The Contemporary Victorians
About
us: We are a boarding home for high functioning adults with mental
disabilities. We are located downtown San Jose, near shops, the new
Martin Luther King Library, San Jose State University and the upcoming
City Hall. There is easy access to buses, light rails and the trail station.
Many of the service providers such as the public Guardian's office, Psychiatrists,
case managers,Grace Community Center, hospital and medical offices are
located within minutes from the facility.
Semih & Nezih Sabankaya have owned and operated this facility since
1991. There are three Victorians that house about 62 residents.
Who do we take: We work with adults who do not have chemical dependency or alcohol abuse. Residents are expected to manage their own financial affairs, arrange their own transportation, and deal with most of there problems with minimum staff assistance.
Our philosophy:
We have been working in the mental health field since 1974. Our other family
member owns several licensed facilities and through working at these facilities
we have gained much of our experience.
The residents we serve have adopted us as their extended family and we
them. When treated with respect and dignity these people go a long way.
We believe that it is important to support their choice to live independently
as possible. With a little support now and then, most of these residents
can do it.
How to
contact us: We are located at 98 North 5th Street in San
Jose, California (95112). Our office number is (408)971-1124.
Most of our referrals come through the mental health agencies that know
our home and us. It would be advisable to use their assistance in finding
placement.
