    Welcoming staff, updated building, comfortable

    I moved here from nearby and immediately felt safe and cared for - staff like Esther, Shelby, AM, Veronica and night managers Kristie and Tom always greet me with smiles and are genuinely helpful. The building has been freshly updated (new kitchen appliances, bathrooms, flooring, windows, paint, laundry, new common-area furniture, salon, workout and activity rooms, library and lounge) and the grounds are clean and pleasant with outdoor seating. Rates are reasonable for the amenities and responsive administration makes living here easy, though there have been some recent rate increases. I'm grateful for the years here, friendly neighbors, plenty of activities and a five-star feeling.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with the majority of comments emphasizing recent capital improvements, a caring and responsive staff, and good value for money. Reviewers repeatedly highlight a wave of renovations — including new kitchen appliances, updated bathrooms, new flooring and carpeting, new windows, fresh paint, a renovated lobby with a new front desk, and upgraded common area furniture — that have refreshed the facility’s appearance and resident experience. Several new or improved on-site amenities are repeatedly mentioned, such as a new laundry room, beauty salon, workout room, activity room, library, and lounge, which contribute to a fuller range of daily conveniences for residents. Grounds and gardens are routinely described as well maintained and pleasant, with outdoor seating that residents appreciate.

    Care quality and staff interactions are standout themes. Multiple reviews praise staff for being caring, friendly, and helpful; residents and visitors mention that staff greet people with smiles and provide attentive service. Named employees (Esther, Shelby, AM, Veronica) receive individual commendations, and night managers Kristie and Tom are singled out positively as well. The executive director and administration are described as responsive, and management is characterized as approachable. Long-term residents emphasize feeling safe, cared for, and grateful for the years spent there, suggesting that staff consistency and relationship-building are strengths.

    Facilities and living environment combine an older building shell with substantial modernization. Several reviewers note that although the complex is older, it has been freshly updated — with new carpet, paint, and other refurbishments making interiors feel clean and renewed. The dining room has seen updates to furniture and even silverware, indicating attention to the resident dining experience at a practical level. Activity offerings and common spaces are highlighted as providing social opportunities and a chance to make new friends, and many reviewers describe neighbors and the social environment as friendly and welcoming. Cleanliness and upkeep are recurring positives.

    Value, rates, and financial observations form a nuanced pattern. Most reviewers describe the community as affordable and reasonable for budget-conscious seniors, calling out efficiency apartments as economical living options. At the same time, several reviews mention recent rate increases, which is the most frequently cited concern; this suggests that while the facility remains positioned as affordable, cost sensitivity among residents is an ongoing issue. The characterization of the experience as budget-conscious or basic also appears — not as a complaint about neglect, but as an acknowledgement that the community prioritizes practical, well-maintained amenities over luxury features.

    Location and accessibility are additional strengths. Residents point to convenient freeway access and being within walking distance of shopping, making errands and outings manageable. On-site resources and activities further reduce the need to travel frequently. Visitor impressions are likewise positive, noting friendly interactions and an overall home-like feeling; several reviewers sum up their experience simply as loving the community and considering it home.

    In summary, Corinthian House Residence is portrayed as a well-maintained, recently refreshed, and staff-oriented community that delivers solid value for budget-conscious seniors. The most notable strengths are the comprehensive renovations and amenity upgrades, the consistent and caring staff (with multiple individuals named for praise), a clean and attractive campus, and an active, friendly social environment. The primary concerns are limited and specific: the property is an older building despite the updates, and residents have reported recent rate increases, which bear watching for prospective residents on fixed incomes. Overall, the reviews suggest a supportive, affordable, and improved living environment that many current residents happily recommend.

    About Corinthian House Residence

    Corinthian House Residence sits in the Central Campbell neighborhood of Campbell, CA, and stands less than 10 miles from San Jose, right among the redwood trees, and you'll find that it's an affordable senior community for people aged 62 or older, so folks live in studio or one-bedroom apartments that have well-designed floorplans, electric heat, and wall air conditioning, plus private patios that look out on gardens and walking areas, and dogs and cats are allowed, but not large ones, so there's a bit of pet companionship too. The apartments come with useful appliances such as garbage disposal, a microwave, an oven, a refrigerator, and some have easy-to-clean laminate floors while others are carpeted, and a few have architectural changes that make it easier for people who use wheelchairs. The building has an elevator and laundry rooms, giving people easier ways to get around and keep up with daily needs, and there's a security system with controlled access. You get the basics like water, garbage, and sewer, included in the rent, and there's an online portal so you can manage rent payments and maintenance requests without too much fuss, while Spanish-speaking staff are on hand for those who need them, and the place runs as a non-profit 501(c)3, offering low-income housing through LIHTC, so if you meet the income guidelines, you might qualify.

    Residents have several options for keeping busy, as Corinthian House offers arts and crafts, gardening classes, a community library with a computer learning center, and a game room for puzzles or canasta, and you can often find coffee hours, bingo, reading sessions, and even Bible study if you like that sort of thing, or they'll sometimes arrange trips out on the minibus to local stores and churches. If you enjoy the outdoors, you might find yourself chatting in one of the landscaped courtyards, walking the garden paths, or spending time in the rose garden, and in the evenings there's a required dinner service on weekdays, so people get together for meals, and you'll see neighbors in the communal lounge watching movies on the big TV or enjoying music and singing programs, which makes things feel friendly. Folks can keep up their health since there's a fitness center and regular exercise programs, plus help with personal needs in the beauty parlor and barber shop right on-site.

    Corinthian House has services to support people who want independent living, retirement living, Alzheimer's or memory care, assisted living, or continuing care, and the staff are there at all hours, so there's always someone around if you need them. For safety, every apartment's got pull cords for emergencies, and there's extra help for residents with mobility challenges, since a number of units have been changed to accommodate wheelchairs and there's always an elevator working. The atmosphere's described as cordial, with plenty of activities for meeting others and making friends, and the facility supports people from all backgrounds and incomes, with legal protections for LGBTQ residents and those with different types of income, so it's a welcoming place. Seniors 62 and over can find a balance of independence, dignity, and possible assistance at Corinthian House Residence, and while there's always more you might want in life, what's here covers a good number of the basics and a little bit more, offering both comfort and a sense of security for folks as they go about their days.
