    About St. Therese Elderly Care Facility

    St. Therese Elderly Care Facility sits in a quiet San Jose neighborhood and focuses on providing specialized elderly care in a home-like setting, so residents get the help they need whether they want to live on their own, need help every day, or need more medical care like in a skilled nursing home, and with only six licensed beds, staff can give each person more attention, which really helps seniors who need close supervision or support with memory issues like Alzheimer's and dementia, because the facility offers 24-hour supervision, help with daily activities like bathing and dressing, medication management, and housekeeping, plus meals made for special diets and group social activities like movie nights and community events, which gives people a good balance of support and independence. The facility works as a small board and care home, meaning residents live in a cozy space, choosing either private or semi-private rooms, and they can enjoy shared amenities such as a dining room, garden, furnished rooms, walking paths, and emergency alert systems, which all help keep residents safe and comfortable, and with rehabilitation and support for those recovering from illness or injury, plus respite and adult day care for families that need a break, the staff tries to adapt care for every person. St. Therese also connects residents to services like skilled nursing, hospice, and home care if health needs change, and some seniors like the simplicity of independent living for maintenance-free comfort and social life, while others take part in continuing care retirement community setups that let them stay in the same place even if their needs change over time. The facility can't accept Medicare unless there's a special certification, and with a California license number 435202787, this care home remains a local choice for Santa Clara County families seeking long-term, non-acute care in a supportive, familiar environment, which means many find some peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe and looked after.

    No, St. Therese Elderly Care Facility 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.
