Sunol Creek is conveniently located one mile from downtown Pleasanton and is easily accessible from I-680 for residents from the Castro Valley, San Ramon, and Danville, CA areas.

In addition to our signature wellness and life enrichment program, we provide exceptional on-site health services. We take great pride in the reputation our team has earned.

Beautiful grounds. But lacking in care

The tour was great. The facility/grounds are well cared for. It presents as very nice when you're touring and when you're initially meeting with staff I'd say it gives a good first impression Most of the caregivers were nice. Some of them were too rushed, hurried and didn't seem to have enough time to do their job. The food was overcooked half the time it was dry looking not exactly high grade. For instance very fatty bacon lots fat. Tasteless food. We rented an entire apartment both rooms and the bathroom. It w

Experience, good, room for improvement.

Sunol Creek is a lovely facility with some very wonderful care givers. Unfortunately for my husband, it is not working. He has Parkinson's with dementia and has taken numerous falls while in their care. His needs are just too much for them so we are looking for something more intimate. I would give them a 4. We have only been there just shy of [time frame removed}

Experience at Sunol Creek

Make sure you understand everything you are responsible to pay. I had a misunderstanding about personal briefs such as “Depends”. I thought they supplied for the cost of the room and board. They also had an almost total turnover of the Admin. Staff the second month. They could have a little better communication with the residents’ family. The staff is very friendly and tries to make you feel at home.

The personalized care in this facility has been above and beyond my expectations.

My mom seems to be thriving there, now my anxiety lies in the fact that I think she won’t want to come home! I would recommend this place with 100 stars their personalized care. 200 characters huh? The grounds are well-maintained and the cleanliness is way above my expectations. I appreciate the personal care and communication I receive from our coordinator. The staff at the main desk is always pleasant and accommodating, I get the feeling that everybody enjoys working there. Although the cost was out of my perso
