Town Park Towers

Town Park Towers is a secure mid-rise community in downtown San Jose for adults aged 62 and older, and the building has studios, alcoves, and one-bedroom apartments, each with private kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies, so you get your own space and some fresh air whenever you like. The community focuses on healthy aging by letting residents take part in things that give them purpose and enjoyment, from the community garden to the fitness and dance classes all the way to ping-pong tables and a pool, and they've even got regular events like group outings, monthly meetings, rooftop barbecues, and field trips to sports or cultural events. Every resident has controlled access for safety, easy elevator use, and the assurance of 24-hour on-site security, and there are well-kept common areas, a community room, business center, lounge, and library, as well as a computer room for those wanting to keep in touch or learn new things. There's a Service Coordinator who helps with resources, referrals, and questions about Medicare or local benefits, plus the Brown Bag program from Second Harvest Food Bank helps with weekly free groceries. Meals are offered in an on-site dining room with outdoor patio, so you don't have to cook every meal yourself, but you still have a refrigerator and full kitchen in your apartment if you want to. There are laundry services and facilities, building-wide wireless internet, satellite TV, secure bike storage, and electric heating. The place is managed by EAH Housing, and you'll likely notice that the staff is described as friendly, approachable, and quick to respond to people's needs, which is something many find important as they get older. They host an annual health fair and offer programs like Art With Elders to help keep residents active and socially connected, and the residents come from many different backgrounds, so you'll probably hear more than one language in the hallway. Town Park Towers is a Life Plan Community and is a member of the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, and Sequoia Living plays a role in the services offered here. Seniors can get assisted living or independent living, subsidized housing, and memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and everything is aimed at helping people live with dignity, activity, and comfort in their later years.
