To pitch your EEG headband for research, early data tracking, or a Phase I feasibility trial, standalone residential nursing homes are not your ideal starting target. Standard residential senior homes do not have internal research infrastructure, Principal Investigators (PIs), or IRB access to safely host a study investigating "dementia biomarkers". [1]
Instead, your strategy should target three distinct categories of facilities in California and Silicon Valley: Academic Memory Centers (who control the clinical trials), Research-Focused Senior Networks (corporate chains with clinical trial histories), and Local Silicon Valley Memory Care Facilities (for immediate, regional proximity).
These institutions handle the actual clinical trials, provide access to patient cohorts, and have embedded IRBs. They often look for non-invasive digital health tools.
These nationwide and statewide senior living operators actively partner with universities and tech companies to run observational and feasibility studies. [8, 9]
If you want to send localized LOIs within the Silicon Valley ecosystem to request pilot data collection partnerships, target these specialized memory care environments:
| Facility Name | Location / Address | Focus Area |
|---|---|---|
| Sonnet Hill Senior Living | 429 Meridian Ave, San Jose, CA | Dedicated Memory Care & Assisted Living |
| Ivy Park at San Jose | 4855 San Felipe Rd, San Jose, CA | Assisted Living and specialized cognitive tracking |
| Oakmont of Silver Creek | 3544 San Felipe Rd, San Jose, CA | High-end wellness tracking and cognitive care |
| Oakmont of San Jose | 917 Thornton Way, San Jose, CA | Localized multi-stage memory support |
| Sunol Creek Memory Care | 5980 Sunol Blvd, Pleasanton, CA | Purely focused on dementia/Alzheimer's residents |
