Pacific Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Support in Santa Clara is set up for residents who need Assisted Living with a strong clinical focus on memory care. The care team is prepared to help people who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, stay awake through the night, require oxygen, follow specialized diets, or manage diabetes with oral medications. Staff members are trained to support advanced dementia and related behaviors, and the community is structured to reduce agitation and confusion for residents experiencing memory loss.

Around-the-clock oversight underpins daily life. The building keeps an RN or LPN on site, a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and an awake night shift. Every employee undergoes background checks, and doors are alarmed with a fenced rear area for added security. The on-site clinical lineup includes memory care services, ambulatory and incontinence care, medication management, hospice support, and regular visits from a dentist, podiatrist, occupational therapist, and physical therapist. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting receive hands-on help, and staff can facilitate mobility ranging from walker guidance to one-person, two-person, or Hoyer-lift transfers, including support for those who are bedbound.

Apartments can feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service, though configurations differ, and not every unit has every feature. Residents who do not want to cook can rely on the dining room’s set menu, while clinical staff coordinate diet modifications for diabetes, low-sodium needs, or other physician-ordered plans.

Independent Living residents on the same campus may add medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, and laundry services so they can age in place without changing addresses as their needs evolve.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, and landscaped communal gardens. Scheduled transportation and proximity to public transit simplify trips to medical appointments or shopping. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
