Pronto Care Home sits in San Jose, California, and has a small, quiet feel with only six assisted living units and six licensed beds, making it one of those Board and Care Homes people sometimes call Adult Foster Homes or Assisted Living Homes depending on where you're from. They let residents have cats and dogs, so pets are welcome, and the community spaces are set up for easy living, with all appliances in the apartments, simple studio room layouts, and plenty of safe design features, especially for folks with needs like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The caregivers speak English and help out with things like bathing, grooming, medicine, feeding, transfers, and even make sure there are simple services like laundry, dry cleaning, and regular housekeeping, so people don't have to worry about those little chores. Residents get three meals a day, plus snacks, and the kitchen can work around allergies or diets like diabetes, with family-style dining in a dedicated dining room and the option to eat whenever you're hungry.
There's free transportation for doctor's appointments or errands, move-in help, birthday parties, and group events most days, from movie nights to outings in the community or walks outside on landscaped trails and garden paths. The home isn't far-about 5.9 miles-from Campbell, and the apartments come in one-bedroom or studio-style layouts, each with an emergency button and telephone in the room for safety and communication, as well as security in common areas. Pronto Care Home's licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, license #435201251, and they offer long-term care focused on keeping residents as independent as possible with support nearby, which means staff are on hand 24 hours to assist but don't hover. They help with health checks, monthly visits from a physician, regular monitoring, and medication management, and there's a nurse on staff to look out for anyone with more complex needs.
Folks who like to stay busy will find daily activities, exercise classes, crafts, game nights, and excursions, and for calm moments, there's a big library to read in and outdoor spots to relax. The place has beauty shop visits, all kinds of community-sponsored activities, and a social model of care that lets people decide how involved they want to be. People who move in get help settling, and the staff handle most chores so seniors and families can have some peace of mind. The home doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and it stays pretty small, so everyone gets to know each other, and the place feels more like a private household than a big facility.
