Sunrise of Cupertino in Sunnyvale, CA delivers three levels of residential care: Independent Living for those who want a maintenance-free lifestyle, Assisted Living for residents who need daily support, and Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. The Memory Care program is equipped to manage early to advanced dementia conditions, and staff are trained to redirect or supervise residents who wander during either the day or night. This tiered model lets residents remain in the same community even if their care needs change over time.
Comprehensive medical oversight underpins the community’s services. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site around the clock, and an awake night staff monitors residents while door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, and security personnel help prevent unsupervised exit. Clinical protocols cover oxygen management, special diets, and diabetic care—whether oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens. The therapy room supports rehabilitative services, and caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating. Transfer help ranges from steadying a walker user to performing a Hoyer-lift or bed-bound move, accommodating one-person or two-person assists as required. Pull-cord alerts and personal emergency response systems route calls directly to staff 24 hours a day.
Accommodation choices include suites with private bathrooms, and some apartments feature kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, or the option to paint and decorate. Cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are provided. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts during a tour.
Dining is prepared to match individual needs. Residents may order meals on demand, request snacks at any hour, or dine privately in their rooms. A separate private dining room is available for family gatherings. The culinary team manages diet modifications, including mechanical-chopped and puréed textures, and staff can feed residents who require full assistance.
Community amenities cover resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and scheduled transportation, with nearby public transit for added convenience. On-site offerings include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, and spaces for special-interest clubs and religious services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Internet access is provided throughout the property, helping residents stay connected.
