Sunrise of Sunnyvale is an assisted-living community that also accepts guests for short-term or respite stays. Residents who need ongoing health oversight have access to diabetes management programs, regular physician visits, and scheduled physical therapy. Care plans are individualized, and the staff coordinates with external providers as needed so that routine monitoring and therapy sessions can happen on site without disrupting daily routines.

All apartments are equipped with an emergency call system that links directly to trained staff members, and the entire building is protected by a sprinkler system for fire safety. These measures operate around the clock, providing residents and their families with a consistent level of oversight and rapid response capability.

Accommodations range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger suites, some with kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, and window treatments. Units are air-conditioned and wired for cable TV and Wi-Fi, and housekeeping and laundry services are available. Several features—such as private outdoor patios, specific bathroom configurations, or proximity to parking—vary by apartment type, so not every residence includes every option.

Residents take most meals in the community’s restaurant-style dining room, where the culinary team prepares three daily menus with low-sodium, no-sugar, and other physician-approved choices. Healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day, guest meals can be arranged, and an all-day dining program allows residents who keep irregular schedules to eat when it suits them.

Daily life is supported by an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and landscaped outdoor areas approved for resident use. Scheduled social outings, arts and crafts, yoga, bingo, movie nights, and happy hour are all part of the calendar, and a swimming pool and wellness programs offer additional fitness options. For residents who enjoy structured engagement, clubs and community groups meet regularly on site or off-site.

Residents and their families say:

This community receives a mix of positive feedback for its clean and nice facilities, caring and attentive staff, and quality of food. Multiple reviewers have praised the community's efforts in providing excellent care, especially in its Memory Care Unit, where residents received much love, tenderness, and attention. The facility's cleanliness and safety measures are highlighted positively, with comments on the good condition of rooms and the variety of activities available to stimulate residents mentally and physically. The meals are generally well-received, with varied choices and restaurant-style service that both residents and visitors have enjoyed. The staff has been described as going out of their way to offer help and support, creating a friendly atmosphere that is welcoming for families.

However, some areas of concern have been mentioned across several reviews. There have been complaints about disorganization, particularly concerning communication and coordination within the nursing staff and with families. A few reviewers noted a 'hard landing' for new residents and families, indicating a lack of orientation or information on how things work within the community, causing frustration. Issues with activities not being as plentiful or engaging as expected have been raised, alongside billing problems which, although eventually resolved, caused inconvenience. Some residents felt the services did not match the cost, with a few mentioning that the community was on the expensive side. Concerns about adequacy of the care levels, particularly for those with specific physical or cognitive needs, have been expressed, along with wishes for a better social environment for residents who are more coherent and active. Despite these criticisms, many affirm the staff's dedication to resident well-being and would still recommend this community to others, citing the comprehensive care and positive environment as significant advantages.
