The Forum at Rancho San Antonio is a 817-bed continuing care retirement community spanning 51 acres in Cupertino, adjacent to the spectacular 3,988-acre Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. This equity-ownership Life Plan Community has been licensed for over 29 years and was voted Best Retirement Community in Silicon Valley by Mercury News readers three years in a row (2023-2025).

Strong safety record
Among the cleaner records in the state: 0 serious and 1 minor citations across 8 state inspections. A record this consistent is one of the clearest signs a home is well-run.
Trails start at the back door
Rancho San Antonio County Park and Open Space Preserve (3,988 acres) is directly accessible from the campus — hiking, bird watching, and wildlife without leaving the property.
Equity ownership model
The Forum is a Life Plan Community with an equity-based ownership structure — residents hold equity, not just a rental arrangement. A materially different financial model from standard assisted living.
Named memory care residence: Daffodil Ridge
Daffodil Ridge is the Forum's dedicated memory care program, combining specialized caregivers, custom programming, and technology in a purpose-built setting.
Equity buy-in adds to monthly costs
Life Plan Communities typically require a substantial entrance fee beyond monthly fees. Ask for the full financial disclosure and refund terms before committing to a tour.
817-bed campus scale
At 817 beds this is a large campus. Some residents thrive on the variety; others find the scale less intimate. Worth gauging fit in person.
Starting price likely reflects independent living
The ~$4,500/month figure is the website entry point. Assisted living and memory care tiers are priced separately and typically higher — ask for the full rate card.
Pricing is estimated, please contact the facility to confirm.
