Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

My mom moved to Ivy Park a couple of months ago and so far, we've had a wonderful experience. The staff have been very kind, caring, and responsive. The facilities are very nice and well maintained. The dining is also nice, with good selection and good quality food. And the activities are also great.

I moved my parent's into Sunrise in 2018 having chosen it over other (and perhaps more fancy) places. The proximity to the restaurants and the Farmers Market on California St was a real draw. The amenities of Sunrise (the rooms, the common areas and the Dining Commons specifically) were very nice and, of course, the staff were always veyr friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend anyone looking for a forever home for their loved ones to age in place to consider Sunrise.

Note that the five star reviews have ZERO details. Did they pay for them or have their people do them? I had a relative live in this property and I wouldn't put anyone you care about here. They are HORRIBLE. They change staff frequently. The management was repeatedly dishonest. The food was a shame, but when relatives would visit, they'd put together a show that the residents didn't…

The care managers get 5 stars, they are an amazing bunch of people who really care about the residents. They are overworked, understaffed and I assume underpaid but do just an exceptional job providing loving care to the residents. Sunrise itself gets 2 stars. They do not have a solution at Palo Alto if your loved one is not appropriate for Assisted Living but cognitively not a fit for the Memory…
