Bon Homie I Dwyer sits at 1139 Dwyer Avenue in San Jose, California, right across from the Almaden Library and Community Center and near Parma Park, where residents and their families can enjoy outdoor walks and fresh air, and the house itself is known for its cozy, home-like feel, updated and clean inside, with well-groomed gardens out front and out back, where folks can sit on a patio when weather permits. The care home offers both private and semi-private rooms; each room has an emergency call system, a TV point, and a phone line with a private number available, and residents can add personal touches to their space to make it feel like home. Bon Homie I Dwyer keeps things small, usually less than ten seniors, and with a caregiver to resident ratio of one to three at full capacity, there's always staff to help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, transfer help, and medication reminders or help as needed, and caregivers look after folks round the clock, seven days a week, providing support for a range of needs, including moderate to full assistance and special support for residents living with dementia, Alzheimer's, wandering, combative behaviors, or sundowning. The facility offers residential care home services, sometimes called Adult Foster Homes or Personal Care Homes in other states, and has a long history in the area, having worked in caring for elders for more than thirty years as a family-run nonprofit.
Bon Homie I Dwyer is part of the Bon Homie Group, which runs several small care homes around San Jose and Saratoga but each one keeps a close-knit community feel, and at Dwyer, meals are cooked at home with an effort to provide fresh vegetables, fruits, and meals that are both tasty and nutritious for the residents, offering three meals a day plus snacks and drinks, and they'll accommodate special diets as needed. Residents can join in activities like arts and crafts, exercise classes, holiday parties, sing-a-longs, and spend time in activity rooms designed to encourage hobbies and social connections, and there's always some holiday or seasonal celebration to look forward to, giving structure to the days. The facility supports visits from family and friends, encourages time outdoors in the landscaped gardens and patios, and keeps a steady schedule of recreational and social activities while cleaning, laundry, and housekeeping are all taken care of by staff. Supervision is always present, whether someone only needs light help or faces heavier medical or memory challenges, and memory care is tailored for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's. The community keeps things simple and direct, focusing on consistent care, a friendly environment, and a small enough size where each resident can get to know others and feel seen every day. The license number for the location is 430708394.
