Category: Senior Living Communities

Choosing a senior living community is one of the biggest decisions a family will make, and in my experience it’s almost always tied to a housing decision too. I’ve spent more than 23 years helping older adults and their families in Silicon Valley figure out what comes next, and these guides come from walking through each community in person. You’ll find my tours and notes on assisted living, memory care, independent living and continuing care (Life Plan) communities across San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale and the greater Bay Area, including Atria Willow Glen, The Terraces of Los Gatos, The Forum at Rancho San Antonio and Belmont Village Sunnyvale. I cover what each place actually offers, how the contracts and buy-ins work, what care costs looked like when I checked, and the questions I’d ask before signing anything. If you’re weighing a move for yourself or a parent and wondering how selling the family home fits into the picture, that’s exactly the kind of planning I help with every day.
