Sunnyside Gardens

I moved my father here from another facility which was not meeting his needs, and right away I could see how special Sunnyside Gardens is:
— Clean and comfortable facility with lots of natural light and pleasant places to sit and watch what’s going on
— large and pleasant rooms with private bath. You can opt for a private room or to share, to lower the cost
— 3 levels of assisted living care, including memory support
— wonderful staff.
The caregivers engaged my father with respect, care, and kindness. Even when he was unpleasant, they were patient and helpful. They worked as a team to cover the needs, change hands when needed in order to succeed in guiding the residents, etc. Right after he moved in, they were able to coax him into a shower (the other facility has been unable/​unwilling to do this during the three months he was there)
The driver was very gentle and positive, and could get my father out to appts where I had a difficult time.
The entire staff was friendly, caring, and personable. Everyone knew my dad, and knew who I was. When I arrived to visit, staff would point out where my dad was (even caregivers from the other unit!). The staff has a Can Do attitude – whatever help I needed for my dad, they tried to find a way to make it happen.
— great food. My father faced about the meals, and regained 10 pounds in 2 months. I enjoyed the meals I ate with him – well planned, attractive and delicious.
My father considered Sunnyside Gardens to be his home. I’m grateful that he had such a pleasant, peaceful environment where he felt secure and at home. I’m thankful that he was surrounding by caring and skilled staff, who truly enjoyed and cared for my father.

Wonderful mid-​sized place – combines best of a board and care home’s intimacy and the professionalism of a larger facility. My mother-​in-​law, who lived in the memory care unit, was cared for in dignity until the end of her life by a caring staff. Clean, lots of activities to keep residents active and engaged, good medication management and family communications. Owners even have one of their own elderly relatives living there, which says a lot about their standards. Having dealt with many different living arrangements in two different states, Sunnyside Gardens was the best. I highly recommend it.

Sunnyside Gardens was a great place for mom. The staff was very thoughtful and treated her with much kindness, even though she did not show much appreciation. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
They have many activities for all levels of participation and offer scenic drives with with a very personable driver. Their medical staff and caregivers are very attentive and gave mom the best of care. Mom’s room had a garden view and the dinning room is very pleasant.
I feel very fortunate we found Sunnyside Gardens. I would highly recommend the facility to anyone.

Anna, I understand that being the Executive Director of Sunnyside that you would want to oppose our negative comments. I stand by what I have posted and have seen just how different my father is in his new community. It’s amazing how the new loving, caring, attentive staff has been able to make my father feel right at home. They have done in 1 week what your facility couldn’t do in 9 months, bathe and shave him. I would really encourage anyone that is considering placing a loved one in an assisted living home to do their homework and go to the Community Care Licensing office to view the public records for the community being considered. You will be amazed at what you will find out. By law, Assisted Living Communities have to have a copy of all «Plan of Corrections» reports available for public review for 3 years. Keep this in mind when visiting different homes. Good luck!

After visiting about 6 Assisted Living facilities in Santa Clara county.
We were fortunate to find Sunnyside Gardens. Our mother’s needs
had become to the point of needing professional help. Upon entering Sunnyside
Gardens we knew this was were mom would live. SSG is bright, super clean
and the staff wonderful. It’s a team effort to care for the residents. Our
Mom could not be happier there.

My Mom has been staying at Sunnyside Gardens for the past year. She’s doing really well there. The staff is great, very caring, and supportive. There are lots of activities, and the staff makes everyone feel welcome. I think because it’s a smaller facility the residents get more personal care, and it seems like everyone knows them by name. I’ll sit with my Mom and everyone that walks by will say hello, and most call her by name. She just smiles. I know shes doing well because of the care she’s receiving. A great place for your loved one.

I definitely recommend Sunnyside Gardens for elder care. My 94 year old mother, a sweetie with Alzheimers, is finally in a place where she’s content and engaged in a constant stream of activities with caring and patient staff. The facility is sunny, spotless and pleasant for family members to visit, and there is always some creative event going on to keep the residents stimulated and entertained. Staff seem very special and well suited to the challenge of their jobs. I am grateful!
