Sunrise At Canyon Crest

If you are older and healthy and need a community to live in where there's caring companionship and lots to do on site, then it is a lovely place to be and then it's great for you. But if you are sicker and less independent then the level of training of caregivers and the ratio of the caregivers, especially at night, then it can be challenging. To be fair, it was challenging for the both the staff and residents. The caregivers are younger and very nice and very caring, but their time is limited and they are not nurses.

I am just so pleased with Sunrise. I feel the my mom is the getting the personal attention that shes need. The care is individualized and they keep in touch with me with any concerns them have. The caregivers are great. The communication is great. They personally interact with me on behalf my mom because she is unable to verbalize now. I have so much peace of mind with her being there and I am so grateful for Sunrise. She is in memory care and they really give her the one on one attention that really needs . It is a great place.

This is a wonderful facility. First of all it's small. Three cottages with about 35 residents per cottage. Each cottage is fully self contained with dining room, beauty shop, wellness office, and living room. The resident rooms are spacious and well appointed. My mom is in a studio and it's plenty big enough for a queen size bed, large chest of drawers, recliner, large TV stand and TV. Plenty of storage in the closet and bathroom as well. The only thing the rooms lack are bathtubs, but there is a walk in jacuzzi tub that residents can use. The grounds are nicely planted with plenty of walking paths. There are daily activities, like walking groups, movies, gardening, socials, trips off campus, board games. A resident can be as active or inactive as they choose. The staff at Sunrise are all well tenured. They quickly learned who my mom was, always call her by name, even when she is outside of her room. The care staff double as dining room staff. Within just a couple of meals, they learned what my mom liked, how she wanted it served and when. Even though I am close enough to visit regularly, both the care manager and mom's specific wellness nurse, call me monthly to report on her health and general well being. They are always available for me to ask questions in between those calls as well. I would chose Sunrise again for my mom. It's really a nice facility.
