"I'm so grateful that my family was able to find me such a wonderful new home. After losing my best friend/husband I became very depressed and started having some memory loss. It was a very scary time in my life. My family started to worry and was able to convince me to give Senior Living a try. I could not be more thankful that I agreed to it with the help of my adult children. The staff here at Atria has become part of my family. They welcomed me with open arms and have helped me acclimate quickly. They really understand you and are always willing to go above and beyond to help you with things such as Transportation, Meals and Activities. I didn't want to leave my home at first since I had been there for over 50 years. It was not an easy decision for someone my age. Soon after moving in I met two sweet ladies that also enjoy making jewelry as much as I do and we have become very good friends." - Sharon… Read more

"My mom lived at Oakmont San Jose for five years. After being at three other memory care facilities (Belmont Village Sunnyvale and Atria Foster City), OSJ was the perfect solution, and where she lived out her final days. My mom was accustomed to high-end hotels and a glamorous life, with excellent customer service and care. We found OSJ to be the perfect fit for high-cognitive seniors. It was so wonderful to visit her as she was engaged in activities or sitting on the beautiful patio having lunch. The current head nurse (Paula) and memory care director (Sherry) are the best in the biz and were the only team to regularly keep in touch with me as her only child and POA. While the leadership changed many times over the course of her residency, the care staff was consistent, and my mom felt safe in her lovely private room. OSJ also welcomed and collaborated well with my mom's physical therapists, external caregivers, end-of-life doulas, and hospice." - Amy… Read more
