Sunrise Senior Living

It was brand new when I looked at it and it’s more of a senior living place than a nursing home. I really liked the way it looked and the caregiver ratio was good. It was new; I liked that part about it. They have those individual rooms. I just don't know if that was the right place for my mom because of the level of care she needs. She needs a lot.

I just loved it. I almost went with them but after I filled out the paperwork and gave the deposit and everything it was like how do you protect them from falling at night? They’re not allowed to put bars on their beds and there are really no sensors or anything built in so for my mom there was a high likely hood of falling. I'd have to stay there during the night. It was really a nice place though. It really looked like a happy place to be but even though you have good care and activities and all these lovely things, it's not what my mom needs. She needs really constant supervision and interaction.

I want to provide a different perspective from someone who has a loved one at Sunrise versus a review based on what seems to be a short tour of Sunrise Scottsdale. This was one of the most emotional decisions our family has ever had to make. My mother has lived in the Assisted Living section of Sunrise for almost a year. She is an 83 year old diabetic with memory, motivation, and depression issues that the doctor calls mild cognitive impairment. She lived with me for nine months after her husband passed and I could not provide the care for her that Sunrise does. The activities and outings are fun and engaging and they get her motivated to get up; the staff is tremendous! They sincerely care for each resident as if they were their own parent; I have experienced it first-hand. I couldn't be more pleased with the nursing staff and medical technicians. The facility is clean and decorated much like a Southern home. The activity room is constantly busy with planned activities for residents - and the Activity Director is attentive, vivacious and fun. (There is also a Bistro downstairs for card playing if desired.) Also, there are several activities that involve family members which allows all of us to "hang out" with her in her environment. We toured several facilities: some were beautiful but too large to feel like "home". Sunrise fit the bill perfectly. (Some facilities were quite depressing!) And face it, this level of care is not cheap! If you're looking for an intimate, "homelike" care facility where the staff treats the residents like family with open and accessible communication, the food is delicious, and the activities and outings are stimulating - then look no further! We are thrilled that our mom is comfortable and as happy as she can be.

My mother-in-law is in independent living, not assisted living so she doesn't get any of the care but what she has is good. If she needs something she is cared for. She plays bingo, sit down zumba, the plays Wii. My only suggestion would be to have more meal flexibility and options. You have to sit and eat a certain time and their Sunday schedule is sandwiches and things like that if you don't do brunch.

Very nice place and gentle considerate help.

overall review of the facility was pleasing. Staff friendly and helpful. Competent and willing to take care of resident as needed. Pleasant surroundings with activities for all to enjoy.

I was very pleased except it was too far away. My mom was in the transitions unit which is for early dementia. Staff is friendly, caring and involved.

This is a wonderful place.

Sunrise is terrific! I am very pleased with it and think it is going to be very helpful for my husband.

We visited this one. It was probably our second choice but we just couldn't afford it. We liked everything about it: the location, the staff was very nice, the rooms were very nice, and it was clean. I was wonderful. I wished we could have afforded it.

We picked Sunrise of Decatur because dad had been in a sunrise independent living community in Boca Raton. They made the move easy and we have all felt welcomed by the community It was the right choice for dad who is doing better here than he had been in Stratford Court

My father has not been there very long but already they have impressed me with their caring, involved attitudes. They seem really sensitive to the needs of my father, and my family.

My mother-in-law was there but she did really like the community atmosphere. It was anything about the community. She just wanted to live alone. I really liked it. I thought it was a very nice place but she didn't like it because she thought it was just a bunch of old people, even though she was older than they were. It's very clean and the people are very friendly. We still have another relative there that is doing great. We visit her sometimes for the Friday happy hours.

During the whole process we were treated courteously and respectfully. They were very clear in their explanation of the cost, the care and the logistics of the stay. The care givers are kind and patient and you know that they really care about your loved one. We are thrilled to be able to be a part of the Sunrise comunity!

Very happy with Sunrise, and feel confident with the staff. My mom enjoys her room and loves the food including the wine at lunch.

I found Sunrise to be the perfect size and atmosphere for my mother, who was in the early stages of ALZ when she moved in over 3 years ago. The staff was attentive, caring and seemed to get to know my mother's needs and desires quickly. Over the years not only the staff but other resident's family members know my mother's name and speak to her when they see her. That is a comfort to me because it tells me that the resident's are long term - not just moving from community to community tring to find the right fit. We found the right fit too...

Very friendly staff and well trained. They worked hard to ensure that everything went smoothly. Very nice people.

Liked the homey, cheerfulness feeling of Sunrise. The cost is a bit steep, but you get what you pay for.

From the moment Mom arrived at Sunrise, she was greeted by smiling, helpful faces and kind words. At first, she had a hard time making the adjustment to senior living and felt that she was giving up all of her independence (I was told this is normal). Her words were I took care of myself for over 90 years and now you/they think I can't do anything on my own. The staff all worked with her and she came to realize that everyone wanted her to maintain her individuality and independence; the staff is there to assist and aid her at those times when she needs it. We have been delighted with her care and her involvement with all the activities. The staff really do listen to all suggestions brought to them by the residents and attempt to act on all of them so that everyone feels that they have a voice in making their lifestyle truly theirs. We, my brothers and I, feel that Mom is in a great environment and happy and best of all, we know that she is safe. I have recommended Sunrise of Lafayette Hill to many people and will continue to do so.

I have my Mother there and she is getting excellent care. The staff could not be more helpful.
