VerifiedOur experience
What we like the most about the community is their caring and compassionate staff. Team spirit all the way around. Clean and well maintained facility. I lost both my parents this year and their final stay was at Sunrise San Mateo. We watched how the Sunrise team and hospice worked closely together to care for my parents during their last months of life. They were also tremendous support to me and my family.

VerifiedA good fit and a smooth transition
They really have a dream team at Sunrise San Mateo. Cheerful, present, welcoming. My sister was visiting from the east coast and they knew her name and resident, like within 3 hours. They make a great, positive effort.

I toured Sunrise of San Mateo. Everyone I met had been there at least five to ten years, and that's very good, because they don't have a lot of staff turnover. The facilities were clean and neat. The rooms were set up nicely, and the staff seemed very good.

Excellent care from this facility
My mom lived at Sunrise San Mateo for almost 8 years. I could not have asked for better care for her. She was always treated with dignity, even when moved to the memory care floor. The staff is incredibly caring and would always update me on her condition. I am grateful for their kindness and compassion for her care.

Recommend!
My mother has been living at Sunrise San Mateo for one year and it has been an absolute amazing experience for her and her family! They were so welcoming and creative early on to ensure my mother was comfortable and accepting. They went above and beyond with her and the family in communicating and coordinating. The staff is all wonderful! The greetings from all the staff members when you walk in to the care they provide to all the residents. The activity team is hands down amazing too! They really know how to engage the residents throughout the day and ensure participation. I highly recommend Sunrise!

My mother has been here for almost 6 years. The care she has received has been excellent. I am able to relax because I know my mom is in great hands. They communicate with me thoroughly. The staff is terrific. The food is good. The events they have for holidays are enjoyable. The entertainment for the residents is also very good.

Sunrise of San Mateo is EXCELLENT!
I have been extremely pleased with the level of thoughtful care, attention and supervision that my mother has received by the team of caregivers at Sunrise of San Mateo! My mother, who is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease, wheelchair bound and cannot care for herself, has resided in the Reminiscence memory care area for nearly 5 years. Sunrise of San Mateo's Reminiscence program provides a caring, comfortable, and secure home like environment for adults experiencing moderate to advanced memory loss. The team of caregivers are trained, caring individuals that provide my mother with the thoughtful care and attention she requires and needs. I am thankful that my mother resides at Sunrise of San Mateo and find it comforting that she is surrounded by people that are thoughtful, capable, caring, well trained and genuinely invested in the well being of their residents!
