We would like to take a moment to show gratitude of how the BonHomie Group residential care home has been such a blessing not only for my father, but also for our entire family. Our situation was challenging from the start as my father was a completely healthy male in his early 80s until literally overnight things took a terrible turn. Because of unique difficulties that we had to address with our father, the first two locations that we had found, unfortunately, did not pan out. Lucky for us, the third time was definitely the charm.
From the very start working with the administrative staff we knew we had stumbled on something special. Dealing with them was nothing like our first two experiences. From there it only got better as our dad adjusted so quickly, and even more importantly, he became a much happier and healthier individual. Every single staff member goes over and beyond for their residents.
We are so very grateful that we found such a special home with the BonHomie Group.

Hi Gladys,
I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude for the exceptional care that Grace and Arnel have been providing to our beloved Barbara at Bonhomie Saratoga.
The transformation we have witnessed in her well-being and happiness since she transitioned to this facility two (2) months ago has been nothing short of remarkable.
From the moment she entered Bonhomie Saratoga, it became abundantly clear that she was in the hands of dedicated professionals who genuinely care about her welfare.
Under the compassionate and attentive care of Grace and Arnel, it is evident that the personalized attention and genuine affection she receives daily have had a profound impact on her overall well-being. The positive change in her demeanor is nothing short of a testament to the nurturing environment created by Grace and Arnel.
We are greatly grateful for the commitment, expertise and compassion that Grace and Arnel bring to Bonhomie Saratoga truly make it a home. Their dedication to enhance the quality of life for residents like Barbara is truly commendable. Knowing that our loved one is not only receiving excellent care but is also emotionally supported is a source of comfort and reassurance for our entire family.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Bonhomie Saratoga to anyone seeking top-notch memory and elder care and services. Grace and Arnel's exceptional care has made a significant impact on Barbara's life, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
With gratitude,
Steve and Heather Metz

My Dad was treated exceptionally well by the staff of Bonhomie of Willowmont. The home was always clean, organized and smelt fresh. The medication management was excellent. My dad enjoyed the home cooking and the quite safe neighborhood. They truly do practice consistent acts of kindness every day. The staff wen to extra effort to support my family thru a difficult time. I am very grateful we found them in our time of need and would highly recommend them.

My mother, Maria Bettencourt, has been battling dementia for eleven years. Myself and three siblings cared for her on weekends for eight years, using in-home caregiving on weekdays. It was a constant concern as the care, attention and safety provided by the hired caregivers was sorely lacking.
Maria has been in the care of BonHomie (A HOME AT SHAW) since August 17, 2019. BonHomie provides a clean, professional, loving environment for all their patients. Three healthy and nutritional meals are prepared daily. The caregivers pay particular care to the hygiene of all their patients.
Specifically, Lourdes and Floro have demonstrated loving care and affection for my mother. Myself and siblings are forever grateful!
It's very comforting to know that a loved one, stricken with a horrible disease, is in a safe, clean and loving home.

I stayed for 1 1/2 months at BONHOMIE DWYER to recuperate from an accident at home.
I had a very pleasurable experience at Bonhomie Dwyer. The staff are very kind, caring and thoughtful. They are always ready to help with anything WITH A SMILE. They are very capable and do everything with a light touch and smile. This is very important when one is in recovering covered with bruises, unable to walk very well and dealing with a broken shoulder.
Everything is very clean, laundry is done everyday and everything is quickly cleaned up as soon as it indirtied.
The meals are well prepared and a variety of meals are served so that the menu doesn’t get boring. I will miss having my meals prepared and served daily tho.
This care was not only extended to me but also to every residents at Dwyer. Kind, thoughtful and service with a smile always. I will surely miss everyone here.

Since my first post about my 95 year old mother living at Harmonie Home, residential care living, my mother has passed, after being there about 4 1/2 months. I can’t say enough for the loving care Rose and her staff gave to my mom. My mother ended up being a unexpected handful. But, all the staff showed a tremendous compassion, dedication, physical care and patience, helping mom. Also, they worked with Hospice services. Rose also, was very kind and answered all our questions and kept us informed how mom was doing each day when we asked. With Covid it was a little difficult visiting mom. The room she had was bright, sunny and very clean, with a patio door. I could visit, masked by the door and eventually inside 6 ft away until the last 24 hours, I was able masked to visit mom and hold her hand while she was sleeping.
I would recommend Harmonie Home, Almaden for any others that are in need of residential care for their loved ones.

My 95 year old mother has been living at Harmonie Home residential assisted living for almost one month.
I visited and toured several other facilities but wasn’t pleased. Then I was given the name of Gladys, the manager of several homes in their group. Out of the other large and small facilities I visited Gladys was the most welcoming and positive about my mothers care.
Together we decided on her Harmonie House in Almaden. Mom’s room is light, airy and has a nice patio door with a pool view. So far mom hasn’t complained to me about the food. Mom doesn’t like some of the personal care she needs. But, the staff know how to handle these issues.
My mother seems to be adjusting to her new situation although it’s up and down somedays.
The staff Rose, Michael, Lito and Joel attend to her many needs with gentle care and compassion. I have the most contact with Rose, she is very dedicated, accommodating and so very, very helpful!
So far I am giving Harmonie Home a 4.5 star rating. I will review my rating after a few months of mom’s care at Harmonie Home.

Dear Staff at Harmonie Home on Nesbit Court in Almaden,
I was so happy to find this assisted living facility for my mother Jane. I was so worried about finding people who would give my mother excellent and loving care. Rose and Michael went above and beyond to provide the required care and my mother felt they really cared for her as a person. Gladys was also very prompt in addressing any concerns I had. Overall, I was highly satisfied and will always be grateful to Rose and Michael for their loving care. I wish everyone could have this type of care for their loved ones.

Hello Gladys,
My father has resided at Bon Homie Lena in San Jose for 3 months. Monette and Arnold (Bon Homie III) there are kind, compassionate and diligent. They get to know the residents well and become like family, knowing their likes and dislikes and treating them with dignity. They are not overwhelmed by the care needs of the residents. The facility (residential house) is absolutely spotless and the gardens beautifully manicured. They provide healthy, home cooked food, including a huge turkey and all the trimmings on Thanksgiving. They made the transition easy for me, even unpacking my father’s clothes and supplies into his room/closet when we first arrived. When time comes to get my wheelchair-bound father off to a doctor’s appointment they have him, showered, dressed, shaved and ready to go on time. I don’t know what I would do without these kind souls.

Thank you for making my grandmothers last months dignified. She was able to pass in her own bed at home holding my hand. Thank you.

From the Asamoto family, we want to thank you and your wonderful staff from the bottom of our hearts for the loving care you provided for our mother, Alice. The last few months were challenging, but the team seemed to know how to deal with each situation. Gladys is a rock and Tony really endeared himself to my mom. She would tell me that “we just picked him up, and he’s really a nice guy.” She loved her room and would always tell me that “this was one of the best rooms in the hotel.” We were so happy that we were able to celebrate her 98th birthday at the house two weeks ago. She was with two of her grandchildren and three of her great grandchildren. Thanks again to you and your staff for providing the comfort and care for our mom during her stay at BonHomie of Willowmont.

Dear Grace and Arnel (caregivers),
I just wanted to take a moment and express our gratitude for the wonderful job performed by both of you in providing Aunt Helen a wonderful home and experience in her last year. As much as she resisted moving from her prior assisted living situation, she quickly warned, and in a short time came to “love” you.
One major concern a family has in making such a move is that a relative will end up in a place they do t want to visit, from feelings of guilt of “how could you have left me here”. That was never the case. You kept the home in wonderful shape, always clean and, whenever there was an occasion to celebrate, festive. You also constantly displayed a positive, uplifting attitude to those for whom you were providing care, and toward us when we came to visit. You additionally provided a level of personal care that surpassed all the other assisted living facilities we toured and considered. After each visit, I could walk back to my car and say to myself, “Helen is in a good place”. As you know, my mother had caregivers tending to her needs for 16 years while she suffered from Parkinsons. I managed to process, and came to appreciate the difficulty in finding and keeping good people. In all those years, I have never found anyone who provided the level and quality of service I witnessed in watching the two of you. I appreciated it. Our whole family appreciated it. I know your current employers must recognize and appreciate it as well. On behalf of Helen’s family, thank you so much.
I just wanted to take a moment and express our gratitude for the wonderful job performed by both of you in providing Aunt Helen a wonderful home and experience in her last year. As much as she resisted moving from her prior assisted living situation, she quickly warned, and in a short time came to “love” you.
One major concern a family has in making such a move is that a relative will end up in a place they do t want to visit, from feelings of guilt of “how could you have left me here”. That was never the case. You kept the home in wonderful shape, always clean and, whenever there was an occasion to celebrate, festive. You also constantly displayed a positive, uplifting attitude to those for whom you were providing care, and toward us when we came to visit. You additionally provided a level of personal care that surpassed all the other assisted living facilities we toured and considered.

Dear Jona,
It’s hard to express the full depth of my gratitude to you for the wonderful, attentive, and joyfilled care Dad received at Willowmont. Anna and Gladys are gems, taking both the elderly they care for and their loved ones into their hearts. Dad also loved Aaron’s care on weekends. Far and away over MANY care homes we have observed, you have established thoughtful, safe, pleasant, homes. Your knowledge and foresight as owner are priceless. I only wish Dad could have stayed longer.

Dear Jona,
I want to thank you so much for our wonderful experience with BonHomie. My mom had the best care and love during her final days with us. We moved my mom into BonHomie Willowmont on Aug. 30th, 2011. We visited three separate locations before making our decision. It was a tough decision as each BonHomie home had amazing caregivers and very happy and well cared for residents. We chose BonHomie Willowmont. Gladys and Ana are exceptional caregivers and people. We felt immediate love and compassion form the moment we visited the first time. There is a joyfulness always in the air. My mom had been in assisted living for a couple of years, and really was alone. She stayed in her room and was not a part of activities anymore. Food and medications were delivered but no one stayed…she was left mostly in bed, staring at the wall. No real communication during the day. They just came and left. We visited her every night after work to spend at least a few hours communicating with her and taking her out for some fresh air. That is what happens in large assisted living environments when residents can no longer make it out of their rooms. Too many residents and not enough personal care staff. The compassion and concern is lost. The cost is unreasonably high. Thank God for BonHomie!!!! I can’t express enough how excited we were to discover BonHomie care homes. It was God send for my mom and our family. My mom had a progressive disease that ultimately required hospice care a month before we found BonHomie. When we moved in, we were welcomed in like a family. So comfortable in every aspect. With all of the love, dedication, and amazing care given to my mom, her health and mind improved immediately. She was smiling and laughed again. It had been so long. The home cooked meals and loving atmosphere brought my mom peace and hope in the midst of her daily health struggles. We have a large family and they were able to visit and each one felt the love surrounded her there. Unfortunately, her illness caught up with her. We are so grateful she was able to be surrounded by family and the immense love from Gladys and Ana in her final moments. Gladys and Ana were so gracious and accommodating with our family as we gathered overnight to stay with her. Mom was very blessed to peacefully pass away at “home”…with so much love around her. Our family has given a gift of peace, knowing my mom’s last days were the very best they could possibly be. Thanks again and God bless BonHomie.

Hi Jona,
I want to thank you and your staff so much for all the loving support and care that you gave my Dad. You provide a wonderful home for those of us who need such care and I will always be grateful for your staff who were so kind and supportive. Even though Dad did not really participate in the home activity and life there, he was still very happy and so very well taken care of. For that, I will always be grateful… We are especially thankful to Jay who was such a patient and caring helper to Dad. He is a gem. Thank you again for your wonderful services. It made these past few months with Dad the best that they could be.

If you are looking for a care home for your family member, I recommend A HOME AT SHAW. It’s a very nice neighborhood in the Willow Glen area. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and quick to meet your needs. The house is immaculate at all times. The food is excellent and planned nutritiously with lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. A Home at Shaw is popular for the good parties it hosts. Everyone has a good time singing, dancing, playing games, and eating great food. It is a pleasure as a resident of the Shaw home for over a year to write this testimonial.

They are doing a terrific job taking care of my father, especially Jay who is so kind and caring. I understand my Dad is a bit difficult right now, but I hope his new medication will kick in soon so that he can be a bit more himself. Thanks so much for your help during this new transition in our lives.

I have been staying at Bon Homie Willowmont. It is a care home facility. It is like being at home. The service is caring and loving. My caregiver, Gladys is a wonderful cook. She is also a good friend. I would recommend Bon Homie to anyone.

Hi Jona,
I just want to tell you that while I know my Mom tells us she wants to go home, we know she “is home”. My Mom lost our Dad when she was just 39 years old and she has devoted her entire life to her children, not really saving anything for herself. You all have taken such good care of her, her skin looks great, her appetite is good. If she wasn’t happy where she is, she would not continue to thrive.
I know, being a nurse, how much it takes to really do a good job and how important it is for patients to feel that we really care about them. All of the caregivers at Mom’s place are very special and deserve a lot of credit for all the hard work and dedication they show each day.

Dear Gladys and JR (Bon Homie Willowmont):
Thank you for all that you do for our mom. She has Alzheimer but she knows you two and tells her guests “they take good care of me here”. The home is clean, tidy, and nicely decorated too. Gladys and JR, you are so warm, friendly, caring, and make everyone feel special (client and guests). You go above and beyond your normal duties. Mom sure enjoys getting out for walks. It is so nice to see Mom with pretty pink blush, lipstick, earrings, nicely done hair, and always properly dressed. You help Mom by exercising with her to build up her strenght, keep track of her hearing aids, and make sure her other personal needs are met. Mom has lived there for six months and has steadily improved due to the special care she receives from you and from the health professionals that you have recommended.

With that in mind, I would like to formally register a few observations about your staff at Bon Homie Saratoga.
Both Grace and Arnel do an amazing and I’m certain an outstanding job. They remain remarkably patient, tolerant, and cheerful in an extremely challenging environment. Not only do Grace and Arnel provide a safe and comfortable home for the residents, they go the extra mile.
Holidays and birthdays are recognized in a lovely and engaging manner
Health care visits are organized
Personal grooming visits are organized
Menus are varied and interesting
Your staff has more that met my mother’s and my expectations.

Hi Jona,
Thank you very much for your time and interest in meeting with me yesterday. I am very impressed by all that you have accomplished with your care homes! Your home was cheerful and welcoming, and your residents appear to be comfortable and well cared for.
I am excited about the new opportunities that may stem from my upcoming move, and am particularly interested in developing some new services to support board and care homes. As we discussed, the smaller homes have different needs than larger facilities and need support. I will certainly welcome feedback and suggestions from you, as I appreciate your skills and experience. Let’s stay in touch!

It has been a year that Grace and Arnel (Care providers) have been at at Bon Homie Saratoga. It is a relief to know that our mother, Bernice Foster, is being looked after by the two of the kindest and most considerate individuals we have met. Having them at home daily has made it comfortable for residents and family alike.
They both have acted in a professional, yet warm manner, whenever we have been at the home. They work together to keep Bernice dressed appropriately and in clean clothing, which is uplifting for her. They do well in keeping up her personal hygiene as well as keeping her room, her bathroom and the rest of the home clean and free from safety concerns. Together they prepare nutritious meals and special snacks that she and the others enjoy.
Grace, as well as Arnel work with Bernice to keep her as active as possible, yet don’t allow her to “over do” so that she hurts herself. They are always very patient and understanding in dealing with her and assure her privacy and personal property rights are maintained. They follow our directions when caring for her and will call us when questions or concerns arise. They answer the phone appropriately when we call, will allow my mother to use the phone whenever she asks, and also assist her in that process as needed.
We trust Arnel and Grace completely to take care of Bernice with no hesitation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.

As we take a moment to celebrate Grace’s birthday, I wanted to take time to tell you how terrific she and Arnel have been this past year. I marvel at the caring manner in which both of them worked with our mother and all of the residents.. Grace has amazing patience and great practical knowledge. She is constantly problem-solving health and comfort issues for my Mom, and as a result, helps her to feel as well as she can.
What Grace and Arnel bring to this house is a calm, confident and consistently positive attitude toward everything and everyone. They both treat all the residents as if they were family, and extend that feeling of welcome to the rest of us. Thew feeling is that we are part of a team, and our mother benefits from all of us communicating well and working together. Grace and Arnel are both a great prize for those of us seeking quality care for our ageing parents. I’m so glad that they work for Bon Homie because the have created a warm and wonderful environment for us all.

Thank you so much for your card and orchid arrangement…this was very thoughtful and is greatly appreciated. Mom loved flowers and often used them in her paintings so this is a fitting remembrance for her.
Even though “B” couldn’t always express it, she was very comfortable and happy at Bon Homie and appreciated all that you and the staff did for the residents. After being there for almost two years, everyone feels like family. Please know that if presented with the opportunity in the future, we would happily refer people to Bon Homie RCH.

Your home is always immaculate and the residents are well taken care of, especially the little touch of applying rouge means a lot and is always very much appreciated. Your residents have been professionals and you are treating them as such with loving care.
I’ll be glad to give a recommendation to a relative of a prospective client. Again, thank you for everything you do for Irmgard.

Our Mom lived at BonHomie’s Lincoln Pine home (in a private room) for approximately the last year of her life (2001-2002). While she would naturally have preferred to be living with one of her children, she was comfortable there and very well cared for. BonHomie was the next best thing to being home with her children.
The BonHomie staff (caregivers and supervisors/managers) always treated Mom like one of their family – with attentiveness, respect, gentleness, consideration, caring, and love. They seemed to especially enjoy her musical skills at the keyboard (she had one and played it daily – by ear), as well as her interest in crossword puzzles, which she also worked daily. Two of Mom’s four children (two brothers) live close enough to Lincoln Pine to be regular visitors while Mom was there – usually to just hang out with her – and sometimes to have dinner with her, or bring her to one of our homes for dinner or a weekend. We were always welcome visitors at the Lincoln Pine home, and the caregivers were always ready to feed us at meal time too. Their food was always good – and appropriate for the diverse tastes and needs of the residents.
Mom was in good health until the last 4-6 months of her life, when her decline became more evident. She was able to stay there in the Lincoln Pine home until the end. During Mom’s last 2 weeks, three of us spent a lot of time at her bedside, and during her last few nights, one of us slept alongside her in an extra bed set up by the caregivers. The caregivers and managers made it easy for us to be there as much as we needed to be there. We felt that Mom’s caregivers were as deeply saddened by her passing as we were. We were (and still are) extremely grateful that Mom was able to stay at the Lincoln Pine Home until her ultimate journey and not have to be transferred to a hospital.
We recommend the BonHomie Residential Care Homes without reservation. We think it would be difficult to find other residential care homes of equal quality.

Having them at home daily has made it comfortable for residents and family alike.
They both have acted in a professional, yet warm manner, whenever we have been at the home. They work together to keep Bernice dressed appropriately and in clean clothing, which is uplifting for her. They do well in keeping up her personal hygiene as well as keeping her room, her bathroom and the rest of the home clean and free from safety concerns. Together they prepare nutritious meals and special snacks that she and the others enjoy.
Grace, as well as Arnel work with Bernice to keep her as active as possible, yet don’t allow her to “over do” so that she hurts herself. They are always very patient and understanding in dealing with her and assure her privacy and personal property rights are maintained. They follow our directions when caring for her and will call us when questions or concerns arise. They answer the phone appropriately when we call, will allow my mother to use the phone whenever she asks, and also assist her in that process as needed.
We trust Arnel and Grace completely to take care of Bernice with no hesitation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Hi Jona,
Thank you very much for your time and interest in meeting with me yesterday. I am very impressed by all that you have accomplished with your care homes! Your home was cheerful and welcoming, and your residents appear to be comfortable and well cared for.
I am excited about the new opportunities that may stem from my upcoming move, and am particularly interested in developing some new services to support board and care homes. As we discussed, the smaller homes have different needs than larger facilities and need support. I will certainly welcome feedback and suggestions from you, as I appreciate your skills and experience. Let’s stay in touch!
Dear Owners:
As we know, I dont mind registering concern.
With that in mind, I would like to formally register a few observations about your staff at Bon Homie Saratoga.
Both Grace and Arnel do an amazing and I’m certain an outstanding job. They remain remarkably patient, tolerant, and cheerful in an extremely challenging environment. Not only do Grace and Arnel provide a safe and comfortable home for the residents, they go the extra mile.
Holidays and birthdays are recognized in a lovely and engaging manner
Health care visits are organized
Personal grooming visits are organized
Menus are varied and interesting
Your staff has more that met my mother’s and my expectations.
Thank you for all you do for my mom. I definitely appreciate how comfortable she is with you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Gladys,
Thank you for all that you do for our Dad. Your bright smile and kind generous ways are truly a blessing.
Dear Jona:
Compliments to Joy, Richard, and Sam for the wonderful birthday lunch, made possible for Irmguard on Tuesday; the table setting was beautiful and the food prepared by Richard was delicious. It was so convenient for me, having Richard doing the cooking.
Again, thank you to your staff, who always are so accommodating and gracious.
Dear Gladys and JR (Bon Homie Willowmont):
Thank you for all that you do for our mom. She has Alzheimer but she knows you two and tells her guests “they take good care of me here”. The home is clean, tidy, and nicely decorated too. Gladys and JR, you are so warm, friendly, caring, and make everyone feel special (client and guests). You go above and beyond your normal duties. Mom sure enjoys getting out for walks. It is so nice to see Mom with pretty pink blush, lipstick, earrings, nicely done hair, and always properly dressed. You help Mom by exercising with her to build up her strenght, keep track of her hearing aids, and make sure her other personal needs are met. Mom has lived there for six months and has steadily improved due to the special care she receives from you and from the health professionals that you have recommended.
Hi Jona,
I just want to tell you that while I know my Mom tells us she wants to go home, we know she “is home”. My Mom lost our Dad when she was just 39 years old and she has devoted her entire life to her children, not really saving anything for herself. You all have taken such good care of her, her skin looks great, her appetite is good. If she wasn’t happy where she is, she would not continue to thrive.
I know, being a nurse, how much it takes to really do a good job and how important it is for patients to feel that we really care about them. All of the caregivers at Mom’s place are very special and deserve a lot of credit for all the hard work and dedication they show each day.
Hi Jona,
My Mom’s (Mary) visiting nurse just called me and told me that she was very impressed with the staff at Lena Dr. She said she visits a lot of care homes and your staff was the most conscientious and attentive that she’s ever seen. Makes me very happy that I made the right choice.
Thanks so much!
Hi Jona,
I have been staying at Bon Homie Willowmont. It is a care home facility. It is like being at home. The service is caring and loving. My caregiver, Gladys is a wonderful cook. She is also a good friend. I would recommend Bon Homie to anyone.
Dear Jona:
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your wonderful staff at Bon Homie II, Linda, Ed, and Jay. They are doing a terrific job taking care of my father, especially Jay who is so kind and caring. I understand my Dad is a bit difficult right now, but I hope his new medication will kick in soon so that he can be a bit more himself. Thanks so much for your help during this new transition in our lives.
Thanks so much!
If you are looking for a care home for your family member, I recommend A HOME AT SHAW. It’s a very nice neighborhood in the Willow Glen area. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and quick to meet your needs. The house is immaculate at all times. The food is excellent and planned nutritiously with lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. A Home at Shaw is popular for the good parties it hosts. Everyone has a good time singing, dancing, playing games, and eating great food. It is a pleasure as a resident of the Shaw home for over a year to write this testimonial.
Hi Jona,
I want to thank you and your staff so much for all the loving support and care that you gave my Dad. You provide a wonderful home for those of us who need such care and I will always be grateful for your staff who were so kind and supportive. Even though Dad did not really participate in the home activity and life there, he was still very happy and so very well taken care of. For that, I will always be grateful… We are especially thankful to Jay who was such a patient and caring helper to Dad. He is a gem. Thank you again for your wonderful services. It made these past few months with Dad the best that they could be.
Dear Jona,
I want to thank you so much for our wonderful experience with BonHomie. My mom had the best care and love during her final days with us. We moved my mom into BonHomie Willowmont on Aug. 30th, 2011. We visited three separate locations before making our decision. It was a tough decision as each BonHomie home had amazing caregivers and very happy and well cared for residents. We chose BonHomie Willowmont. Gladys and Ana are exceptional caregivers and people. We felt immediate love and compassion form the moment we visited the first time. There is a joyfulness always in the air. My mom had been in assisted living for a couple of years, and really was alone. She stayed in her room and was not a part of activities anymore. Food and medications were delivered but no one stayed…she was left mostly in bed, staring at the wall. No real communication during the day. They just came and left. We visited her every night after work to spend at least a few hours communicating with her and taking her out for some fresh air. That is what happens in large assisted living environments when residents can no longer make it out of their rooms. Too many residents and not enough personal care staff. The compassion and concern is lost. The cost is unreasonably high. Thank God for BonHomie!!!! I can’t express enough how excited we were to discover BonHomie care homes. It was God send for my mom and our family. My mom had a progressive disease that ultimately required hospice care a month before we found BonHomie. When we moved in, we were welcomed in like a family. So comfortable in every aspect. With all of the love, dedication, and amazing care given to my mom, her health and mind improved immediately. She was smiling and laughed again. It had been so long. The home cooked meals and loving atmosphere brought my mom peace and hope in the midst of her daily health struggles. We have a large family and they were able to visit and each one felt the love surrounded her there. Unfortunately, her illness caught up with her. We are so grateful she was able to be surrounded by family and the immense love from Gladys and Ana in her final moments. Gladys and Ana were so gracious and accommodating with our family as we gathered overnight to stay with her. Mom was very blessed to peacefully pass away at “home”…with so much love around her. Our family has given a gift of peace, knowing my mom’s last days were the very best they could possibly be. Thanks again and God bless BonHomie.
Hi Jona,
I appreciate her care of my mom very much and I’d like to acknowledge her dedication in some way. Thanks.
Dear Jona,
It’s hard to express the full depth of my gratitude to you for the wonderful, attentive, and joyfilled care Dad received at Willowmont. Anna and Gladys are gems, taking both the elderly they care for and their loved ones into their hearts. Dad also loved Aaron’s care on weekends. Far and away over MANY care homes we have observed, you have established thoughtful, safe, pleasant, homes. Your knowledge and foresight as owner are priceless. I only wish Dad could have stayed longer.
Dear Grace and Arnel (caregivers),
I just wanted to take a moment and express our gratitude for the wonderful job performed by both of you in providing Aunt Helen a wonderful home and experience in her last year. As much as she resisted moving from her prior assisted living situation, she quickly warned, and in a short time came to “love” you.
One major concern a family has in making such a move is that a relative will end up in a place they do t want to visit, from feelings of guilt of “how could you have left me here”. That was never the case. You kept the home in wonderful shape, always clean and, whenever there was an occasion to celebrate, festive. You also constantly displayed a positive, uplifting attitude to those for whom you were providing care, and toward us when we came to visit. You additionally provided a level of personal care that surpassed all the other assisted living facilities we toured and considered. After each visit, I could walk back to my car and say to myself, “Helen is in a good place”.
As you know, my mother had caregivers tending to her needs for 16 years while she suffered from Parkinsons. I managed to process, and came to appreciate the difficulty in finding and keeping good people. In all those years, I have never found anyone who provided the level and quality of service I witnessed in watching the two of you. I appreciated it. Our whole family appreciated it. I know your current employers must recognize and appreciate it as well.
On behalf of Helen’s family, thank you so much.
Dear Jona,
Thank you for the card in regard to my Dad’s passing. I must tell you how much we both appreciate his living and dying at his home in Bon Homie III. Imelda, Alma, Dolly, and Anna were angels during his last months. The women are so loving, kind, smart, and caring. I will miss seeing them all each day.Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the BonHomie Family.
BonHomie Group,
Thank you all so much for all of your help and caring support of our mother over the last couple of years. She is now at peace and we are grateful that you were there for her to the end. We are very grateful for all that you have done.
Hi Jona,
I wanted to thank you and Pia for the wonderful Christmas party that you put on for the residents. We all enjoyed it so much and I could see that the music made my Mom very very happy. I know it took a lot of time and effort for everyone to put on such a beautiful party. I just wanted you to know that it was greatly appreciated. Seeing my mom light up with the music being sung made me very happy. Please forward this on to Pia. I want her to know how much we appreciated it.
Dear Gladys,
Words cannot express how grateful I am for all your kindness and service to my Dad. You are an angel and a blessing.
Thank you for taking the best care ever of Daddy. You made his last months here filled with cheerfulness, dignity, and love.
Hi Jona,
From the Asamoto family, we want to thank you and your wonderful staff from the bottom of our hearts for the loving care you provided for our mother, Alice. The last few months were challenging, but the team seemed to know how to deal with each situation. Gladys is a rock and Tony really endeared himself to my mom. She would tell me that “we just picked him up, and he’s really a nice guy.” She loved her room and would always tell me that “this was one of the best rooms in the hotel.” We were so happy that we were able to celebrate her 98th birthday at the house two weeks ago. She was with two of her grandchildren and three of her great grandchildren. Thanks again to you and your staff for providing the comfort and care for our mom during her stay at BonHomie of Willowmont.
Hi Jona,
Thank you for your kindness and all your care and support you provide for our father.
Hi Jona,
Thank you Jona. I don’t know who to tell, but I want to say how amazing and wonderful Grace and Arnell were, taking such good care of my grandmother. I have seen a lot of retirement communities, and I have never found another one to match the love and care that my grandmother found with BonHomie Saratoga. Her hair and makeup were done every day. She was dressed pretty every day! She was happy, found new friends, in a caring, loving environment. I think people live longer in their amazing care. Thank you for making my grandmothers last months dignified. She was able to pass in her own bed at home holding my hand. Thank you.
Dear Jona,
Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my late Mother-in-law, Joyce. BonHomie IV provided a wonderful and safe environment for her. Gladys and Ana were so patient and kind with her Alzheimer’s condition. I am so fortunate to have found you.
Hello Gladys,
My father has resided at Bon Homie Lena in San Jose for 3 months. Monette and Arnold (Bon Homie III) there are kind, compassionate and diligent. They get to know the residents well and become like family, knowing their likes and dislikes and treating them with dignity. They are not overwhelmed by the care needs of the residents. The facility (residential house) is absolutely spotless and the gardens beautifully manicured. They provide healthy, home cooked food, including a huge turkey and all the trimmings on Thanksgiving. They made the transition easy for me, even unpacking my father’s clothes and supplies into his room/closet when we first arrived. When time comes to get my wheelchair-bound father off to a doctor’s appointment they have him, showered, dressed, shaved and ready to go on time. I don’t know what I would do without these kind souls.
Dear Monette and Arnold(Bon Homie Lena),
Our family and I wish to thank you for the care you give to Don, we so appreciate it so much.
Dear Caregivers(Bon Homie Lena),
My family and I want to thank all of you for given Don such good and thoughtful care while he was living with you.
Enclosed is a gift to show our appreciation please share with all.
God bless and many thanks!
Dear BonHomie 1 Staff,
This team of caregivers at BonHomie 1 are very patient and helpful. They treat my wife Esther with respect, care, and kindness.
They take care of my wife for her 3 months, medicine in the morning and evening, clean her everyday, and watch her during the day and night.
The entire house and rooms are clean, comfortable and of large space There is also a big yard in the back of the house what is very pleasant to look at.
I highly recommend this place.
Dear BonHomie 1 Staff,
Warmest wishes for a happy holiday seasons and a wonderful new year!
We thank you for taking such good care of me.
Most Sincerely,
Dear Monette and Arnold(Bon Homie Lena),
“MAY KINDNESS RETURN TO YOU IN THE SAME BEAUTIFUL WAY THAT IT WAS GIVEN”
Our family truly appreciate all your help with our dad. Consider this token of appreciation.
Thank you,
Dearest Monette and Arnold (Bon Homie III), thank you for the beautiful card and kind caring words for Daddy. You guys were so wonderful to him and treated with such kindness and respect. We can’t thank you enough for all you did for Daddy. He couldn’t have been in a better place. God bless you both and keep you and your family healthy, safe and loved. Thank you again from our hearts to yours. May Daddy Rest in Peace.
The time came when my mother needed more help than my brothers and I could provide on a daily basis. In searching for an assisted living home, our priority was to find an engaging, caring, and loving home where my mother was treated like family. We were so fortunate to find all of this an more at Bon Homie of Willowmont. My mother has now been living with Bon Homie of Willomont for fifteen months and we could not be happier with their amazing staff.
I have been a resident of BonHomie for over one year and enjoying my ghuge room with a view.
the food is good and served three times a day.
The staff is friendly helpful and efficient.
BonHomie Dwyer Staff:
Wishing you a happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year. I thank you for taking such good care of me.
Dear Lily (Lincoln and Pine, Willow Glen),

To Harmonie Home Caregivers, Staff and Residents:
Thank you so much for taking such good, loving care of my dad.
I am so happy he was in your care in his final days.
Thank you for all your kindness to me during this difficult time.
Dear Jona,
Thank you so much for the sweet card from all of you. That means a lot. It’s so hard and we miss her a ton, but we know she’s in a better place free of suffering.
I also wanted you to know how much my sister and especially I appreciate both Kim and Irene. To continue to make sure in all this time Mom had not one single bed sore speaks volumes. But beyond that, they loved, comforted and cared for Mom and made sure she was as well as they could help her be – all the way until the end. We are eternally grateful to them. You have a great staff in the two of them and I wanted you to know it.
Dear Gladys,
Thank you! Your facility, Lincoln and Pine Willow Glen, has been wonderful to us and our mom.
Its my first time to visit Bon Homie 2 and I noticed its very clean, neat and smells good and staff are friendly.
Very recommendable to live in.
To BonHomie of Willowmont Staff:
“FOR ALL YOU DO AND ALL YOU ARE”
Just wanted to thank you and all for caring dominic the way you did, even when he was stubborn. And thank you for always making me feel at home when I came to spend time with my dear friend, it meant the workd to me. Thank you for the friendship and kindness.

Thank you so much for being so wonderful!
Dear Rey and Nick,
Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of my mother, always, but especially during this very difficult time.
Dear Gladys,
We are so grateful to you and Bon Homie of Willowmont staff for the excellent care that you gave our mother in the final moments of her life. You were all so loving, kind and caring and we cannot thank you enough.
All our best.
Hi Rose,
Thinking of you and Michael. Hope you are staying healthy. Are you still studying or did you take test. Keep studying hard. My mother was proud of you and so am I.
Hi Gladys,
I have nothing but gratefulness since the moment I met you and all the staff at Lincoln and Pine, Willow Glen
Thank you
Dear Staff at Harmonie Home on Nesbit Court in Almaden,
I was so happy to find this assisted living facility for my mother Jane. I was so worried about finding people who would give my mother excellent and loving care. Rose and Michael went above and beyond to provide the required care and my mother felt they really cared for her as a person. Gladys was also very prompt in addressing any concerns I had. Overall, I was highly satisfied and will always be grateful to Rose and Michael for their loving care. I wish everyone could have this type of care for their loved ones.
My 95 year old mother has been living at Harmonie Home residential assisted living for almost one month.
I visited and toured several other facilities but wasn’t pleased. Then I was given the name of Gladys, the manager of several homes in their group. Out of the other large and small facilities I visited Gladys was the most welcoming and positive about my mothers care.
Together we decided on her Harmonie House in Almaden. Mom’s room is light, airy and has a nice patio door with a pool view. So far mom hasn’t complained to me about the food. Mom doesn’t like some of the personal care she needs. But, the staff know how to handle these issues.
My mother seems to be adjusting to her new situation although it’s up and down somedays.
The staff Rose, Michael, Lito and Joel attend to her many needs with gentle care and compassion. I have the most contact with Rose, she is very dedicated, accommodating and so very, very helpful!
So far I am giving Harmonie Home a 4.5 star rating. I will review my rating after a few months of mom’s care at Harmonie Home.
Dear Gladys,
Hope all is well with you
I spoke with Pia and Jona, and told them how pleased my sister and I were with Ralph and Violet’s stay at Bon Homie III, and Monette, Arnold and the team’s compassionate care for our parents
We were also pleased with Vitas Hospice Care (Jackie)
Thank you for your wonderful service and a big thank you to the Bon Homie III team
Take care
Hi Jona,
I want to thank you and all of the caregivers at Bon Homie III for the exceptional care that they have been giving my father, Ken. I am so grateful for the kind, compassionate, and thoughtful support from Monette and Arnold that bring such great comfort and joy to my father every day. Their loving and attentive care provides my father with the wonderful home he needs at this stage in his life.
On behalf of my entire family, thank you so much.
Cheers
Dear Floro, Lourdes, Ramil and Leo ( Gladys too!)
A Home at Shaw
My deepest gratitude to you all for everything you did for “D” and
continue to do. His care has been a blessing. I could not have done
it better and glad I had you on our TEAM!
Thanks Much – “C”
Since my first post about my 95 year old mother living at Harmonie Home, residential care living, my mother has passed, after being there about 4 1/2 months. I can’t say enough for the loving care Rose and her staff gave to my mom. My mother ended up being a unexpected handful. But, all the staff showed a tremendous compassion, dedication, physical care and patience, helping mom. Also, they worked with Hospice services. Rose also, was very kind and answered all our questions and kept us informed how mom was doing each day when we asked. With Covid it was a little difficult visiting mom. The room she had was bright, sunny and very clean, with a patio door. I could visit, masked by the door and eventually inside 6 ft away until the last 24 hours, I was able masked to visit mom and hold her hand while she was sleeping.
I would recommend Harmonie Home, Almaden for any others that are in need of residential care for their loved ones.
Omg, just got off the phone with Jack. He just had the most delicious and beautiful salad ever for lunch, he went on and on how great a cook Nick is. They also gave him a shower today. Thank you so much for the excellent staff you have.
August 13, 2022
I stayed for 1 1/2 months at BONHOMIE DWYER to recuperate from an accident at home.
I had a very pleasurable experience at Bonhomie Dwyer. The staff are very kind, caring and thoughtful. They are always ready to help with anything WITH A SMILE. They are very capable and do everything with a light touch and smile. This is very important when one is in recovering covered with bruises, unable to walk very well and dealing with a broken shoulder.
Everything is very clean, laundry is done everyday and everything is quickly cleaned up as soon as it indirtied.
The meals are well prepared and a variety of meals are served so that the menu doesn’t get boring. I will miss having my meals prepared and served daily tho.
This care was not only extended to me but also to every residents at Dwyer. Kind, thoughtful and service with a smile always. I will surely miss everyone here.

I just want to thank everyone at Harmonie Home for the special care they give my husband. Everyone is so friendly and they go out of there way to be sure he is comfortable. He has been there for about 4 months. Thank you all.
The Harmonie Home has been a blessing for our family. The kind and devoted care they give Dad is remarkable all while being professional and supportive.
I highly recommend this lovely private care home for anyone looking for a positive experience for their loved one.
For Home at Shaw
For Bonhomie Dwyer
My mother, Maria Bettencourt, has been battling dementia for eleven years. Myself and three siblings cared for her on weekends for eight years, using in-home caregiving on weekdays. It was a constant concern as the care, attention and safety provided by the hired caregivers was sorely lacking.
Maria has been in the care of BonHomie (A HOME AT SHAW) since August 17, 2019. BonHomie provides a clean, professional, loving environment for all their patients. Three healthy and nutritional meals are prepared daily. The caregivers pay particular care to the hygiene of all their patients.
Specifically, Lourdes and Floro have demonstrated loving care and affection for my mother. Myself and siblings are forever grateful!
It’s very comforting to know that a loved one, stricken with a horrible disease, is in a safe, clean and loving home.
My Dad was treated exceptionally well by the staff of Bonhomie of Willowmont. The home was always clean, organized and smelt fresh. The medication management was excellent. My dad enjoyed the home cooking and the quite safe neighborhood. They truly do practice consistent acts of kindness every day. The staff wen to extra effort to support my family thru a difficult time. I am very grateful we found them in our time of need and would highly recommend them.
Hi Gladys,
I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude for the exceptional care that Grace and Arnel have been providing to our beloved Barbara at Bonhomie Saratoga.
The transformation we have witnessed in her well-being and happiness since she transitioned to this facility two (2) months ago has been nothing short of remarkable.
From the moment she entered Bonhomie Saratoga, it became abundantly clear that she was in the hands of dedicated professionals who genuinely care about her welfare.
Under the compassionate and attentive care of Grace and Arnel, it is evident that the personalized attention and genuine affection she receives daily have had a profound impact on her overall well-being. The positive change in her demeanor is nothing short of a testament to the nurturing environment created by Grace and Arnel.
We are greatly grateful for the commitment, expertise and compassion that Grace and Arnel bring to Bonhomie Saratoga truly make it a home. Their dedication to enhance the quality of life for residents like Barbara is truly commendable. Knowing that our loved one is not only receiving excellent care but is also emotionally supported is a source of comfort and reassurance for our entire family.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Bonhomie Saratoga to anyone seeking top-notch memory and elder care and services. Grace and Arnel’s exceptional care has made a significant impact on Barbara’s life, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
With gratitude,
Steve and Heather Metz
For Bonhomie Dwyer
We would like to take a moment to show gratitude of how the BonHomie Group residential care home has been such a blessing not only for my father, but also for our entire family. Our situation was challenging from the start as my father was a completely healthy male in his early 80s until literally overnight things took a terrible turn. Because of unique difficulties that we had to address with our father, the first two locations that we had found, unfortunately, did not pan out. Lucky for us, the third time was definitely the charm.
From the very start working with the administrative staff we knew we had stumbled on something special. Dealing with them was nothing like our first two experiences. From there it only got better as our dad adjusted so quickly, and even more importantly, he became a much happier and healthier individual. Every single staff member goes over and beyond for their residents.
We are so very grateful that we found such a special home with the BonHomie Group.
