Levels of Memory Care

Sunol Creek offers two care neighborhoods, each designed to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our residents.  With just 20 residents per neighborhood, we are unique in providing a safe and manageable neighborhood size that balances supervision with ample interaction among residents, staff and activities specialists.

Memory Care – Our “South” Neighborhood offers personalized care for those coping with early to mid-stage dementia or Alzheimer’s. 

Enhanced Memory Care – Our “North” Neighborhood offers more intense medical care, complex medication management and is specifically designed to meet the needs of those with significant medical ailments and/or later stage cognitive impairment. 

Health Services

The staff at Sunol Creek includes our Medical Director, Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs).  Our medical staff considers the resident physician’s report, medication list, and preplacement appraisal for more appropriate personal care plans.  Initial care plan are drafted by our resident care coordinator and health services director and our care plans are updated 30 days after move in and within every six months or a change in condition.  We present care plans to families during family care conferences and welcome their input. 

Sunol Creek’s medication management program is run by our Health Services Director. We staff LVNs at every shift, and we are able to accommodate higher needs residents with wound care, catheter care, diabetes, high blood pressure as well as complex medication management. 

Activities and our Award Winning SPARK Program

It is easy to identify the limits of Alzheimer’s and dementia, but through our partnership with the Center for Applied Research in Dementia, we prefer to focus on what our residents can still do, and the abilities they bring to our Community.  Sunol Creek, via its unique SPARK program, offers residents a variety of Montessori Method inspired activities as well as traditional social activities, outings, and community initiatives.  

Meals on Wheels, Kids Against Hunger, and reading to preschool kids are also some of the events that our residents participate in.  Recently, we had an Elvis impersonator come to the community for a performance, and the residents loved it.  Our furry visitors, including a St. Bernard that has earned the affectionate nickname, “Burt the Flirt”, are always a big hit! 

One of the highlights of our community is our restaurant-quality meals.  Our On-Site Executive Chef prepares a wide variety of entrees from our general menu but also offers additional selections for residents who may want to have something different.

Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a reputation for its exceptional care, particularly in memory care, where staff members exhibit a high degree of compassion and clinical expertise. The community stands out for its thoughtful design, allowing residents to enjoy a sense of freedom and access to outdoor spaces, which is often highlighted as a critical consideration by families looking for memory care options. A unique aspect of this community is its staff's understanding and handling of dementia, with personalized attention that respects each resident's individuality. Families have expressed immense gratitude for the compassionate and professional care their loved ones receive, noting that the staff's dedication significantly eases the emotional burden of placing a family member in care.
However, some reviews pointed out areas for improvement, such as the desire for more activities, though this is seen to be addressed with the introduction of a new activities director. The high cost of care was mentioned by a few reviewers as a concern, although this seems to be offset by the high quality of care and the community’s amenities. Families have praised the staff's ability to engage residents in activities that cater to their interests and abilities, creating a nurturing and stimulating environment. Communication from the community to family members is frequently lauded, ensuring that families are kept in the loop about their loved ones' care and well-being. This community, with its dedicated staff and comprehensive approach to memory care, is highly recommended by families, healthcare professionals, and senior living advocates alike, although the cost and desire for a broader range of activities are noted as areas for potential improvement.
