I work in another LTC facility and am so impressed at this home. My mom has been more engaged, happier and relaxed since she has moved in here from her home where she lived alone. The staff is wonderful: kind, fun and include the residents in all they do. We both feel so lucky to have found this place!... Read more
Designated caregivers and breathtaking views set Sunrise of Gurnee apart from other senior living communities. Here, you’ll find a gorgeous gazebo overlooking the fountain pond, luscious garden beds tended by residents, and shaded walking paths with bench seats. This community’s atmosphere is warm, inviting, and one-of-a-kind.
Associates build relationships with each resident and keep families involved, too. The community’s family app allows staff to send videos, photos, and community updates to families, so they're always informed. In addition, the Reminiscence neighborhood offers specialized care for those with memory loss. Residents also have access to private bathrooms with relaxing whirlpool tubs.
Staff helps seniors live with purpose by hosting special activities and planning ways to socialize and connect. The community offers small group programming, which may include participating in the community walking club, playing brain games, engaging in music therapy sessions, and connecting with nature through gardening or planting. Many residents stay active in the local community by volunteering with Woodland Community Grade School — everyone enjoys when the students are able to pay a personal visit. Residents can also enjoy the full-service salon and a variety of daily fitness, educational, creative, and spiritual activities.
Staff provides a variety of convenient services, so...

November 3, 2023Hi Leta, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our team was able to assist your cousin. If you ever need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Have a wonderful day!
We toured Sunrise of Gurnee during our search for a Memory Care facility for our loved one. This facility was great! I must say, this facility was at the top as far as care, etc. However, it was twice as expensive as some of our other options in the area.

Our tour experience with Sunrise of Gurnee was neutral. Is is an average facility and they gave us an average tour. Nothing else really to note.

Sunrise of Gurnee was a good community tour; however, it was on the expensive side for us. Also, I didn't think they were a good fit for my loved one.

They were going through a covid outbreak at the time, so our tour experience was virtual. I thought they still did a great job of showing us around and we really liked the facility. Unfortunately they had no availability and there would have been 4 people ahead of us on the waitlist.

We had a good tour experience with Sunrise of Gurnee. It was definitely more home-like. We did not think that rooms here were as nice as other places we visited. The kitchen set up was older and it was just not as luxurious. Other places felt more like an actual apartment. It was also more expensive.

This was a very nice community and a very nice tour but we just wanted a smaller community for our loved one. The tour was great and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. the only reason we went with another community is because we wanted something smaller and it was just a better fit for my loved one.

While it is nice, staff seemed to be limited. During the tour, I noticed lots of managers in offices secluding themselves from the main reason you should be here. While I understand they have office work, there should be more employees out and approachable with residents. Plus while touring other communities, it seems to me like all the added fees are unnessiary. We will not be moving into this commutity because of this.

We chose Sunrise of Gurnee because it was the most convenient and plus the facility is very nice. It is not super big and the atmosphere seemed much more homey. It fit what we were looking for perfectly. The staff really stick out, they are super friendly and helpful and they have been great with communication .Their care and concern towards my loved one has been amazing.

We had a very nice tour at Sunrise of Gurnee. The man who showed us around was very knowledgeable and helpful. The reason we didn’t go with them was because the cost was not all-inclusive. There seemed to be charges for every little thing that all added up.
This community looked awesome. It feels like you are walking into a casino for the elderly and the greeter is a dog. My feeling is that it was more for people that were more independent and did not need as much care as others.
Our tour at Sunrise of Gurnee was good, but we didn't like that there were a lot of different charges that weren't included with the rent. Our family decided to tour several places and then give our loved on our top two recommendations to tour and choose from, and this one didn't make it into our top two because of the fee structure.
We chose Sunrise because it seemed like it was the best value for the money in the area. I would recommend the facility to others who are looking.

The ambiance is friendly and inviting, and it reminds me of a Victorian grand hotel. The rooms are well appointed, with multiple floorplans available. The staff is very friendly and includes the family as part of the loved one's care plan. The residents seem genuinely happy. The property grounds are beautiful, with a pond, small vegetable garden area, and a walk path that wraps around the property. There is an on-staff RN that handles medication coordination when need be, as well as monthly wellness checks for residents. The philosophy of Sunrise is to treat every resident with dignity and respect, and help them to maintain their independence. Overall, there is no negative comment on my part, in regards to possibly having Sunrise of Gurnee the top choice for assisted living options for my Mom.
