Kimberly‘s Kare Kottages

Overview of Kimberly‘s Kare Kottages

Operated by Hall, Debra & Patrick, Kimberly’s Kare Kottages is a small residential community offering assisted living and memory care in the West Valley neighborhood of San Jose. With Kendall Hall serving as administrator and just six beds, the home supplies an intimate setting for older adults requiring personalized support.

Operating for 19 years, the facility currently serves three residents. It’s nestled on Maria Way in a moderately walkable neighborhood where nearby amenities and transit corridors are accessible. The setting captivates families seeking a smaller, home-like environment instead of a larger institutional facility. Memory care is offered, so the home suits occupants with cognitive decline

State inspections have flagged zones where housekeeping, maintenance, and documentation demand attention. The facility upholds clean and safe conditions overall, though inspectors have flagged deficiencies involving door locks, wall integrity, staff records, and medication documentation.

Families must ask about how the home addresses maintenance and record-keeping practices. The intimate size and personalized approach may particularly appeal to families who love direct relationships with leadership and care staff.
