Review

When it comes to finding the right care facility for loved ones with Alzheimer's, San Jose Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center and Arbor Terrace San Jose are two notable options. However, each facility has its pros and cons that should be taken into consideration.

San Jose Gardens was not the ideal fit for one reviewer's husband. The lack of staffing and inadequate training among the staff led to concerns about their ability to care for residents properly. Unfortunately, this resulted in neglectful behavior, such as failing to notify family members when incidents occurred. Additionally, the layout of the facility was less appealing compared to others with longer hallways that might cause inconvenience or confusion for residents. Although the director was described as nice, her health problems raised concerns about continuity of care in her absence.

Despite these drawbacks, there were some positive aspects of San Jose Gardens that stood out. The small size of the facility allowed for a more intimate and personal atmosphere. It also appeared clean and well-maintained, with polite staff members who provided good overall care. Moreover, during these uncertain times with COVID-19, their cautious approach in protecting residents from the virus can be seen as a positive aspect.

On the other hand, Arbor Terrace San Jose received high praise from a reviewer whose father is currently residing there. The care provided at this facility was described as exceptional, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who take time to understand each resident's unique needs and disabilities. Furthermore, residents are engaged in various activities tailored to their interests and capabilities. Whether it be sing-a-longs or bus rides, efforts are made to keep them active and stimulated.

The food at Arbor Terrace San Jose received mixed reviews but was generally considered fairly good despite not being exactly like home-cooked meals. Regular cleaning services ensure that rooms are well-maintained while amenities within the facility are also highly regarded.

Although Arbor Terrace San Jose is on the pricier side, it offers excellent service and peace of mind. The staff demonstrates a genuine care for the well-being of residents, which is an invaluable quality when considering memory care facilities.

In summary, both San Jose Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center and Arbor Terrace San Jose have their unique attributes. San Jose Gardens may not have provided the best experience due to staffing issues, but its small size, cleanliness, and cautious approach during the pandemic are commendable. On the other hand, Arbor Terrace San Jose stands out for its exceptional care, engaging activities, and a focus solely on memory care. While it may come with a higher price tag, the dedication and compassion demonstrated by the staff make it a worthwhile consideration for families in need of quality Alzheimer's care.
