I don't know anybody in this facility, this review concerns Sterling Courts' disregard for sidewalk access in front of their building. Twice a week or so a delivery truck parks partially in their driveway, while completely blocking the sidewalk and extending slightly into the street. This makes it possible to pass only if you walk out onto the street on El Camino Real, which is technically a highway. It also makes the sidewalk inaccessible for handicap access. I'm not sure how they expect me to push my fathers wheelchair past.

My father moved into Sterling Court almost 2 years ago. Sarah and the staff are wonderful!!! They welcomed him and made him feel right at home. They encouraged him to get involved in the activities and social events. It took a couple months for him to adjust but he has settled in nicely and enjoys the companionship of all the other residents. The apartments are updated and very nice. The meals that are prepared by Chef Denis are wonderful. I appreciate the open communication with Sarah and the staff and can always ask questions if I need to. I visit regularly and enjoy seeing the residents hanging

My mom moved to Sterling Court with my dad about 2 years ago, but my dad passed away about 7 months ago. While my mother would love to be back home, she knows that that is no longer possible. The good thing is that she has grown to love Sterling Court. She has met some wonderful new friends, and the staff has been terrific to her. The environment is so homey and comfortable. I actually get the feeling that my mom is in a much smaller senior community because the staff is so helpful and concerned about her well-being.

This place is so wonderful I would love to live there! The staff are exceptional; so attentive, kind and efficient. Kudos to Chad who is the Executive Director for creating an atmosphere of comfort, well being, cleanliness, and fun. I saw him several times going beyond expectation to make sure everyone was taken care of, always with a smile. Actually everyone was like that. We stayed at the facility for 5 days in their Guest Room. I even took part in a couple of the activities (wanted to do more, but it is for the residents after all!) Made some lovely new friends, and went home knowing my father

Our 90-year-old mother had been resisting moving out of our family home, where she lived for 50+ years. She lived there alone for the last 15 years, but that became untenable and unsafe for her over the last several months. We finally convinced her to go on a tour of Sterling Court, which had been highly recommended to us by several people who live in the area and have family or friends there. She was so impressed by the graciousness of all the staff, the delicious food (we were all treated to lunch in the dining room), the clean and stylish facilities, the spotless apartment with a deck and cathedral

The services Sterling Court provides is amazing. The caregivers truly care about all residents and treat them as their own family. Choosing this retirement home was the best decision I could have made. Every day that goes by I rest assured knowing that my dad receives the best care and he truly enjoys his time at this assisted living community.

Grandpa frequently rants about the activities residents have at their fingertips in this community. Sterling Court is far from boring, and those living in there need to worry about nothing but their busy social calendar. Recreation options and entertainment are over the top; fitness, trips, games, parties, dancing and more. This place has proven us that retirement homes are not necessarily dull, if run properly they can be fun. Really fun!

I visited Sterling Court for a tour and left very impressed with the facility, workshops and staff members. I want to start by pointing out that the complex was in a spotless condition. This retirement home has absolutely everything each one of the residents could ask for and more than that. Since I got the task to find a retirement home for my mom I have visited a bunch of places; although some of them were great I still had the impression that Sterling Court was the finest one. Sterling Court has the facility I like the most, but the activities and workshops I saw during the tour were the game

Sterling Court has been nothing short of amazing to our parents. After searching the entire peninsula my sister and I decided we had found the perfect place. My mom and dad are still independent, but Sterling provides the safety and security we needed for them. Their two bedroom condo is lovely and remodeled. We were able to bring all my mothers favorite pieces from home plus shopped for some fun new things. They have a lovely unit with 2 beautiful balconies. They even decorated them for Halloween. The staff is courteous, attentive and very helpful. Executive Director Sarah has far exceeded our

DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVE ONE HERE! My last visit here, I overheard a manager telling a staff member NOT to help out an elder who was walking by carrying a heavy load. She said it in a very demeaning way. I asked my mom who the manager was, and she said that it was Sterling's executive director! My mom went off afterwards how this place had changed ever since the new director had arrived.
Time for a new place, mother.

My 93 year old Dad just moved from an independent living facility in Florida to Sterling Court to be near to his three daughters and their families. Ordinarily this would be a very difficult transition, however everyone, from the directors, administrators, front desk personnel, chef, handyman and other residents, helped him adjust very quickly. This upscale residence is permeated by a sense of warmth and caring. In particular Sarah, the Executive Director, has been incredibly helpful and patient in handling our barrage of inquiries and requests.

If I could give this place less than one star I would. This place is horrible and I can not believe anyone would be so cruel as to put their parents, aunt/uncle, or grandparents in here. This place is not a place for "active seniors" anymore and it has become more like a place of house arrest for the elderly. Many of the residents in the DE-evolving establishment are like family to me. I have watched as the "director" would write off the family members of a passed resident, and I have seen the same person intimidate the residents themselves. No one speaks up for you Sterling

Sterling Court is an independent living facility for active seniors. I have a very special relative who has been living here for about a year now. I have been very satisfied with the staff, accommodations, schedule and cuisine.
Sarah, the executive director, has been nothing but helpful. She is very organized and personable. She knows everyone on staff and within the community. This may seem like a small token, but after having toured all the facilities in the area, I find it is an anomaly.
The way the place is organized is that the apartments are rented out by Sterling Court. With
