My family felt really comfortable at Courtyard Care Center when my grandma was admitted here. The whole staff was nice and understanding with my grandma. They took care of my grandma’s needs. Courtyard was able to accommodate my big family comfortably when we visited her in her last few days. The facilities were nice and clean. I recommend Courtyard Care Center to everyone.

I live in Idaho and my mother lives in San Jose ca. she lives alone independently, but fell one day while doing household chores. The hospital decided to send her to a nursing home for short term therapy. We had several options to choose from, toured most of them. Out of all the tours, courtyard stood out the most! Upon arriving, the receptionist greeted me. Helped me peel my name tag and offered me a freshly baked cookie. Marisa, the admissions director took her time to show me around the facility. Introduced me to all the key staff and was overall very informative on how skilled nursing works. We decided to go with courtyard based off the overall vibe we got from entering the building. You can tell staff actually cared about my mother’s well being. Social services Alexis and Yuliana helped with the discharge process and made sure she had proper equipment before going home. I’m forever grateful for this group of hardworking people, you truly made a difference.

I stayed at Courtyard care facility all of August 2026. I was recovering from a major GI surgery and 9 day hospital stay at Stanford hospital. I required specialized diet, supplemental automatic nutrition, wound care, medication prepared in a liquid state, frequent monitoring of vitals and blood draw and testing. I looked at 3 other facilities besides courtyard in the area that accepted medicare and medicaid. I wanted to be close to Stanford but in san jose to be close by a family friend that visited me daily with their dog. Courtyard is a dog friendly facility which was a requirement for me because I believe it was an important part of my recovery. Before my stay Courtyard stood out as my first choice and the admissions director, Marisa, stayed in close touch with me and arranged for me to be picked up from Stanford by special medical transport. Courtyard has a highly skilled staff and I received excellent and compassionate care throughout my stay. My physical state was constantly evolving and improving and everyone adapted to my changing state. I needed to walk around outside in the courtyard at the center of the facility everyday several times a day at all hours and the staff was supportive of this. Nutrition was an essential part of my recovery and a special shout out to the kitchen staff that was always providing me with extra prepared items when the specially prepared pureed dishes that were specified by the Stanford medical team didn't appeal to me. I was able to gain back the weight I lost after my surgery because of the excellent menu at Courtyard. Also I enjoyed the daily freshly prepared soup that was served in the dining hall just before lunch. There was an in house dietitian, physical therapy team, social worker and insurance administration team and in house doctor, Dr Freddrick, who was so supportive and encouraging and always stream lining my requested care updates as they came up. I decided to stay an extra week and the business office covered the bases to approve it with the insurance. I'm certain my recovery went so well because I was staying at Courtyard care facility. As it happened the day I discharged there was a special celebration for a new incoming chief Administrator with a Mariachi band, singing and dancing. It felt like a party for my departure and an emotional send off for me. Thank you everyone at Courtyard. Mr J Smith

I can't say enough good things about this place. My uncle needed total care after his stroke, and they treated him with kindness and respect, and kept him comfortable. Furthermore, they cared how "I" was doing. You can tell how well-run a place is by the vibe, and I definitely felt the professionalism of the Courtyard staff.

My father was in a bad car accident in September. He has been at this facility for over 8 weeks. It’s been a very tough situation on our family but the staff / nurses have really helped support us a make this process smooth. We really wanna thank Merrissa she’s went above & beyond to make sure my father has gotten proper care and is comfortable during his stay. Merrissa is truly amazing we can’t thank her enough!!!

Courtyard Care Center is simply the best skilled nursing facility in the Bay Area. It is a small community and a bit unknown. What sets Courtyard Care Center apart from other skilled nursing facilities is the fact that every single staff member works as one, cohesive team, in every way. I visit my dad most days of the week and have gotten to know many members of the staff. The staff only say positive things about Courtyard and how much they enjoy working there...and it shows in the pride, care and love they give to their patients. Our family truly considers the staff to be an extension of our family. Courtyard has been nothing short of a divine blessing. Our family is forever grateful.

When a family member discharged from the hospital he entered Courtyard. He was not your typical "rehab" patient. Although his challenges were new to the facility they worked tirelessly to take care of him. He is now stable through their efforts. I can not say enough about the accessible, supportive and resourceful staff. From the attending physician, to the administrative staff, PT/OT, medical staff, and all the way to housekeeping and kitchen staff they are visible, welcoming and caring. We are very pleased and thankful.
