“Everyone is so kind, caring and helpful at Sunnyvale Sunrise from above the line to below the line. My Mother loves the food and enjoys the activities and the friendships she’s developed. Highly recommend. The staff is sensitive to all the needs of both the resident and their families and are easy to communicate with!”

“Awesome help with hosting a 100th birthday party!! Special praise to Rosalba for making this a special and memorable time. Family members that came from Hawaii and Oregon and locally were treated to balloons, cake, ice cream and song in a semi-private setting to honor our matriarch on her 100th!”

“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.

About these figures

Computed on October 22, 2026 from the 10 communities listed in Sunnyvale, 202 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
