Sunrise Senior Living

I researched and visited several places before selecting Sunrise at Jackson. The overall deciding factor was the wonderful, caring staff. The residents there are treated like family, with loving, kind and genuine caring. The food and menu is excellent, the care team terrific. My father was having a difficult time with dealing with his loss of independence, but has acclimated beautifully. He actually has said he wished he did this sooner, and he really likes it there. I cannot express how good it feels to know that he is happy, well taken care of, and thriving.

Erin was great. We have decided to move our mother here. Our tour, the interactions with other staff members and the programming look great. It also seems affordable to our family. Thanks...

Putting my parents into senior living was the most agonizing and concerning decision and process I have ever experienced. I toured multiple facilities and the moment I walked into Sugar Valley Estates and met with "John" I knew I had found the new "home" away from "home" for my parents. When I returned with my father and we spent additional time touring the beautiful, clean and bright facility, meeting the staff and enjoying the complimentary lunch, the peace of mind and comfort of knowing this would be "the one" was surmountable. My parents have been living there for almost 7 weeks and have adjusted well, have been cared for and nurtured and are complimentary of all the staff. The on-site options for transportation, medical and non-medical assistance has provided such peace of mind and help for us to meet the continuous and changing needs my parents experience. It's comforting knowing we have such a positive and collaborative relationship with Sugar Valley Estates in the shared caregiving for my elderly parents. Thank you all and especially you John for being the instrumental force in making everything come together, you're an angel to us!

He seems to be happy at Sunrise of Alexandria. I'm very happy with everyone there. In comparison to our retirement community that we live in ourselves I think the value is really good. My children go to visit him there and they seem to think it is a good facility. So far so good here.

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.

Everybody seems really friendly at Belmont Village Scottsdale. All the staff and the director of operations were really approachable. If we have ever had any issues the staff were very quick to get everything resolved. Overall it's been a great experience at 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.
