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.

The care team at Sunrise San Mateo has been very helpful to my mother. Her caregivers assist her with compassion and respect. In addition to the caregivers, special thanks to Joanne, Teresa, Sanjay, and Dania. They consistently approach their work with an extra warmth and kindness, which is contagious throughout the facility and spreads a welcoming atmosphere.

I had a very positive experience with Sunrise of San Mateo Senior Living. Their team was punctual, attentive, and consistently thorough in everything they did. They were also very accommodating and made the whole process feel smooth and well organized. What stood out the most was how helpful they were in addressing concerns and offering practical solutions to the issues we discussed. They took the time to listen carefully and provided thoughtful guidance, which made a big difference. Communication was excellent throughout. The staff was very responsive and easy to reach whenever questions came up, and they kept us informed every step of the way. Overall, the team was professional, supportive, and clearly dedicated to providing great service.

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.
