Key Review Excerpts

The support staff and dining crew at Sunrise, always spend efforts to make my father comfortable and acknowledged as a person. I am very grateful to all of them. I’m extremely disappointed at upper management who is unresponsive and appears uncaring to residents family.

Family of a resident · 2026★★★★★

Our loved one has been in 3 different communities in the last 7 years and Sunrise of Cupertino is by far the best. The staff are attentive and the food is amazing. Chris the chef takes great care in everything he does and he puts on the best brunches ever!

Family of a resident · 2026★★★★★

This residence is poorly run from the top down. I visited my family member almost daily for over a year. I observed a lot. Poor hiring, understaffed, poorly trained, poor communications between families and med techs, between families care staff, between families care staff, it all seems to be ad hoc which makes training new hires difficult and the care given to residents very inconsistent.
