Sunrise Senior Living

I toured here when looking for a place for my grandmother and it was nice. They’re a bit older so they have a bit more experience I think and they seem to be nice with all of the residents. I wouldn’t say it’s run down, but it’s starting to show it’s age. Other than that, it seems really nice. When I went, it was lunch time and you could smell it all over. It seemed like every time our tour guide would walk by, she would say hi to everyone and everyone recognized her and knew who she was and everyone seemed to be having a good time there. Everyone was very friendly and everyone knew each other and was talking with each other. The only thing was that outside, in their garden area, you could see the age of the landscaping. The chairs and stuff outside were really old and rusted and you could just tell that it wasn’t new.

The comprehensive training of the staff in dementia care is evident in the way EVERYONE treats the residents. Individual plans for people so they don't get shoe horned into an institutional schedule. Excellent on-line tools and caregiver support.

loved it seems like a great choice

My in-laws are here and everything seems to be going well so far. They’ve been very helpful. My Father-in-law is sort of a hard person to get along with sometimes and they’ve got a ton of patience with him. They’re helpful and answer questions when he has them. When they first got there, they liked the food, but now they’re sort of getting tired of it but I think it’s because there’s not so much of a variety. There are a few things that the facility provides for activities like bingo and dance nights. The facility is kept clean and housekeeping changes the linens once a week. I would recommend them.

I have looked at many places while trying to find a place for my loved one. This facility’s staff team is just wonderful. Their care team has enough skill and it seems that they are using a system that’s efficient to where they can get you what you need. When I came in with my loved one, they sat her down and talked to her for an hour and a half. I thought that this was pretty cool because they made a conscious effort to try and connect with her, I find this very important. The executive director is always on the premises. Every time that I visit the entire staff would come up to me and tell me everything that is going on with my loved one. They are very communicative and I like how they always keep me in the know of what issues that may transpire. I would recommend this place because I myself feel safe knowing that my loved one is getting the care that she needs and she is happy as well.

Wonderful facility - unfortunately too far away. [Removed] gave us things to look for and ask about as we tour other facilities. [Removed] was amazing and I wish it were closer to our house.

My parents just moved in about a month ago and it’s been a bit of an adjustment but my mom is like a happy camper. It’s been a very warm atmosphere and we had a good vibe from the start. The staff is interacting really well with my parents. I think there are a couple of staff members that my mom thinks are a little cooler than the others, but that might just be a personality thing. The rest of them have been very welcoming and helpful. For the most part it’s been like a family. The general manager, [Removed], even comes by once in a while to say hi. We’re a Christian family, and learning that [Removed] is an ex-pastor was really great. [Removed] is the activities manager and she’s been fantastic. The facility is wonderful and it just feels good. They clean the apartment weekly and take out the trash from the apartment once a week. But if you fill it up ahead of time then there’s a large trash can in the laundry room that you can dump it into. They have so many activities too! Games, outside musicians will come in, there was a Veteran’s day ceremony that was done so well, there are outside lunches, and they have something called Froggy Friday once a month where kids will come in and exchange letters with the residents. Every day there is probably only an hour or two where something ISN’T happening. They don’t want people just sitting in their apartments, they want them out socializing. Something that I learned while looking into the facility is that they partner with another outside assistance company that will help with showers and things like that. You do have to pay extra for those services, but they’re available for those who need it. They have a wonderful library and when we first came to take a tour and look at it, we just watched the residents and they all just seemed to be really enjoying their time. It was such a relief knowing that a great place existed that we could afford. I would recommend them and my mom is already trying to recruit her friends!

Very nice facility, [Removed] was very helpful. The facility was very clean and the rooms were spacious. The residents appeared to be happy and spoke well of the food. This is the first facility that I visited but I would definitely consider this as a place for my Mom.

My mother was sadly only at Sunrise for a week before she passed, but I can say that for the week she was there, they took really good care of her and everything was good. We had a great experience with the people that worked there. The people there are great and we really loved the place. I would highly recommend it to others.

I took a tour of this facility when I was looking for a place for my loved one. The lady that gave me a tour was very personable and everyone knew who she was. I was really impressed with everything. They have a lot of activities and they’re all listed in different areas. What I always want to make sure of, from my loved one’s perspective, is that she gets vegetables and things like that and from what I could tell, they serve healthy options like turkey breast and fish. Other than that, it seemed like a pretty set menu.

Sunrise at Cherry Creek has been great so far. I think the personal attention that my aunt had been getting has been very impressive. They have been looking at every detail to try to help her function as highly as possible, and they take assessment s of even the smallest things. They are very thorough, keeping the residents engaged and never allowing my aunt to sit in her room by herself. The staff is also very respectful of her privacy and dignity. Her room is just beautiful. It feels like a little apartment with is big widows and bright look. She’s able to keep her clothes and jewelry there, she can display her pictures, and she can have her plats there too. Sunrise has just been a lifesaver for us, and I would recommend this community to others.

When my sister and I were looking for a place for my brother-in-law, we wound up touring this facility and eventually moved him in. The facility itself is brand new and is from an Australian company that, from my understanding, only has a few facilities within the US. They have a whole different view of memory care and how to get people back to their former selves and it’s really been great. Because it’s so new, there aren’t that many residents living there at the moment so the care is a bit more hands on. They’re still hiring staff, too, but the staff that is there has been very helpful to my sister and she’s been happy with how things are being handled. The rooms are a good size and they all open into a courtyard so my brother-in-law has a nice view of that. The bathroom doesn’t have a door and the bed is situated right near it in case the residents wake up in the middle of the night and need to get to the restroom quickly. My sister has had a number of people that have come to visit her husband and they’ve all been very impressed as well with what they’ve seen. The activities director is quite creative. She had the residents make bowls once and I thought that was great. There’s lots of exercise classes available to keep everyone moving, there’s solitaire, brain games, and even in October they had kids come over from the local schools to trick or treat! Honestly, whoever put this together was creative from the beginning. The staff is keeping everything pretty clean and I haven’t seen anything bad or had any complaints. My sister has eaten there a few times and there isn’t anything really remarkable about it, but she has made the comment that they really try to accommodate everyone. I would definitely recommend them!

We are so happy we found this community for dad. He love it here and there are a lot of men here so he's making friends. The staff is caring and attentive. It is a brand new community so it always nice and clean. The dining area is nice and food is great. They have like a walking path outside and every floor has a patio are. He love the activities like going out for bus rides and exercises there is also a Happy Hour. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

I went on a tour here and everything went really well. The staff was nice and friendly. They answered all of my questions. It was clean and tidy. Looked wonderful and it was a little misleading to me. They quoted me one price and we scheduled to move my dad in and then 2 weeks away the added the price of the medicine and he started out with 6 after their review it went from 6 to 10 meds and 2,500 dollars more. So I had to go with other accommodations.

The staff here really treats you like family. They try to do everything for you and if you have an issue they will do their best to resolve it as soon as the can. I always tell my husband that I want to be here. It’s just so wonderful that I already referred other people to this community. My best friend is there and she is very happy and comfortable. They staff is very communicative and keep you in the know of everything. This location is just two minutes away from my home so it made it very convenient for me to pick her up and take her to jazzercise, which she loves. They also offer yoga on site. My friend was not a fan of it because you mainly sit and do extended poses. The other activities that they offer would be posted on a sheet near the concierge desk so you can see what is happening on site. They also have transportation services that would take residents to Walmart, to restaurants, outings, and just different kinds of places. The food there is absolutely wonderful and I was so impressed by it. I am able to eat with my friend as well for a small price. I enjoy the menu, they change it daily. They have breakfast specials every morning and for lunch and supper it’s a sit down restaurant setting. It is very nice. Housekeeping keeps the facility very nice and clean. They do my friends laundry once a week on Mondays and they take out the trash every day. They make her bed every morning and they change her sheets once a week along with her laundry. My friend was also able to keep her dog. I’m sure that they have weight restrictions for certain animal, but the staff team came over and met the dog and said that it was fine.

We toured this community for my Aunt and Uncle. This was not a locked facility and we were afraid my Aunt would try to leave all the time.It was nice and clean. The staff was helpful with all the questions. But we had to go elsewhere.

The staff here are very responsive, personable, and very communicative. When I go in they greet me by name and they really try to make you feel at home. If I call, I am always up to date with everything. Everyone on their team (from custodial workers, chefs, and people on their administrative team) will learn all of their residents’ names. I was very impressed with the facility and how everything is nicely appointed. The care team does very well with trying to fit in the residents very nicely. It seems that it was the perfect size while looking for a place for my in laws. You don’t have that feeling of being in a big hotel or a small location where they don’t have any activities; it just seemed like a perfect size of not feeling of being lost in a crowd. The other residents there are fabulous. After my father in law passed it was just my mother in law there. She would go into the dining area and start eating, where all of a sudden another group of people will flag her down and say “come sit with us!” My mother will always have people to sit with. Everyone looks out for each other, they would always look for someone else to eat with, no one would have to be a lone, and everyone’s very welcoming. Overall the residents get that independent living but they have people that check in on them just in case anything happens or they need anything. They also have fun activities. They have this thing called thirsty Thursdays where at 3:00pm they would go for cocktails. They also have events monthly that would focus on different countries. It would be followed by lectures about the country to they would watch related movies. And any day that you would like a family member to come or friends you can get a guest pass for them.

We are very happy with the community.The staff is very caring and attentive.Since my dad has moved in their he has done very well. My sisters are very comfortable with everything related to the staff and facility.The community is very clean, the food is excellent, and they have numerous activities, but my dad is not a big activity person. I would not want that to go against the facility, because there is plenty of opportunity for him to do things.

This community was very nice and clean.The staff was really accomadating with questions we had. It only had 2 levels of care and I was afraid something may got wrong with dad and I don't want him to be moved again if something were to happen. So we had to go with another community.

We really like this one, but are trying not to do Rapid City.
