Harvy's Home Care

Harvy's Home Care sits in a quiet neighborhood near the foothills in South San Jose's Santa Teresa area, close to Kaiser Santa Teresa Hospital and the Santa Teresa public library, and the place has a cozy feel with its well-kept gardens, a covered patio overlooking the hills, and a bright country kitchen. Folks will find both private and semiprivate bedrooms with wheelchair accessible showers and baths, so moving around's easier for everyone, and meals come prepared daily with kosher and vegetarian options available, so there's always something to suit different needs. The staff's trained and friendly, always on hand to help with bathing, getting dressed, grooming, medication, or just gentle reminders, and there's a nurse on site if someone needs extra care, plus therapists and other specialists make regular visits. There are memory care services for people living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, with a secure area and technology like bracelets that help keep folks safe from wandering, and tailored care plans so each person gets the right level of help. Harvy's Home Care gives everyone a peaceful spot with plenty to do, with activities and outings planned in the area-some like visits to the park or a meal out-while inside, they keep a busy calendar with social events, crafts, and exercise, because keeping active matters for independence. The place also provides respite care, skilled nursing, home health care, and non-medical home care, so it serves folks with many different needs, and its licenses let it offer everything from basic assistance to more complex care, including for those who can't walk or who need help with lifting. Support's available round the clock, with caregivers and registered nurses checking in as needed, and there's help for behavioral needs and for people who may act out or wander. Housekeeping, laundry, and daily chores are handled, so residents can just enjoy the gardens or read in the shared rooms. The place welcomes residents who pay privately, by check, cash, or even military and VA benefits, and offers tours for new folks who want to see what's available-sometimes they'll have staff there ready to answer questions and show people around. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the staff always try to make residents feel at home, working gently and with patience, so residents can stay comfortable over the long term, with increasing care if their needs ever change.
