A great place for Mom

My mother was previously a resident at Sunrise of Sunnyvale and everything was great for her at this facility! It was a great experience. The facility is modern and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The cleanliness was great. The care services, meals and value for cost were also great. I would highly recommend Sunrise of Sunnyvale to family and friends.

Competent , affectionate dementia care

[na me removed] passed with severe dementia at 91. She protested with loud verbal abuse when changed or lifted. Care givers understood and always treated her with love and affection. Thank you Sunrise care givers and management for your competent caring affection.. we always felt she was in good hands when we left.

Sunrise of Sunnyvale gave us a great tour and everyone was very nice, but based off of what we saw we just did not think like it seemed like it would be a good fit for my loved one and what we were looking for.

Review for 4+years of caring

Our family chose this facility after doing several visits to other comparable facilities. When your loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer you have several choices of assistance. Since we could not keep him home with a caregiver we chose moving him to a care facility. After visiting many facilities we decided it was extremely important to have on sight medical care so his doctor could interact with the facility without transporting Dad to Other facilities.

Our family had an in person tour and even though it was not going to be the best fit for our loved one the facility itself was beautiful and the gal giving us the tour was great. Their outside area was just not as big as we would of liked.

My Mother’s Wonderful Time Living At Sunrise of Sunnyvale

My mother, [name removed], lived her final 5 years of her life at Sunrise of Sunnyvale. She passed at the age of 102. She was an active social person. She was liked by everyone both residence and staff. They provided everything she needed, food activities, walking security and many other things. They took great care of her during her stay. Her family was happy to find a place where we did not have to worry about her care and happiness.

Huge relief to have my loved ones well cared for.

They moved in during Covid, and there weren't any activities going on at the time. But now that those restrictions are gone, there are still no activities going on, other than taking residents out for a walk if the weather is nice. But my biggest complaint is - it was a really hard landing. They didn't really acquaint us with how things worked and how best to communicate with the staff and what to expect as far as transition for my loved ones. It required me to be constantly calling them to get information. I thought there would have been an orientation for the families. And I thought I saw in their material that there were family meetings they hold periodically. But none have occurred yet. On the other hand, the place is very clean. I feel my mom is very safe there. My stepfather loves the food. My mother not so much, but she was pickier even eating the food I cooked her. The biggest thing was that hard landing. We've also had some billing issues that took over two months to resolve. But that has gotten resolved now. Would I recommend people put their parents here? Absolutely. You can rest assured that your loved ones will be well cared for. And that has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. But I hope that they can develop some sort of orientation for the family regarding how things work and what to expect. And I would also like to see some improvements in their communication.

Terrible experience

It was not a good experience. They accepted my mom after looking at her medical history and then they told us that they could not handle her. She ended up getting kicked out and they are taking no responsibility for it. They are still trying to charge me even for the days that she was not there. The whole thing was not handled well at all by the facility and I would not recommend them to others. It was a nightmare.

Our experience at Sunrise

We chose Sunrise of Sunnyvale at the time because it was my mother in laws first choice because she knew other people who were here. Everyone here is extremely nice, but it seems somewhat disorganized and I think that the nursing staff could use some improvement on communication to families. Due to our experience, we would not recommend them to others. We feel she is safe but it is just not the right fit for us.

A Place for Mom has scored Sunrise of Sunnyvale 9.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
