Review for Sunrise of San Mateo

Staff are very warm and welcoming Having issues with the billing part of things but working with them directly. We would recommend. It was smaller and a good fit for our mom

Our 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.

A 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 visited this facility

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.
