It has been a long process involving arborists, engineers, planners, and City of Saratoga permits...but all approvals have been received.  We are proud to announce that work on our redesigned parking lot will begin in the July 2016 time frame.  The new design will add eleven new parking spaces...good news to our residents and visitors.  We anticipate that construction on the project will take roughly 6 weeks and should be completed by the end of summer.

February 17th delivered a whopper of a storm to the greater San Jose area...including Saratoga.  High winds and rain knocked power out for much of the area.  Not a problem for the staff and residents of Our Lady of Fatima Villa.  Emergency generators and a "can-do" attitude meant that meals and compassionate care continued as regularly as possible!  Hats off to our terrific staff!

The JewelTones is a versatile group of 10 Bay Area women who perform songs from the turn of the (20th) century through the 1950s with an emphasis on the great old songs of the 40s.

The Fabulous JewelTones performed for residents of Our Lady of Fatima Villa in their Va Va Voom Red  Costumes.  The residents loved the performance!

Every month, the staff of Our Lady of Fatima Villa "competes" for the Good Housekeeping Award.  This is a coveted and competitive prize that recognizes cleanliness and attention to detail.  For the month of January 2016, the St. Rose team captured the honor.  This is a happy event, celebrated with a lunch and fellowship.  Congratulations St. Rose!

Hear the nice things one visitor (Sister Peggy, Order of the Sisters of the Holy Names) has to say about Our Lady of Fatima Villa:

"I come to Fatima every Thursday.   I feel it's a very warm and caring place.  Our Sisters are very well taken care of.  The Sisters feel very much at home here. The rooms are beautiful. The people are so nice, especially the ones that take care of the residents."  Sister Peggy, Sisters of the Holy Names 

Beloved resident Marilyn White will exhibit some of her artwork next Friday, February 12 beginning at 3pm at Our Lady of Fatima Villa.  Marilyn is a local celebrity and was honored as Saratoga's First Citizen of the Year.  She is currently a very involved resident of Our Lady of Fatima Villa.

It is an honor to be selected as "Resident of the Month" at Our Lady of Fatima Villa.  Someone certainly deserving is this month's honoree, Sister Mary Ann Stark. She is a positive and joyous leader of our extended family.  Congratulations Sister Mary Ann!

When we say we feel like a family here at Our Lady of Fatima Villa -- we mean it!  So, when one of our's is having a baby -- we all feel like we are part of the celebration!  Our Rehab guru -- Niha is expecting soon.  So, it was only fitting that we throw a baby shower for her.  Good food, lovely gifts and good fellowship showed Niha and her little one that we send heartfelt congratulations!

"Great Food, Great Venue".  "Thanks for hosting us".  Those were the comments heard from attendees at the Senior Roundtable held at Our Lady of Fatima Villa on January 21.  It was a full house, the largest attendance in some time for the monthly meeting.  A full breakfast was served...eggs, sausage, bacon, fruit, juices, coffee, breakfast breads...and it was delicious!

The speaker was Jaime Fearer who spoke on Vision Zero: How Seniors Play an Important Role in New Goals for Traffic Safety
