Sunrise of San Mateo

My Mom has been at Sunrise of San Mateo since February of this year. (2026) I cannot adequately express how caring, dedicated and kind the staff is. And not just to the residents which is a big enough job in itself, but also to the family members of the residents. Each and every day, they show up and give 100%, if not more. In the 5 months that my Mom has been there, the staff has come to feel like our extended family. From the warm and welcoming greetings from the front desk staff, the caring nursing team that constantly keeps me updated on how my Mom is doing and strive to take the best possible care of each of the residents, the dining room staff who always have a smile on their faces, the kitchen staff, cooks and the Dining Services Coordinator who work hard to prepare nutritious meals for the residents, the Admin team who always make themselves available to answer any questions, no matter how small (or silly) and who keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes and the Activities Director who plans such diverse, interesting and FUN activities for the residents, Sunrise of San Mateo truly is top notch! I always look forward to going there, not only to see my sweet Mom, but also to see all of the other residents and the staff, too. It absolutely means everything to me that when my friends and co workers ask me how my Mom is doing at Sunrise, I can confidently say that my Mom is doing GREAT and really thriving at Sunrise. I chose Sunrise for my Mom after touring at least 6 different senior living places, because it felt really warm and welcoming and homey. And every day since she moved in, I can honestly say that I still feel that way and more importantly, my Mom feels that way about Sunrise, too. I am forever grateful.

Mom needed more care so we looked at 6+ places in the area and was very impressed by Sunrise during our visit. The staff and residents were all friendly and welcoming, and the place has a really strong community feeling. A few months later now and all dimension have exceeded our expectations. The dining services accommodated Mom’s dietary restrictions. She is so well cared for round-the-clock. Most of all, they are patient, warm, and often just stop in to chat with Mom. Sunrise has far exceeded our expectations!

I highly recommend this assisted living community. The staff are kind, compassionate, and truly care about the residents’ well-being. The facility is clean, welcoming, and provides a safe and comfortable environment. The caregivers are attentive, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to make residents feel valued and respected. Communication with families is excellent, and it’s clear they treat everyone like family. Thank you for providing such wonderful care and peace of mind!

Three years ago, my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and I realized I needed to find a special place where he would be happy and well cared for. After looking at multiple facilities, I found Sunrise of San Mateo! They have a special wing dedicated for Alzheimer’s, and my husband was happy, comfortable, and engaged in activities. The staff is top notch! I am happy my husband received such love and respect at this facility, and we will never forget Sunrise’s kindness to him.
