Sunrise of San Mateo

Sunrise was one of 4 facilities my brother in law and I toured in San Mateo for my sister who was needing a lot of assistance for dementia. First impressions are important and Sunrise did not disappoint and continues to impress me after her living here for a year and a half. The facility itself is beautiful, comfortable, spacious, clean, stately, yet “homey”. The staff is welcoming and professional and make every effort to address emotional and physical needs. Daily communication with the staff is well received with timely and positive feedback with all concerns. The transition from assisted care to memory care was handled with sensitivity and wisdom from the staff which was extremely helpful. The meals prepared are well balanced and provide a variety of choices for residents. The Staff works hard at assisting individual needs and creating a positive meal time experience for each person. Many different activities are provided daily with an emphasis on music appreciation, and group participation like bingo and word games. Sunrise has helped ease worry and concern for my sister in many ways which we continue to be very grateful.

Although I do not have a family member at Sunrise, I have been genuinely impressed with this community. I’ve been visiting for several weeks with my toddler every Saturday morning for Teacher Steven’s music class, and the level of care at Sunrise is admirable. Some of the residents join the class, and it’s clear how well they are cared for—the staff is always attentive, hands-on, and ensures everyone is comfortable, engaged, and happy. The manager personally welcomed the children with snacks and balloons, and even made sure parents had coffee. The facility itself is spotless, beautiful, and welcoming. I’ve truly enjoyed coming every week with my toddler, and if I ever needed senior living in the future, Sunrise would be at the very top of my list.

My dad moved to Sunrise last year after attempting to live on his own after my Mom passed away. He was forgetful, lonely and needed support. Sunrise has been a great community for him. The staff is friendly and caring. I really appreciate the reminders provided to my dad regarding daily outings and activities. The staff makes an extra effort to come and get my dad so he doesn't miss out. The staff has also been very sensitive to my dad's changing needs. He needs more support as his condition changes and they have been wonderful in recognizing his changing needs and responding to me when I think he needs more support in a particular area. My dad is content with his life at Sunrise and I have piece of mind that he is safe and enjoying his days.

August 2025 Chris Sbragia We had private care for my mom Marie at home (home helpers) it was a disaster. I got in touch with Sunrise as my dad was there quite a while ago. We were so pleased with them. We had to wait a bit for an opening as soon as they had one we moved her in right away. Surprisingly her transition from home to Sunrise was amazing it was like she had been there all along. The staff is remarkable and so accommodating. Believe me l've been in contact with them almost daily. They send me updates and pictures of her often. My brother and I are so amazed and grateful for them it's hard to explain I could keep on going. Chris Sbragia
