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.
