History of San Jose

With diverse cultural roots and a very long history, San Jose is the seat of Santa Clara County. It is the largest city in the San Francisco Bay area and the third-largest by population in California. Now, it is the greatest technological hub of the world and the capital of Silicon Valley.

The documented history of San Jose dates back to 1769 when the European settlers started to establish settlements here. Before the arrival of the European settlers, this area was occupied by several Ohlone Native American groups. With the founding of Presidio of Monterey by Junipero Serra in 1770 the first lasting European settlement came into existence in the area. In Late 1775 Juan Bautista de Anza started his expedition to bring New Spain or Mexican colonists to California. During his expeditions, he selected the now San Jose area in the Santa Clara Valley as a Pueblo or town settlement location. On 29 November 1777, Lieutenant Jose Joaquin Moraga established the town Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe and thus the city of San Jose came into existence. Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe was primarily established as a farming community to produce and supply agricultural products to the surrounding military establishments like presidios of San Francisco and Monterey. It was the first-ever of such civil establishments in Alta California.

In 1821 San Jose fell under Mexican Rule as a consequence of the Mexican separation from the Spanish crown. It continued to be under Mexican occupation till July 11, 1846, when Captain Thomas Fallon captured the town with a small army attacking from Santa Cruz during the Bear Flag Revolt. That was the formation of a very short-lived independent California Republic. But shortly after the Mexican – American War broke out the California Republic agreed to join the United States and Fallon raised an American Flag over the Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe on July 14. Later Fallon became the mayor of San Jose. In 1850 San Jose became the first state capital of California.

After being a small farming establishment for more than 130 years from its conception, with the advent of the twentieth century, technology started to arise in the region. But even till the mid-century, there was a significant amount of underdeveloped land there. Gradually after the Second World War, the region experienced rapid population growth along with technological progress. Due to these developments, the transition of San Jose from an agricultural center to an urbanized metropolitan area was taking place. Before that the San Jose and the overall Santa Clara Valley was so much rich in agricultural production that its nickname was “The Valley of Heart’s Delight”. The name originated due to the delightful aroma of ripening fruits emitting out of the Santa Clara orchards. But by the 1970s the urbanization, due to the rapid technological growth, had finally turned the “The Valley of Heart’s Delight” into Silicon Valley.

And by the 1990s the high tech electronics industry booming within San Jose gifted the city with the title of “Capital of Silicon Valley”. Now, although San Jose is considered to be a global city, it is beset with some grave problems like rapid population growth and the speedy rise of housing costs due to the lack of sufficient amount of housing facilities available in the city to cope with the massive flow of in-migration. In 2008, the population of San Jose surpassed 1,000,000 for the first time; and from 1976 to 2001, San Jose's housing costs increased by 936%. It is now the tenth-largest city by population in the United States. However, policymakers and related offices are deeply concerned and are constantly working to mitigate and neutralize these issues.

In Home Care Facilities in San Jose

“There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,

The earth, and every common sight,

To me did seem

Apparell'd in celestial light”.

-William Wordsworth

Here, the poet is talking about the youth. When the time is young life seems beautiful. Everything seems clad in energy and joy. But time gradually brings forth old age and life seems to fade away into insensitivity and lethargy. But life in old age now can also be lived completely alive! Yes, we know, that we cannot defeat death yet; along with some other physical illnesses that we may not be able to fully remove. But that doesn’t mean life has to halt all together with age. Even seniors may live a very socially engaging, happy, healthy and hearty life. But how much they can manage depends upon the care and support they get from the people around. Being a social being we have always been prone to receiving support and lending support to others. We have to acknowledge that at the very beginning and at the very end of our lives we end up needing to support the most.

San Jose in home care facilities and institutions are there to be that support to our San Jose seniors! Well developed and dedicated humanitarian care facilities are pivotal to the well-being of a whole town. A society is an integrated whole of various elements. If all the sectors of a society are not well taken care of then the whole of it can never be fine. That we know. Hence, our city, San Jose, has thousands of professional caregivers, hundreds of caregiving facilities, institutions and nursing houses both private and public in nature.

Department of Health Care Services, California Department of Public Health, California Department of Aging and Social Services Agency are the main government bodies engaged in facilitating, organizing and monitoring statewide elderly care services and support. They are providing many beneficial senior care services along with financial and legal assistance. They are working and co-operating among themselves and with all the private care facilities to cater to every possible need of the senior demographic of San Jose.

Attention has been rightly put on all the areas required. The Adult Day Health Care (ADHC), Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS), The Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services Program, Area Agencies on Aging, Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP), Local Multipurpose Senior Service Program (MSSP), Supportive Services Program, etc. are some of the highly effective programs run by these government bodies. Yet there remains a vast scope for other private elder care facilities to take part in enlivening the lives of San Jose seniors.

The population is increasing fast along with the number of seniors. To care for this growing number of seniors inadequate manner the private eldercare agencies have a very prominent role to play. However, we can proudly assert that whatever we have now and whatever may be our achievements are in this sector; they are in no way under minable. We have many well-formed and accomplished senior care facilities providing quality professional care here in San Jose and they are doing a great job.

Services provided are all-inclusive. Chore and personal care assistance, in-home care, elderly care, respite care, assisted living, housing assistance, meal services, transportation services, Meals on Wheels, communications services, and other social services. Comfort Keepers, however, has revolutionized the caregiving profession even more with its interactive caregiving approach.

With this large arsenal of facilities, it is definitely saddening that not all of our San Jose seniors are adequately taken care of. Not all get the opportunity to reach the best possible care and support available here. Some may lack proper knowledge or information and some may lack economic means. Whatever may be the reason; Comfort Keepers San Jose is dedicated to in home care and elevating the human spirit.
