I toured this newer, spotless community and was very impressed by the professional, friendly staff, excellent chef-driven meals, active programs, and strong memory-care expertise. The building, grounds, dining room and amenities (theater, patio, gym, garden) are beautiful and well-maintained, and move-in support, housekeeping/linen service and communication were organized and attentive. Downsides for us: apartments are generally small, two-bedrooms are limited, some one-bed units lack kitchens or privacy (shared rooms), and the cost is high. Overall I felt families would get excellent care, but confirm memory-care staffing and pricing before deciding.
Loma Clara Senior Living sits in Morgan Hill, California, with views of mountains and a warm Mediterranean climate, and the place is spread over two stories and covers 62,000 square feet in Craftsman-style architecture, which makes it look quite pleasant from the outside. The community offers several housing choices including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments, and options for shared or private rooms, all with kitchenettes, high ceilings, and spacious bathrooms so residents feel comfortable and have enough space to move around. People can choose independent living, assisted living services for those who need some help with daily tasks but do not need full nursing care, or memory care, which is called Generations Memory Care, to help people dealing with memory loss or dementia, and they have special safety features to help prevent wandering and reduce confusion.
The place provides a range of help and care, with a caring staff on site who have a reputation for being friendly, patient, and helpful, all aiming to help everyone live as independently as possible while staying safe. They offer respite care, so if somebody only needs a short stay or some relief while regular caregivers take a break, those needs can be met as well. Activities take place every day to keep folks busy and engaged, and people will find a calendar filled with events that focus on social, physical, mental, and emotional wellness. There's the usual dining with nutritious food, and family can join for meals on special occasions, which many residents seem to appreciate. The amenities include a fitness center, a spa facility, a cozy theater room, fountains and patios with good views for sitting outside, and the campus welcomes pets, which is comforting for those who like animals. Residents have transportation services available when they need to get out and about.
The staff always try to help residents stay as independent as possible, but with the right support if and when it's needed, and family involvement is welcome. Most people you meet on campus tend to be friendly and kind, which fosters a pleasant and supportive community for seniors.
