Why we like it

Sonnet Hill is an 80-bed assisted living community in San Jose offering both assisted living and memory care in a boutique setting. Located near Highway 280 and minutes from Santana Row and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, the community emphasizes what it calls the "Poetry of Aging" — a philosophy centered on purposeful daily living.

The campus features custom-designed interiors with an emphasis on natural light and thoughtful architecture.

Memory Care rates stay flat as needs increase
Basic personal care plan costs don't rise as memory care needs escalate. The flat-rate model covers care plan adjustments — incontinence management is the only separate add-on.
Couples with differing care needs can stay together
If two residents require different levels of care, Sonnet Hill accommodates both under one roof rather than requiring separation.
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center nearby
Located minutes from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and close to HWY 280, with Santana Row shopping also within short distance.
Full-time licensed nurses on-site
Licensed nurses are on staff full-time. Individual PT, speech, and occupational therapy can also be arranged within the building.
