentally. She is truly happy and living a full life. Environment and the right people are everything. So grateful for the staff and people here that provide the 24/7 care for my mom that she needs. We love visiting her and seeing her enjoy time with friends. Thank you Ivy Park!

(Watermark Almaden) I would like to comment on my journey living at this Assisted-Living for over a…read moreyear. An experience that was a nightmare- ongoing power failures for four months - yes - I have the flashlights, the blanket, battery operated mini lamps issued to the residents during this time / apologetic news letters weekly (waiting on parts) for generator. After a formal complaint was made, a Transformer finally arrived on premises. Twice pipes broke in the ceiling of my bathroom, flooding my bath and kitchen area. Rent was raised twice in one year. Covid rapidly spread throughout the building (was hospitalized for 4 days). Ventilation is very bad as they do not routinely change filters in Apts or Common area. When I ask to have it changed (as my Apt floor was showing evidence of black spots) - Maintenance states " only if you need it". I might add this is rental property (saving money). The food is the worst- Vendor is US foods. NO stable management. Lastly, I advise anyone interested in this Community to do your own extensive research on the internet (You will be surprised). The microwave oven never worked in my Apt. Kept tripping the breaker. Reported the problem one month after moving in - never resolved ! Finally approx 4 months upon leaving they said the microwave was too big; but never offered to replace it. I also would like to mention the elevators are often inoperable/they have four floors. I encourage everyone to be extremely cautious before putting your love one in these Communities as it is very costly/ stressful to re- locate .

One of the most difficult things to do is to choose a new home that will address all of your needs…read morewhen the time comes that you need more help. My sisters, my mom and I toured most of the facilities in San Jose and Morgan Hill when we were choosing a new place for mom to call home. We finally chose the Carlton because the facilities and rooms were lovely but most importantly because the people who work there were warm and loving. Mom lived at the Carlton for nine years. At the time she moved in, mom was active and able to participate in the activities, trips, and social life. Then as time went on and she needed more care, Carlton was there to help us navigate what she needed and design her accommodations to fit her needs. I can not emphasize how wonderful they were in custom crafting a plan to meet her needs and in implementing that plan with caring and kind individuals. If I were making this choice again, I would choose Carlton in a heartbeat. This stage of life is difficult and having people who are competent and care makes it manageable.

My mom enjoys socializing and talking with the other visitors and the other residents that live there. She feels safe at HMC. My mom has mild dementia, but she needs 24-hour care. I moved her from another facility that promised the world but did not deliver. I like the caregivers at HMC they have been very kind. They work hard to provide good care for my mom. They also make sure that she is given her medications. I know it is difficult to see a loved one declining. It is reassuring to know that mom is at HMC. My mom's health has improved since she has lived at HMC. I see my mom frequently; today I am taking her out to lunch. I don't know why, but this facility is no longer in operation. It was a good place for my mom. It closed about a year after my mom died in 2012. . I would recommend that you try to find other board and care facility, they are less expensive then the big retirement facilities and usually offer more individual care. Good luck on finding a place for a loved one.

I have witnessed employees not wearing their nighttime pagers so that residents were ignored during the night, residents being given medication while lying down posing a choking hazard, residents handled roughly resulting in licensing and the police being called, dirty tables, walls, rooms and carpets. Many families have left due to their loved ones being neglected. Check online for all the lawsuits against this corporation as there have been many ranging from abuse, negligence, and injuries. The staff in memory care is very young, inexperienced, uneducated and lacking common sense. Med techs don't know common industry terms or practices. Turnover is frequent and disruptive. The building may be nice looking but residents in both Assisted Living and Memory Care are unhappy. Please don't be fooled by outward appearances, check with state licensing for complaints and violations. If you have any choice at all, please place your loved one somewhere else.

We looked around for a senior living center and found the Atria in the Evergreen area of San Jose. My mom is Japanese,95 years old , very independent and very set in her ways. We had toured a couple other facilities and felt that the Atria was a great fit for my mom. The facility is near us , very well kept, and has a group of Japanese seniors living there that my mom really likes. The staff is excellent , knows my mom by name and takes very good care of her. The initial staff that we met JR, Jen, Rachelle, and Shay are exceptional. They've bent over backwards to make my wife and I and my mom feel welcome and assured us that she will be taken care of. I would recommend the Atria to my family as well as my friends.

We had an outstanding experience with Family Matters, and I wanted to share this review because…read morethis is what exemplary care should look like. My 75-year-old mother underwent necessary brain surgery three weeks ago. Three days before surgery, she had a ground-level fall, tore her rotator cuff, and sustained a small fracture. Because the surgery could not be deferred, she proceeded as planned but required significant care at home afterward. She had been fully independent, and although she lives with my father, the caregiving needs were beyond his comfort level. I was able to help for a few days after her discharge, but it was clear they would need additional support for her to remain safely at home. The hospital nurses were wonderful, but my mom needed assistance even with basic tasks like repositioning in bed and using the restroom, as her left arm was immobilized. Our hospital care coordinator connected us with Amy, the client care manager for Family Matters, who met us at home right away. She performed a thorough evaluation and took the time to understand my parents' needs and preferences. Almost immediately, we were connected with KJ, the Director of Operations, who coordinated the caregiving schedule. She ensured an excellent match with caregivers and that coverage was consistent and reliable. Communication was seamless--KJ was always responsive and proactive with updates, and we never felt out of touch. My mom especially wanted to recognize her primary daytime caregiver, Maria. Maria was attentive, warm, and incredibly experienced, with over 20 years in caregiving. She is also an excellent cook and was especially skilled in helping my mom with more vulnerable tasks like showering. The other caregivers who supported nights and weekends were also wonderful. The team clearly put thought and care into matching personalities and backgrounds, which made a meaningful difference. Over the following weeks, my mom gradually regained her independence, and we were able to scale back care smoothly. The team made adjustments easy and seamless. We would absolutely use Family Matters again. This was our first experience with a caregiving service, and we were initially apprehensive, but they made the entire process easy, supportive, and reassuring. We would use them again in a heartbeat.

Even more challenging is finding caregivers you can truly trust during such a vulnerable stage of life. A very special thank you to Family Matters, and my father's caregiver, Sade. He is under hospice care with advanced dementia, and can barely speak. Sade is consistently patient, and kind, and gives me complete peace of mind whenever she's caring for him. Most importantly, she engages with him and makes him feel seen. This is in sharp contrast to other caregivers we've experienced who are often on their phones and treat him as if he's invisible. I'm also especially grateful for KJ who manages the caregivers and scheduling. While other agencies haven't taken the time to meet my father or me in person, KJ made it a priority to get hands-on training to fully understand my father's caregiving needs. Because of this, she's been able to step in to provide training and support which is a huge godsend given my limited bandwidth. She even proactively revised the caregiving shift note template to make it clearer and more helpful for our caregiving team. Family Matters has truly exceeded our expectations because they understand the real meaning of caregiving. On top of that, their participation in the Veterans Assistance Program, which requires stricter qualifications provides an added layer of confidence and experience.
