He was incredibly thorough during our tour--no rushing, no skipping over details. He patiently answered every question and made sure we clearly understood how the community operates. His calm, knowledgeable presence immediately built trust. The CNAs and nurses were equally impressive. They were attentive, compassionate, and consistently greeted residents with genuine smiles. What really stood out was how client-centered they were. Every staff member we passed made eye contact, said "hello," and acknowledged each resident by name--as if each person truly mattered. It's rare to find a place where excellent care, kindness, and professionalism all come together so naturally. This community exceeded our expectations in every way, and we left feeling confident, grateful, and comforted knowing that residents here are treated with dignity and heartfelt care.

It has taken me some time to leave a review because I've been so upset over the way this facility…read morehandled a situation. Our 88-year-old mother was referred to this "beautiful" and highly recommended rehab facility in November of 2024 and spent 20 days there. It has a very low staff to patient ratio and my mother didn't get the care that she needed. She used her call button often if we weren't there with her and often needed repositioning. One of her complaints was that the call button was often placed out of her reach at nighttime. My family and I split time at the facility and were there 8-10 hours a day. We saw the doctor one time during those three weeks. It often took a number of days to get medication changed and implemented. Nurses and CNA are overworked and understaffed, therefore, toileting and dispensing medication was often late. My mother developed a horrible bed sore that we are still dealing with to this day. I'm well aware of the issues plaguing these types of facilities, but this experience was beyond disturbing. On my mother's last day there she told us about an "issue" from the night before with one of the CNAs. I immediately went to the director of nursing to inform them. The directors of nursing and administration hopped on the complaint immediately and interviewed with my mom with me present. My mother was able to articulate exactly what she told me when interviewed by the directors. I left at 3:30 PM and told the staff I would return at 5:30 PM to help her with dinner. As I was on my way back to the facility, I received a phone call that my mother was being transported to the ER on a 5150. During the course of the facility's due diligence, the Los Altos police department was called to come interview my 88-year-old bed-bound mother with no family present with her. I would have had no issue with it, save for the fact that there was no communication to the family that would happen as the outcome of the complaint, or I otherwise would not have left. My mother has always been a very timid and non-confrontational person and having two imposing men in dark uniform with guns on their belts come into her room made her anxious and frightened therefore she made some concerning statements, which is understandable. I also understand the need to 5150 someone when appropriate. The hospital never issued a 5150 and my mother's medication was changed, as needed. This change could have been done at the facility if the doctor was present half the time they said they would be and/or would have communicated with us in a timely manner. Granted, it was a blessing to get her out of there and home with us. It's unfortunate that some facilities have the reputation they do, but understaffing and lack of communication with a "non-present" doctor is the common denominator. This place was a horrible experience.

Despite the natural challenges of recovery, the experience was genuinely positive. 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. 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. Thank you again to everyone at Sunnyvale Garden for making my mom's rehab stay as pleasant and supportive as possible.

We've learned a few things about skilled nursing facilities. Those near hospitals tend to be bedlam since there's a lot of short term patients who walk the halls. It's difficult to get a long term bed in a place like this. We tried to go to the three places that are within half a mile of our house but we're also close to two hospitals, so it was no go. Sunny View is connected with a memory care and an independent (and assisted) living facility. So it's much easier to get a long term bed, and the place truly is calmer and quieter. The food is better. The staff can provide more attention. The grounds are lovely. There's a very nice central patio area with lots of shade where people can hang out. I'm hoping we can convince his mom to do PT/OT so we can get her outside a bit. Like most people over a certain age, she's depressed that her body doesn't do what she wants it to, and we can only tell her that PT and OT will help with that. But she's content and we're glad she was able to get a bed near a window with a good view.

While moving into a senior community was a big adjustment, my Dad has come to really appreciate it and generally, every resident I talk to seems very happy at the Forum (you should ask residents you see how they like it when you visit). Some of the other benefits I've seen about the Forum are: * Management and management structure - The Executive Director (Nancy is great) and her management team and the staff are friendly and genuinely care about the residents, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the service provided. Additionally, the Forum is a non-profit benefit corp and is run somewhat like an HOA where the owners/residents have the ability to substantially influence overall policy and items important to them (e.g. food, entertainment, services, etc.). One key difference from a normal HOA is that the owners have the time and desire to make this model work as it requires participation to do so. * The naturally beautiful setting of Rancho San Antonio that surrounds the Forum - While not everyone takes advantage of all the hiking trails, just being in nature provides a relaxing, healthy setting. This is quite different from some of the senior centers that are in more urban settings. * Health facilities, library, ample activity spaces, planned activities (movies, presentations, etc,) and excursions (off site), many grassroots activity groups...uhh a wood shop? keep things more interesting while the services free residents up from the daily challenges (cooking, cleaning, etc.) and give them more time to enjoy. * Full continuum of care - You start of in independent living in a condo unit or stand-alone villa. Should your health needs and ability to live independently change, they have skilled nursing and assisted living facilities right there as well as a new memory care facility (on a fee for service basis after you sell your independent living unit). * Very pet friendly with many folk owning dogs, cats, other critters and visiting pets welcome. * Resident happiness - Perhaps the most important gauge is that I'm still surprised at the general level of satisfaction I sense from the residents ... and I visit pretty regularly. If your family is looking into senior living communities, check the Forum out!

Following four back-to-back admissions at Stanford University Medical Center, my current client ended up staying in three SNFs, one after the other, from October 2023 to February 2024. Based on our experience, of the three top-tier facilities that he had stayed in, The Forum at Rancho San Antonio is the undisputed creme de la creme. It's not perfect (as no organization is), but it's the best and the only place that I would recommend to a client or a loved one if s/he lives in Northern California. Aside from its enviable location - the feeling that one's staying in a nature reserve - The Forum's key differentiating proposition is its people. They know what they're doing and why they're doing it: to improve the health and the well-being of its residents. I am very hands-on in my approach to patient care so I spent almost as much time as my client during his more than two-month stay at The Forum at Rancho San Antonio. I was there with him for an entire day, from breakfast to dinner, and during his therapy sessions, every single day for over 60 days. The only thing I didn't do was spend the night there. So one could say that I have some intimate knowledge about why this place ticks. It is the affability, creativity, perseverance and good humor of its Admission & Marketing Director Sabrina, its Rehab Director Ratika (who assembled the best team of PTs, OTs and ST under one roof!), its Health Center Administrator, its Social Worker Chandra, its Dietician, its Director of Nursing Tess and her wonderful team of caring and knowledgeable nurses (especially MJ, Caroline, Karen, Gladys, Fili & Teresita) & their assistant Annie, its CNAs (especially Joy, Judith, Margarita, Yodith and Amansale), its Activity coordinators Alice & Lourdes, its Kitchen crew (especially Eva) and its EMS staff. And yes, the food at The Forum at Rancho San Antonio is delicious. My client, who owned a famous restaurant back in the day, never complained about the meals and snacks while he was a resident there.

If you're looking for a caregiving service that truly understands what it means to care, I can't recommend Starlight highly enough.
