It would be difficult to imagine a more perfect setting for making the most of one's senior years than at Vintage Silver Creek in the Evergreen Valley area of San Jose. Surrounded by more than three-and-a-half acres of exquisitely manicured grounds, gardens and walking paths, Silver Creek also offers an inviting wraparound porch terrace, sunroom and 24-hour bistro.

Area medical facilities include Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Regional Medical Center of San Jose and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Local retail stores and services are close by. Eastridge Mall and Santana Row offer an abundance of dining and shopping opportunities. Cultural, recreational and entertainment venues include the San Jose Jazz Festival, San Jose Museum of Art, Hellenic Heritage Museum, San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, and the fascinating exhibits at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.
