Great area/neighborhood. Safe facility. Staff is generally helpful and friendly. All therapists are knowledgeable and skilled, most are professional, as well. All leadership and administrative staff are approachable and accessible. Due to being highly involved in the treatment plan and communicative with the healthcare team, we got fairly good results with this facility and had a fairly positive experience with the staff.

Recently, my mom underwent hip surgery, and after being discharged from the hospital, she spent some time at Sunnyvale Garden Rehab. Despite the natural challenges of recovery, the experience was genuinely positive.<br><br>The facility is bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed with lovely gardens where both patients and families can relax. The staff were consistently professional and kind, and the management took the time to reach out to us as family members to ensure we were comfortable and heard.<br><br>Overall, I’d give the experience a solid 4.5 stars. The only small area for improvement would be the food options. My mom is Asian, and we noticed there weren’t many Asian-flavored meals available. With more and more Asian patients enrolling, adding a bit more variety in that area could make the experience even better.<br><br>Thank you again to everyone at Sunnyvale Garden for making my mom’s rehab stay as pleasant and supportive as possible.

My brother was admitted to Sunnyvale Gardens end of April 2025, for rehab from a stroke. He was bed ridden, unable to get out of bed, paralysed on his left arm & legs, severe wound on his left calf, with bed sores & very weak. During his 7-weeks stay there, he recovered miraculously, he was walking on his own using a cane, wounds all clear & was discharged to his home where he was mostly independent. We owe his dramatic healing journey from the excellent care he received from PT/OT, nurses, wound care, CNAs, nurse practitioners! They are empathetic, compassionate, and selfless medical team. Our family is ever grateful!
