Sunrise Senior Living

The care that my mom is getting here at this community. The offer good meals and a good variety. My mom is offered to participate with others in activities. The community is clean and theenvironment is wonderful. I like that she is getting great care here. I do recommend this community for the care of a loved one.

Really liked this place after visiting it. Be aware, however, that it is subsidized by the county & there are income limits and other requirements, though they probably won't be huge obstacles for many seniors. The residents have to be pretty ambulatory and they have to be continent or able to take care of their own incontinence needs. When I visited there was a 4 to 5 month wait time for getting in. One thing I liked about Braddock Glen was that everything is included in the price (light assistance, usually med management, 3 meals, etc.) You know what you're going to pay, unless your situation changes quite a bit. Also, the lunch I had was great and the residents seemed to be enjoying it too. The layout and look of the place were great with ample space & lots of nooks, crannies, benches, and outdoor areas. The caregivers served lunch and appeared to be familiar with the residents (and vice versa). They also appeared to be attentive and caring. The residents are quite active with no or little evidence of dementia. I was surprised at how many people had decorated their doors - looks very homey, creative and not institutional. The things that may not be ideal to some people are that the studios seem a little small compared to others I've seen, with the one bedrooms not much bigger (but priced accordingly). The activities are a little bit limited, and the menu choices and times for meals are a little limited, although there are always alternate food choices. Each studio or one bedroom has a microwave and fridge, so that provides another option if people don't want to eat in the dining room all the time. There isn't much within walking distance for independent folks unless you're willing to walk 8/10th of a mile, but if so, there are 2 shopping centers with just about anything you might need. The facility also provides a bus once a week to go to a grocery or other store like Target, Wal-mart, etc. Basically, this place seems like an excellent choice for people on a moderate to low income who are reasonably able to walk (rollators OK) and don't require lots of assistance. It's not ritzy, but it's definitely not depressing or spartan either. However, keep in mind that there's no memory care or higher level of care available, so if your situation changes drastically, you may need to move. (At least the one-time move-in fee isn't really high!)

The community did not work out for us but it was nothing on their part. My loved one was just not happy. They tried everything possible, though, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was nice, clean and maintained well. Defiantly a good place for anyone looking.

I am very happy here at this community. The staff are very nice and caring with my needs. I enjoy the food here and the variety of what they offer. There are activities for me when I want to participate. I would recommend others to come and see this great community for over all great care and value.

I toured this community for my mom due to being close to my home. I found the staff to be very nice and very helpful. I did not see any activities for my mom to participate in. This community is clean and the staff are nice. The food seemed to be appealing. I would recommend this community for families to see if this community would fit there needs.

I would highly recommend this community. They keep the community very clean and well maintained. My mother in law always says the food is good and they take good care of me. She is doing better since moving into this community. The doctors there have helped with her Alzheimer's. I would like to see the staff use the residents names more often when interacting with them.

I am overjoyed to find such an amazing place for my mom!

Great staff-to-resident ratio, lots of activities, very caring staff.

So far everything is going well with my father's move to this community. We like the meals I've eaten there several times and they are very good. They also have a church there, we go every Sunday. The place is very clean well maintained. They have activities available at all times and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We are very happy with our choice.

I have really enjoyed the staff at this community they have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They have been great with making sure they stay in contact with me about my dad and truly care about his well being. They have a comfortable and safe living environment with lots of positive energy. I am very pleased with our experience this far.

Great tour of Colonnades. [Removed] gave us a very detailed tour of the place and was kind enough to offer a lunch and meeting with some other residents. We hope to do that the next time we come to Charlottesville to visit our children.

Wonderful place. Everyone was happy,positive and helpful, from the receptionist, Director of Sales, residents and the head chef! Privacy and respect to the residents was top notch. Our choice for our family member!!!

My parents are really their time here at this community. They are doing quite well, and I'am satisfied with all they have done for us. It is a nice safe community. I'am comfortable with the care they are being provided with. The staff have been very accommodating. They do keep the residents very active with the activities. The meals are nice, and they are pleased. This is a community I would recommend.

We moved our Mom to Sunrise in May. She is unable to walk and is late stage Alzheimer. We are so grateful for the care takers in the memory care facility (Reminiscence). They have a very difficult job and they do it very well. The facility is clean and well kept. The exterior grounds are just beautiful. We know our mom is being taken care of better than we can. They memory care unit manager ([Removed]) is involved in the day to day happenings and is always interested in family feedback. We have gotten to know many of the care managers well which makes us so comfortable with our decision. This has been heartbreaking for the family and this Sunrise facility has made the transition much easier for us.

The staff at sunrise are the best and my friend is very happy to be living in such a warm and caring home. And A very special thanks to [Removed] who took the worry and stress away to make the transition seamless.

The director at this community is fabulous. He has handled all the things dad has requested help with. Dad loves it here and wishes he would have moved sooner. I am relieved he is happy and enjoying the company of others. He plays bingo and bag baseball. He goes out with other residents to events in the community. He loves the meals and the variety of food choices. I would recommend this community.

My Father is 87 years old and suffered a spine fracture in September 2016 from a fall at his home... he also has level 2 dementia.... he's been in rehab and other facilities and things weren't going so well for him... We then did some more research and learned about Brighton Gardens... we decided to move him in there about a year ago... since then he has been improving immensely... We are amazed at the excellent care that my Dad has had at Brighton Gardens... he's in great spirits and is more involved in social events, etc... The staff at BG REALLY CARE about their residents and their well-being... They always go the extra mile to accommodate and help their residents and their families in all ways possible... it's like a breath of fresh air with positive energy everywhere at BG... Their motto is "The Joy of Everyday"... they really do bring it... We're convinced that it's the best memory and dementia care facility in the country!

I was impressed with the level of knowledge that [Removed] has about Sunrise. She was able to answer a lot of our questions and brought in the head nurse to answer medical questions. The premises are well designed and maintained. The residents looked well cared for. Overall a very good impression.

They offer at least five different activities a day including on the weekends. The food is good and they offer a variety of choices. The staff are great and the community is kept clean. They know my parents by name and the dining room staff know them and what they like. They offer different levels of care.

This has a home life appeal here. A very comfortable atmosphere. The staff is wonderful and caring.The food was very appealing. My mother in law like the staff and still wants to come and visit the staff even though she will not move in to this community. A cheerful community that makes you feel like your at a large home that is your home. Families would benefit on the care at this community with the good value.
