My husband is very happy here at this community. He has adjusted very well to it, and I'am satisfied. It was a ruff transitional period, but all is well now. They have a lovely staff, and they have been great to work with. The community is very well-kept, everything is always very neat and tidy. He has a lovely small apartment, that looks great. They really work hard to make sure everything is running smoothly. I would highly recommend this community, it is a great place.

So far, so good. Took my Dad longer to assimilate than some. My brothers and go to be with our Dad several days each week, and we see how the staff interacts with him AND with the other residents. They are kind and they seem to check on their charges regularly. They don't smother them with attention, but they let the residents "be" and help them when needed. Nurses, the PT and the OT are very professional as well as gentle and kind as they work with the residents. Very effective team. Activities happen at regular intervals, and residents are invited to participate - this gives them something to look forward to each day. Food is ok---menu varies, but there are also some choices that are mainstays for those who don't like change. I wish that the offering of fresh fruit in the afternoons was better managed -- it has saran wrap over it, and it looks mushy after the first 30-60 minutes of exposure and being picked on. The SOUPS are really, really delicious! I was pleasantly surprised! Tastes fresh, and I think it is also low sodium. M-F daytime front desk person is cheerful and appears to be the heart of SUNRISE. She knows all of the residents and interacts with them, helps them, engages them in conversation and keeps the front area feeling positive.

There are plenty of activities. From what my mom says it’s like a five star hotel. There’s a nice lobby and the staff – it’s like a very nice hotel. It’s a good value for the money. The staff is very friendly and it goes without saying that it’s very clean.
