Rose Meadows Elder Care II sits at 804 Hamann Drive in San Jose, California, and holds a license from the State of California as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, with a limit of six residents at a time, so it keeps things personal and quiet there, and the staff gets to know everyone well, with six full-time caregivers and a full-time registered nurse who look after residents day and night, making sure everyone gets help with things like medication, bathing, dressing, and meals, so people don't feel lost in a crowd and always have someone nearby to ask for help if they need it. The home serves three home-cooked meals every day, offering menu variety, special diets for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and even vegetarian choices, and residents eat together in a comfortable dining room, which helps build a sense of community, while rooms come furnished, air-conditioned, and ready for telephone use, with private baths for comfort, and bathrooms set up for wheelchairs and safety. Pets are welcome, and both male and female residents can live here, with some private options for women who want extra privacy, and people who enjoy having animals around say it makes things feel more like home.
No one's allowed to smoke inside, so the air stays cleaner, and there's a no-smoking rule for both private and common indoor areas, which is good for health, while the home itself has peaceful garden areas, walking paths for exercise, and both indoor and outdoor spaces where people can sit, read, or meet with others for games, music, or conversation, and the reading rooms and game rooms give people a chance to stay active in mind and body without feeling cooped up. Rose Meadows Elder Care II runs social events, movie nights, and planned group outings, so there's always something on the schedule if residents want to join in, and the home provides transportation for shopping, medical appointments, errands, or faith-based activities, which helps residents get out and about without worrying about how to get there.
Beauty and grooming count for a lot, so there are on-site barber and salon services for haircuts and other needs, with appointments made for each resident as needed, and for health, there's a podiatrist and dentist available, regular nurse support, and a doctor on call in case anything comes up, which means people don't have to travel far for most of their care. Staff members provide help with things like showers, dressing, bathroom needs, grooming, and getting in and out of bed, which keeps things safe and comfortable if someone's not as steady as they used to be, and there's a focus on letting residents stay as independent as possible while having backup when it's needed, so people don't feel like they have to give up more than they want to. There's also support for memory care, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia, so those with memory problems can stay safe and engaged, and managed therapies-like physical, occupational, and speech therapy-help residents keep up their health and skills.
Hospice and respite care services bring in extra care, and 24-hour supervision covers higher needs like incontinence and non-ambulatory care, and caregivers can do things like insulin injections and two-person transfers if needed, making it possible for those with more complex medical needs to stay. The place also supports different languages, including Filipino, and organizes devotional services for those who want spiritual time. Laundry, housekeeping, and meal preparation are all handled, and there's both private and shared room options to suit different needs or budgets, with cable TV, internet, community newspapers, and emergency response systems all included. With a resident capacity limited to only six per home and a second similar facility nearby, Rose Meadows keeps a small, close community feel where residents and staff know each other by name, and families say it gives them peace of mind. The home doesn't accept Medicare unless it's certified, but the cost is usually lower than a full nursing home. People who want to live more independently but need support with daily living-like reminders about medicine, help washing, or safe showering-find the setup useful, and the variety of activities and therapies helps residents stay involved and active in ways that fit their interests and abilities. Overall, Rose Meadows Elder Care II offers a quiet, supportive space with a team focused on comfort, the basics of care, and dignity for its residents, and its 4.0 star rating from reviews shows most people have been happy there over the years.
