Sunrise Senior Living

Nice homey atmosphere. Very friendly staff. They are beautiful apartments, pet friendly and great food!

The only thing I can go by is what my mother tells me and she loves it there and says she would recommend it. The only thing she has a problem with is the wait time with the food. She says it takes a while to get served.

My mother-in-law is thriving in Sunrise/Arlington. The staff is friendly and supportive, and there are many activities. The Victorian building has the feeling of a real home -- only 50-60 residents. Rooms are bright and clean, and it is easy to access. There is tailored care, and the manager (Nate) is very helpful in walking through the process.

My family toured several facilities in our search for the best place to meet all the requirements for our family member and were very impressed with Sunrise in Fleetwood. The genuine kindness and great attitude of everyone we met left us feeling that Karen would be happy in their care. Cathe Provino was incredibly sensitive and is a remarkable listener. She "got" where Karen was coming from and was able to appease any trepidation Karen was feeling. While head of Sales, we never felt we were being "sold". Sunrise, their staff and the facility sells itself. Best of all, Karen can't wait to move in!

Changing living quarters is often a hard transition for seniors. It is one reason why I waited until my 94-year-old father-in-law lived at Sunrise for 6 months before writing a review. Here is my assessment: Location – Sunrise of Frederick is tucked away just off Rte. 15, which was convenient for me to drop in when I run errands. For out- of-town family and friends, the location makes it easier to find Sunrise. It is also near a couple of hotels, shopping and restaurants. Dining Services - Food service is excellent at Sunrise. Not only does the food taste good but it is prepared in healthy ways, which does not necessarily go hand in hand. Residents choose their meal from a menu, which changes daily. The menu contains appetizer, entrée and dessert choices. And if nothing looks appealing, the chef will make one of the old standbys such as grilled cheese, hot dogs, and eggs. A month before my father- in- law moved in, I asked 8 random residents what they thought of the food. I was shocked that not one of them complained. All raved about the meals as does my father-in-law. Activities – I saw online that one critic complained that some of them were kind of lame. Okay, obviously, this person is not yet 50 and does not have much senior experience. As we age, we get less and less interested in participating in strenuous activity much less watching others doing it. I found each activity on Sunrise’s calendar, no matter how simple, to show a great deal of thought in giving the residents a reason for moving, for learning new things, and for providing external stimulation. In addition, seniors are given opportunities to suggest activities and to volunteer. The Sunrise calendar is always booked with fun trips (wax museum, farms, orchards, zoo, fairs, restaurants and shopping to name a few). Cleanliness No matter when I pop into Sunrise, the communal areas are clean and my father in law’s quarters spotless. Staff So far I cannot say enough good things about the staff. They have been his brain when he can’t remember stuff, have taken care of his laundry and cleaned his room, have brought him his meds faithfully each day like clockwork. They have handled my father-in-law with kindness, respect, and patience, even on days when he might not be as cheery. For our family, Sunrise has provided a safe and comfortable living space, a chance to make new friends, and activity options that far surpass what we could provide on a daily basis. Sunrise may not be for everyone, however, you should add this facility as a “must see” when you are checking out new homes for your loved one. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Sunrise of Willowbrook is wonderful. The staff there are terrific. It's like I've got my husband back. He is so much calmer. He loves the place. It's a real gift. Right now they are transitioning to a new activities director. I think they could use a little more activities. They seem to have a lot of vacancies of staff, I hope they get them filled fairly soon. I am sure all of the positions will be filled soon though. The staff really are so good to him and so patient. I am really happy with this facility.

This facility has met all our expectations and criteria thus far after one month. The staff us been very attentive and proactive in our concerns. So thankful to "A Place for Mom"

It's been a little over a year and she still loves it. They change their managers a lot, but they seem to keep things running smoothly anyway. They place is always clean and well kept. The food is good, they do keep them down in the dining room for a while, but I think it's to get them to socialize a bit. They have plenty of activities though, and we have been pleased with it.

Brighton Gardens of Stamford is a lovely place. It is a nice facility. It is so clean here and the staff are very friendly. This facility is a really good value.

Our experience with Sunrise of Park Ridge has been a very good one. The staff here is understanding, accommodating, and very friendly. Everyone here has just been a big help to us throughout the whole process. It's a very nice place overall, I'd give them high marks across the board.

I am thrilled by the wonderful care my husband is receiving in the memory care unit at Sunrise of Willowbrook .

I would say that the move-in process for the Sunrise Senior Living went very smoothly for us. However, the staff could improve on more individualized care for each resident and their personalized needs.

The value is awesome at Sunrise Senior Living of Layfette Hill. Everything has been wonderful there. They take great care of my mom. If there are ever any issues they quickly get it resolved. Really everything is just perfect here.

Sunrise of Gurnee is a comfortable, warm place. It's like family there. It really feels like home. My brother has COPD and the staff have all been so good to him. We have really seen him turn around. I would even give the food a five. It is such a wonderful place. They are just excellent here, a wonderful place to be. Even the other residents are friendly and always have smiling faces. One of my brothers' neighbors came and introduced himself while we were visiting and I thought that was just so nice. I am so thankful to have him at this facility. I just cannot say enough good about it.

I think it has all been pretty good at The Couryard At Lakewood. All the staff members were pretty helpful in getting my loved on in there to the facility. It has been a positive experience with them so far.

Place was immaculate, but unfortunately out of our price range. They also do not work with medicaid at all.

I would rate the food a five. There are so many choices, and the staff has taken notice of our dad's likes and dislikes. I just have wonderful things to say; about the staff and how the overall transition was wonderful. We liked the style of the rooms, because there could be a shared room cost wise, but it still feels like a private setting. We liked the location, and it was just an overall welcoming feeling.

The staff that takes care of mom Nicole, Debby, Brandi, Michelle and a couple other ladies (I apologize I don't remember all their names, but want them recognized) are more than wonderful! Mom's Case Manager Jennifer Cox and Tracey, plus the Nursing team Erin, Lily, Ashley (I know I am forgetting one more of the nurses, I think his name was David, he was new to the home) are more than awesome! Delores and Rene are so sweet! The Welcoming Staff Joanne, Miranda, and all that attend the front desk are always happy to see us! Even the kitchen staff try to accommodate mom's food choices. The food always looks and smells fresh. Mom even gets excited about her meal that day. We can rest easy everyday because we are assured that mom is being taken care of properly like we would do if we could. We are grateful for such a loving and caring team! Thank you!

Terrific staff, and Care Aids. Always professional and willing to make experience better, by routine follow-up phone calls. Took a while to find a place for Mom, but am delighted to have found Sunrise.

So far so good at The Colonnades. It is faultless. The grounds are wooded with trails. The cottage that I am in is magnificent. I am getting value because I am single, I have no children, so yes it is a bargain. They have a very good team here. I get to have my belongings laundered every week. The dining room is like a restaurant here. We have a Paris trained chef. The staff have all worked here a long time which is very telling. Anything I have needed or wanted they have gotten for me.
