Idylwood Care Center

Idylwood Care Center in Sunnyvale, California is a skilled nursing facility that provides care for individuals with complex medical and behavioral needs. The campus includes the Courtyard at Idylwood, a 106-bed skilled nursing facility, and the Gardens at Idylwood, a 66-bed nursing and rehabilitation building offering short-term rehabilitation and extended stay services.

The facility offers neurobehavioral programs designed to treat geriatric populations and those with neurological trauma. Care emphasizes person-centered approaches where individuals actively participate in managing their mental health and making choices that promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The Courtyard at Idylwood specifically serves those with combined medical and behavioral needs, aiming to stabilize symptoms and reduce acute hospitalizations.

The Gardens at Idylwood provides rehabilitation services including post-joint replacement care, stroke rehabilitation, fall prevention, arthritis treatment, activities of daily living retraining, and speech-language pathology addressing communication, cognition, and swallowing issues. The facility also offers traditional therapeutic gym services alongside alternative therapeutic modalities that integrate normal daily activities into the rehabilitation process.

The campus features extensive outdoor spaces and gardening programs. Residents can harvest produce from vegetable gardens and tend to flower gardens and rose gardens. The facility includes three large outdoor patios with shaded seating and dining areas, a wheelchair-accessible garden with elevated planters, and a homelike dining room with residential kitchen equipment where residents participate in self-prompted meal preparation and structured group cooking activities led by a staff chef.

Idylwood Care Center was recognized by the California Association of Health Facilities for excellence in programming, including the Idylwood Olympics, which integrated competitive sports activities into daily community life. The parent organization, Crestwood Behavioral Health Inc., holds accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
