Bon Homie Saratoga sits about 2.1 miles outside the town of Saratoga, California, south of El Paseo de Saratoga between Saratoga and Cox Avenues, in a quiet neighborhood where they keep a small community with only six residents at a time, so the caregiver-to-resident ratio stays at one caregiver for every three people, which means folks can get the attention they need and don't get lost in the shuffle the way they might in a bigger place. The home offers both private and semi-private rooms, each with its own bathroom, an emergency call system, and a telephone with a private number, and rooms come furnished with cable or satellite TV. The property has wheelchair accessible showers, walking paths, a garden, and both indoor and outdoor common spaces where neighbors can gather, plus a dining room for scheduled meals and social time, or just a quiet meal when wanted, with chef-prepared food and snacks, and they'll make meals to match special diets, even vegetarian or diabetic options.
Bon Homie Saratoga is licensed in California as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (license #435294235), and the staff has training to help with things like bathing, dressing, and transfers, including one-person, two-person, and mechanical lift assistance. They know how to handle medication management, diabetes care like insulin shots, high acuity care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory support, so as needs change, folks can stay in the same familiar place. The home has specialized services for Alzheimer's and dementia, with a secured memory care section and technology like bracelets that help prevent wandering and alert staff if someone tries to leave. Staff members are around 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, with shift caregivers and a night crew so someone's always ready to help, and a visiting nurse comes to support the team.
Residents living at Bon Homie Saratoga get daily housekeeping and laundry, transportation to local places and medical appointments for a fee, parking for those with a car, and a beautician on site. The home has a full calendar of social, educational, and entertainment events, from exercise groups and sing-a-longs to off-site outings and movie nights, with the aim to make friends and build a sense of belonging, but residents can always choose some quiet time if that's their preference. They welcome family and friends to visit, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere.
The staff encourage residents to stay active and help as much or as little as each person needs, making it easier for people to keep their independence for as long as possible. Care spans from light support to full assistance, including behavioral care for those struggling with issues like exit-seeking or aggression, as well as hospice when the time comes. The home's surroundings are kept neat and lovely, with well-groomed gardens and updated interiors that feel like a real home rather than an institution. Bon Homie Saratoga is part of the Bon Homie Group, which has a long history running care homes in the area, serving the elderly community for more than 30 years with other locations in San Jose, Almaden, Willow Glen, Cambrian, and Willowmont. The rent tends to be lower than at a large facility for similar levels of care, and language support is available in English.
All in all, Bon Homie Saratoga offers assisted living, personal care, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, respite, and board and care services in a small, home-like setting, with trained caregivers, full-time supervision, and an effort to help residents enjoy safety, comfort, and dignity as their needs change.
