The Watermark at San Jose

Safety data last updated July 2026

Part of the FYI Safety Scorecard, the independent safety rating for every California assisted living facility.

Why we like it

• Brand-new, purpose-built facility

  A recently opened community designed from the ground up for senior living — modern apartments with contemporary finishes, not a retrofit of an older building.

• Watermark signature programs

  Includes Watermark University for lifelong learning, specialized memory care programming, and a full calendar of fitness classes, outings, and spa services.

• Central Silicon Valley location

  Located on South Bascom Avenue with easy access to San Jose's medical centers, cultural venues, and the broader Bay Area.

• Average safety record

  2 serious and 1 minor citations across 17 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Ask what's changed and how past issues were corrected when you visit.

• Newer community, limited track record

  Licensed for only about a year — there is less operational history to evaluate compared to long-established communities. The Watermark brand provides some assurance, but ask about staff retention and resident satisfaction.

• Large-scale community

  At 205 beds, this is a sizable community — visit in person to see if the scale feels comfortable.
