Sunrise of Sandy

First impressions walking in the door was how warm and inviting the property is. Everything is decorated for the holidays and looks beautiful. The receptionist greeted us by name as we walked in the door which made us feel pretty special. We met with [name removed] who asked a lot about our mom, what her needs were and what she liked to do. She then took us on a tour of the property. Everywhere we went we were greeted by smiles from both staff and other residents. Several of the residents made a point to speak to us about how much they loved living at Sunrise and how well they were taken care of. Some of the staff also introduced themselves and spoke to us about how much they enjoyed working there. We ended the tour with such a great feeling about how much our mom would love it at Sunrise. Sadly, our mom passed unexpectedly before we could make it happen but we will recommend Sunrise to all our friends.

This facility has been very good for my loved one, I visit her daily. Cleanliness is good. My only suggestion would be to maybe shampoo the carpets on a regular basis. The staff has always been very helpful and concerned for my loved one, they go out of their way to be kind. Communication with the family is very good. They're great about answering my questions or finding an answer if need be. We did have quite a few problems at first, but the staff went out of their way to help get those problems resolved. They allowed me to put cameras up in my loved one's room. If I see her up and around in the middle of the night and I call them, they're great about going to check on her/assisting her as needed. My loved one is definitely more comfortable here now. She doesn't use silverware anymore, so they mostly serve her sandwiches. I do wish they would add more of a variety of finger foods for her, chicken nuggets etc. Overall, I'm very comfortable having my loved one here and they do a great job caring for her. I would recommend them to family and friends.

The staff does not Truly care for your loved one! The more you get to know the staff, the more is IS VERY CLEAR, ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS GETTING MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY!!!!!! When we inquired with the staff about where all of our loved ones clothing, coats, etc. have gone, since they are all going missing and her closet is becoming more empty etc., (even with clothing we had just taken over days ago) the staff had the audacity to tell us, "Well, we don't think you ever even brought many clothes over, nor brought your family member more clothing a few days ago." ........Seriously, how dare they acuse us of making up some lies, when all we inquired about was our concern of where all of our family members belongings are going.. The staff is obviously stealing from the residents, and yet has the audacity to accuse us of LYING, when we have nothing to gain from it!!!!!! Nor are we the people who do that sort of thing!!!! AND, WE PAY THEM A HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY!!!!!!!!

The staff is friendly and competent, the architecture of Sunrise of Sandy is appealing, the price is competitive.

I'm very satisfied with Sunrise of Sandy. We've had a very good overall experience. The people are friendly and very helpful. And they seem to be very concerned with taking care of everybody there. It has been a great place for my loved one.

We were impressed right away on the tour, the community was very clean and just smelled fresh. The meals smell good and their menu looks good, but being the great cook our loved one is sometimes they don'y really care for the meals. The value for cost is much higher than expected, but this was the only community that offered a room that fit two people. Some of the aids are wonderful, and others not so much it just kind of depends on who you are speaking with.

We were only there a couple of days for a respite stay, but they were really very good. The room and the bathroom were very clean. The hallways were clean, and there were no odors. They were very friendly and very accommodating. I loved that they allowed you to bring the dog to visit, and they were very friendly and accommodating about the dog as well. To be able to bring my loved one someplace where I could sit with him in his last hours, the rest of the family could come, and so could the dog - that was invaluable to me.

My mom has lived at Sunrise for over 6 years and I am very thankful for the Sunrise staff. They have chosen an employment path that is difficult and demanding. I am very impressed with the patience and calm they use everyday for their responsibilities.

Sunrise is a wonderful place to live! The care, the staff, and nurses are very kind and professional. I have made many friends who are staff here! I highly recommend Sunrise of Sandy Senior Living!

In the last three years, I have watched three of my parents/ parents-in-law pass away. One passed away at home, one in the hospital, and one, my mother, passed away at Sunrise. My mother's passing away was the most special. She was able to be surrounded by family with the support from the caregivers at Sunrise. She was living in the Alzheimer's unit when she passed. The caregivers from Sunrise and Inspiration Hospice were wonderful. They all loved her, and helped us to know how to help her as she was passing. We are indebted to their kindness and love for her. My father now lives in the assisted living side of Sunrise as he goes through the last stages of his life. He is also experiencing the love and care from the Sunrise staff and Inspiration Hospice. He eats his meals in the homey and comfortable dining room with the other residents that we now call friends. The food is always good, and there are nice touches like linen table cloths and fine furnishings. They have a great activities director that is planning parties and activities to make their lives enjoyable. The men and women that have helped my dad get ready for bed or bring him his medicine all truly care about him. If ever I have had a concern, I have been welcome to talk to the manager or head nurse and things have been taken care of. If you are trying to find a place for your loved one to live, I would highly recommend Sunrise of Sandy.

My mom lived at Sunrise for just over 2 years and it was clear that my mom was loved and properly cared for by the staff and that means the world to me. Not being able to be there during COVID was very challenging, but in her last days I was able to witness that those caring for her truly loved her. I don't think anything could have been as comforting as that. When I couldn't be there to show her my love, others were loving her for me. That is priceless.

Words cannot describe my gratitude for Sunrise of Sandy. My Dad was a resident in the reminiscence unit at Sunrise of Sandy for about 4 years before he passed away in May. Everyone at Sunrise is like family to us. They went above and beyond to take care of my Dad in every way possible and me too! They genuinely loved my Dad...I have no doubt! I learned so much from Sunrise about how to interact with my Dad as his dementia progressed. The staff at Sunrise are very knowledgeable and so loving!! My Dad was a businessman till the very end and they knew just how to engage him and keep him happy. They set him up a desk with files and they would discuss "business deals" with him for hours. He made up names for all of them and they stuck for years. There are no words to describe how amazing they were to my Dad. This is a very difficult time with the pandemic, but Sunrise kept my Dad safe and happy through all of it. When my Dad was passing, due to his dementia, Sunrise along with Silverado Hospice, were so helpful and loving. Sunrise of Sandy is the best!!!

The management and the staff at Sunrise did a pretty good. It really is a quality place and a good facility. We chose this community because the location was close to my house and I liked the staff there, The staff were very friendly, helpful, and flexible with my mom.

We have found a very caring facility for our sister. During this pandemic they have gone out of their way to put us in touch with her as the facility is locked down for all visitors. Any questions we have there is always someone to answer them. She is in the Reminiscence section of the facility.

My mom is in the memory care center. She has fallen multiple times, and sometimes the staff is there to help. Sometimes. We had to put a nanny cam in the room to check up on them - and they have been a little better since. The staff are nice people. But their food sucks. Literally. Vegetables so overcooked that you have to use a spoon to get them into your mouth. Well, not my mouth, because after trying their food twice, you couldn't get me to eat that swill willingly. You'd have to be mindless to eat it - which is why they can serve it at a memory care center. One time, I was trying to help my mom eat chicken nuggets, and she took one bite, then spit it out - "old, dried out meat. Yuck!" is how she described it. Spaghetti with canned tomatoes on it for dinner. Maybe people in memory care don't care about any spices? Zuchinni slices that are so over-cooked they slide between the tongs of a fork. My step-father won't eat with my mom unless we bring in outside food. Pathetic! Seems to me that for over $7,000 a month, they ought to be feeding the inmates real food. Really.
