Located in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale is a vibrant city that's home to approximately 153,000 residents. Seniors, who make up around 12% of the population, can benefit from the city's high number of physicians and world-class health care facilities. They have direct access to Valley Health Center Sunnyvale and are within proximity to Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center. However, seniors who require medical services on a daily basis may be good candidates for nursing homes.
In Sunnyvale, care in these communities costs an average of $11,566 per month. Rates cover a wide range of specialized medical services, including wound care, pain management, stroke rehabilitation and hospice. Skilled nursing staff are on-site 24/7 to provide supervision and medical oversight. These locations also offer rehabilitation and therapy services. Alternatively, assisted living or home care may be more suitable options if individuals require less specialized medical care.
This guide explores nursing homes in more detail, providing additional information about the cost of care in Sunnyvale and how to obtain financial assistance. It also includes a list of some local organizations to contact for information and assistance in making long-term care decisions.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren't available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about local financial assistance programs for seniors.
