Sunrise of Cary

This place is definitely an improvement from my loved one's last facility. The staff at Sunrise have been friendly and caring, and they have encouraged my loved one to participate in their activities. It has been very clean, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

The community is set up nicely which we really liked

We chose Sunrise of Cary because when we got there for our tour they were prepared, they were very friendly, and we did not feel like we were rushed through it. We got to see everything from the dining room, the activity room, to the residents room. We had interaction with the current residents here as well and they seemed to be happy. It was also very clean and the residents looked more put together. The ladies had their hair brushed the men their beards were trimmed, they all just looked great. It is more expensive than the average cost of an assisted living facility. For us, it is worth the money knowing she is getting the care that she needs. They do have a lot of outings and a very nice outdoor space. They also offer the doctors on demand and in house physical therapy and occupational therapy of which we are taking advantage of. All in all, we are very pleased and she likes it here and considers it home now.

We chose Sunrise of Cary because when we went they had 1 room available looking out at a forest and when we walked in my husband thought that it looked like an old European Hotel, it had an overall nice feel. My mom has a very good sized room and that is her favorite part about the facility. The only negative I have is the food is not very good. It is more canned foods rather than fresh. My mother said the deserts are very good though. I would recommend this community.

We loved the place initially, but my loved one didn't stay there long. My loved one ended up in the hospital and didn't want to go back. My loved one never told us why they didn't want to go back. The staff at this community tried to get the information from my loved one and they refused to state why they wanted to leave. My loved never one never participated in the activities, but they had a nice selection of activities.

Facility was very grand. I believe it could house 80 residents, but my number maybe off. When I came in the front door, there was a pianist leading about 25 residents in singing carols in a large community space, and she informed me she was there twice a month. Spent first 10 minutes filling in the coordinator on my father's condition. She assured me that there was nothing of concern that they wouldn't be able to address and that there were people in the residence similar to him that were already being taken care of and that a resident who was bed bound was not a problem for their staff. She then told me that they also had regular housekeeping, laundry facilities for linens and residents' clothing, they had a beauty shop for hair and nails that was a separate charge, they used Doctors Making House Calls for doctors and podiatrists as a separate charge, that any Hospice services were welcome as needed, that there was a back up generator -- although there might not be electricity to resident bedrooms, as common areas and medical equipment would be the priority , that the three-story structure has a elevator, that they offered to supply articles similar to Depends for a separate charge or a resident's family could supply them, and that we could view a one-bedroom with a den. I asked if I could visit my father at any time of day or night, and she said yes. I asked the price for a resident who was in the one-bedroom and was bed bound. It was over $10,000 per month. I said that was a lot of money. We looked at a one-bedroom model. It was beautiful and very large with a room large enough for a king-sized bed as well as another large space set up as a living room. The bathroom was large and well-laid out with a walk-in shower. She told me all items in the room would need to be supplied by the resident, including the bed. I did notice a slight odor as I came in the front door, but nothing offensive.

Only have Assisted Living and Memory Care - no Independent Living.

Great visit followed up with dinner with Mom at the facility that afternoon. [name removed] was amazing to work with and I hope that we will be able to work together moving forward.

Very thoughtful and professional. Followed up after the visit. Facility very clean - feels like a big, comfortable home. [Removed]a very nice and compassionate.

I have no complaints about the tour I had taken of this property. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions we had for them in great detail. The property was clean and they seemed to have a lot of great amenities available to all of the residents. It was just not the right fit in the end decision.

After visiting three facilities in the area that offered a two bedroom unit (for both mom and dad) we have decided to give Sunrise a try by using their Respite program. The staff was very friendly during our tour and they were more engaged with residents than what we observed at other facilities in the area. Next week, dad will be transferred there from Rehab while mom has some surgery. Assuming all goes well, mom will leave their current independent facility to join him. What a wonderful program to be able to try a facility out. They will even provide the furniture for dad's short stay. I'm impressed. The building is clean and bright and the grounds are peaceful with a beautiful front porch where you can listen to the birds singing.

My loved one is doing as well as to be expected. I am happy with the care that she is receiving, They are taking good care of her. I would recommend this community because we have had a good experience so far. I have no complaints.
