    Very clean, caring, but pricey

    I'm glad I found this place - very clean, warm and patient caregivers, helpful staff, freshly prepared meals, daily snacks, flexible visiting, and conveniently close. It's business-like but caring and is being remodeled, though rooms are shared (two to a room) and dementia care felt pricey after a recent jump from $3,500 to $3,800 with some supplies affecting value. Overall I receive very good care and support.

    About Real Elderly Care

    Novelle Senior Living, also called Live at Home, sits in San Jose, California and offers a small, home-like setting for up to six residents in each house, where folks can get the help and care they need without feeling lost in a big building, and the Live Home logo often marks the community. The licensed residential care elderly facility gives help with assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, hospice care, long-term skilled nursing, and respite care, as well as independent living for those who can manage on their own but don't want the hassle of upkeep. Staff stays on site around the clock and helps people bathe, dress, take their medicines, and manage health needs including diabetic diets and special meal plans, and there's always linens, hygiene items, and furnished rooms set up with beds, chairs, side tables, and storage.

    Home health care, certified by Medicare, and non-medical home care both get offered by trained caregivers, so folks who want to stay in their own homes can get help with cleaning, cooking, companionship, medication reminders, and getting to appointments. People living in the community find simple comforts like shared living spaces with televisions, a full dining room, a small library, outdoor garden, parking, and Wi-Fi, plus scheduled activities every day so residents don't have to sit alone or feel bored, and the staff gets known for being kind and helpful, bringing a good spirit to the place.

    Memory care stands out with secure spaces to cut down on wandering and programs to exercise the mind, so those with memory loss can stay as independent as possible, while mental wellness programs help support everyone's emotional health. Ancillary services like medication ordering and incontinence support are included, and when people need transportation or special diets, those are handled too. Meals get made with quality ingredients and aim to taste good as well as give folks the nutrients they need. Whether someone lives in the main community, in a shared neighborhood setting, or at home with visiting aides, Novelle Senior Living tries to keep things safe, comfortable, and full of options, without being overwhelming or too busy.

    No, Real Elderly Care does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
