Sunrise Senior Living

If the family member has memory issues that are mild and don't require a locked unit, are they required to be in that unit for their entire stay? I found that one facility did and the other did not. This was a clear decision point for me as the locked unit definitely had a different environment and would have been detrimental to my family member's happiness. I would also look for a kitchenette in the room for family to prepare simple meals and have a refrigerator. Ask about the longevity of the staff and be mindful of how they interact with the residents. Look at the overall facilities for upkeep of the environment and areas. Are rugs and furniture clean and not worn? Ask if they can speak to current residents, too. I am very happy with the overall care of my family member at Sunrise of Norwood. She has gained weight (much needed) as the menu is flexible and she has options to choose from. Encouraging her to dine with others has also improved her mood. In addition, the support staff are wonderful. If there are problems in her room, one call and within 15 minutes they are there to help anything from locating the right channel on the TV to loaning a walker to defrosting a freezer. The residents also have a call button which they can use to summon help, it can be a pendant or a wrist worn one. All of the staff are welcoming and pleasant! There is also great outdoor space with a covered porch and patios. I am happy to recommend Sunrise of Norwood to others.

You can feel the warmth and homelike atmosphere as soon as you walk in the front doors of Sunrise at Madison. The staff is caring and energetic, and treat residents like their own family. Truly a gold standard community starting from the top down.

Overall a great community. Our sales director [name removed] did an outstanding job of understanding our mother's unique situation and set her up in a room with a location that could give her the enhanced care she required. The care managers and nursing staff have been absolutely wonderful and no request goes without a prompt response. [name removed] and [name removed] are there to answer any questions. The facilities are beautiful and the food exceptional. We are so grateful we found this place.

My aunt has lived in Sunrise of Summit for 2 years. From day one, it felt like home. The people are fantastic - Miss [name removed] is especially outstanding with her kindness and thoughtfulness. We have attended many holiday themed family events and you can see how the staff really knows and cares about each individual resident. The place is spotless, and has the feeling more of an elegant home off the New England coast than an assisted living facility. We toured many before selecting Sunrise of Summit and the difference was night and day.

I am a visiting physician here at Sunrise. My elderly patients are very happy and well looked after. Atmosphere is very homely. Staff is very friendly and competent and responsive. Place is always spotless clean

My mother recently moved in to the colonnades and has received very personable care and a very warm welcome. She especially enjoys all the activities and the friendly people she has met. The sales team was excellent as well as all the support staff we have met so far.

My father really enjoyed Sunrise of Plymouth Beach mostly because of the friendliness of the staff members. Unfortunately he had to leave because he needed skilled care. Thank you for your service.

The staff seems to be happy, friendly, responsive. (They are not CNA's, and some additional training to help with my dad has been needed). The food is good, tasty, but the portions are smallish on the AL side (when my mom was there for respite). They are flexible with meals for my dad in regards to getting him to eat. The areas are kept clean, though sometimes the table in the activity/ family like room can be kind of sticky. I am not there everyday, but not sure how often things are sanitized. The cost, since the care is not done with CNA's, is a little high, in comparison to some of the newer places I think. Originally we thought my parents would be together, but they said my dad had to be in memory care. (Even though my mom would be living with him). So for a while we had my mom on the AL side in respite, and my dad in memory care. Other places have said since my mom is perfectly fine they could be on the AL side together.

This is a true community experience! Always something to get involved with. The food is extremely high quality and tasty too. I look forward to the daily activities, especially the movies. Ask and you get what you need. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and they make sure that everyone gets what they need. Highly recommend, five star!!

My overall experience is pure happiness! I love my apartment, the staff is so courteous. Everyone is so considerate and helpful. All in all it’s a wonderful environment. The activities are very interactive and community based. I give it five stars!!!

My loved one is currently a resident at Sunrise of Shrewsbury and everything has been very good for her at this facility so far. The move in process was good, we had no problems. Communication with the family is great. The housekeeping is okay- as long as you request they will respond. The food is good, my loved one eats like a queen three times a day. I would absolutely recommend Sunrise of Shrewsbury to others!

This building has a very quaint, homey feel with professional and friendly staff. Lots of different types of activities are offered to keep residents busy and active. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy is also available to address any therapeutic/rehabilitative needs your loved one may require. Nurses and doctors in the building are very knowledgeable and hardworking to ensure your family member gets quality care.

I enjoy living at Sunrise of Fairfax because i have made new friends and I enjoy the activities and the care givers are especially attentive and kind. The food is absolutely delicious! I love the food and love that I do not have to cook or clean up after with the dishes!

We snuck in for a tour yesterday during Oktoberfest. Such a beautiful community. Our mom needs a respite stay after a discharge from [removed]. The amazing camaraderie amongst the visitors staff and residents was so much fun we decided to stay and eat. Very pleased with the information we received.

My sister and I toured several Assisted Living facilities in the DC area looking for a great place for our Mom. Sometimes sales folks guide you away from staff and residents, unintentional as it may be. When we toured Sunrise of Bluemont, the salesperson guided us to employees and engaged us all in discussion. Bluemont has one building offering a small, intimate AL setting which we particularly liked. The campus has a safe walking path around the 3 buildings. The apartments are a good size, there are several large old trees around the property and outside sitting areas. On our way out, we ran in to the bus driver and had a wonderful chat with her. She's been with Bluemont for many years and you can tell she clearly cares about the residents. We also had two residents approach us and tell us how wonderful the location and staff are. Ultimately we decided to move Mom to an entirely different city near one of us but kudos to Sunrise of Bluemont Park.

From our initial visit to month number two, we have nothing but positive things to say about Sunrise. Everything from the tour to meals to my mother's care has been excellent. My mom started to refer to Sunrise as home and it completely warmed our hearts. Thank you to the team at Sunrise!

I was very impressed with the amount of activities they offer and how many residents seemed to participate. The community was clean and the staff was friendly. I loved that they have a hair salon in house for mom. I did not stay for a meal, however the food looked great. I have toured quite a few other communities and would place this at the top of my list for a community for my parents.

My family and I visited several facilities with a focus on their memory care. It was the level of care we initially believed our loved one would require. Although each place had its merits, Hunter Mill stood above the rest. The memory care residents were engaged and active each time we were there. The surroundings were like being at home but with all the care your loved one might require. To me, that was a big plus. You didn’t feel like you were on a special ward, although the staff to resident ratio indicated a high level of individualized care.

My Dad is happy there. Everyone is so nice to him. I picked this community because there is no elevators, location, good food and most of all age in place.
