Sunrise of Danville

For people with mobility issues, this is the place to be. Safety is the Number One Priority, to the extreme. Very few residents are without mobility devices; walkers, rollators, wheelchairs, canes and even scooters, if you need one. Residents are not allowed to bring, buy, store or take their own medications. The Wellness Center has their own pharmacy and Medicine Technicians administer any drugs, even aspirin, cough syrup, or over-the-counter medications. The grounds are lovely, with paths, seating and locked fencing to keep everyone safe. Pets are many, mostly small dogs, except the one "House Dog" that is huge and ancient. Private rooms are spacious, with at least one very large window, a small kitchenette a good-sized private bathroom with shower, 2 closets and sound-proof walls. The staff speaking their native language among themselves keeps their clear English-speaking far from probable.

When the time came to move my elder aunt from Florida to California, Sunrise of Danville was one of four properties we visited. Not only is the community welcoming and active, the setting peaceful and based in a residential community, the property also presented a very well maintained facility with staffing the felt more like "family" than aids. Plus the resident dog and cat just sealed the deal.

I went on a tour in this community and It was OK. The tour wasn't as good as other tours we had. The building was split into 2 sides. The assisted living and the memory care. They only showed us the assisted living side and we needed to know about the memory care. They were accommodating , It was nice and open. Lots of people out and visiting. It wasn't as nice or fancy then the other place. It just wasn't a good fit.
