Families considering Marbella San Jose (formerly Brookdale) will find a community highly praised for its exceptionally warm, professional, and communicative staff, particularly in the memory care and resident care departments. While many residents enjoy the vibrant activities and well-maintained common areas, there are significant, isolated reports of poor hygiene and food quality that warrant close investigation. The facility is currently undergoing renovations, which some reviewers view as a positive upgrade to the environment.

Key Review Excerpts
“Sabrina Setz does excellent work making sure our family is well informed. She stays on top of issues that come up and is a pleasure to work with at all times.”
“The community is currently under renovation and it’s going to look great when it is done.”
“We had put my godmother here, paying near the most amount possible for her to be taken care of, assisted in shower, and cleaned. Nothing was done and she was not taken care of.”
