Sunrise Senior Living

The majority of staff members are caring and responsive. The energy is positive. This is an older building. Replacements are needed in the apartments. I would like to see a more robust response to maintaining and replacing worn out HVAC systems and plumbing issues, etc.

It's been okay. We picked this community because of the price.

My loved one has been a resident of Sunrise for approximately 2 years. She adjusted quickly to her new environment and is enjoying her new home. It gives us, as a family, a sense of peace knowing that she is happy and content. She loves being pampered by the staff. They are there to assist her in the morning when it’s time to bath and get dressed and when it’s time to get ready for bed at the end of the day. She loves having someone to prepare her meals and eating in a dining room full of other persons. She thinks she’s in a restaurant. Since my loved one joined the Sunrise Family, she has required additional assistance in some of her needs. The staff recognized these needs and made immediate adjustments. The staff makes sure she receives the medical attention she needs and is given her meds at the required times every day. Each staff member is responsible for a number of residents, but they make a concerted effort to give all of the them the same level of attention.

Overall very good, but very expensive compared to other facilities. But their level of care is higher and much more attentive. For people who need a lot of care, this is the place that will give it to them. It was already expensive and they raised our rates twice in less than one year, so that was not good. Not a lot of activities compared to other places (not enough organized trips outside the facility ), but for residents that need a lot of care they can't go out much anyway. Food is very good! Overall staff is good, had a few staff issues but not nearly as bad as the two other places my loved one was at. Cozy homey feel and not too large of a place. Overall very good place if your loved one needs a high level of care, but you will pay a lot for it!

Sunrise has been a pleasant surprise experience for myself and our family. This is not the first experience with nursing home care and none prior were acceptable. No place is perfect and not everyone gives of themselves in caring for the aging adults. But our experience with Sunrise has given myself some relief and concerns about how my mom is making it everyday. The staff present and past have exceeded my expectations. Without the care my mom is receiving, I'm not sure what type of existence we would be in today. I feel the Staff knows that we have the upmost respect for the manner in which they care for my mom. My recommendation for this facility is very high. As stated, no place is perfect but I have peace of mind knowing my mom is safe and cared for here.

My husband and I both still wish he was able to be here! Staff at Sunrise of Johns Creek are friendly; kind; helpful.

Sunrise, like most facilities, is breathtakingly expensive. And it has some issues. But overall I'd recommend it. Here's why: Sunrise does two-person transfers. Very few personal care facilities offer this. It also hires RNs for the director of nursing--a major step up from the LPNs almost every other in town facility hires. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful. That's a big deal. Residents get a wide variety of choices daily with food, with servers who take their orders and serve them just like what you'd expect at a restaurant. Rooms are bright and modern. The facility also has safety features, like an automatic firewall, few facilities have, and it has routine emergency drills for residents and staff. Residents get meds on time and as prescribed. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but you'd be surprised at places where staff don't give meds as they're intended. Sunrise does. Sunrise does have some staffing issues. Staff can be inaccessible and occasionally abrasive. For the amount of money paid per month by residents, that simply shouldn't happen. Management is working to resolve staffing issues. No place is perfect. Sunrise does have some issues. But on the whole, it's a good facility that gives good care to residents. I recommend it.

Honestly the facility is lovely and all the staff are super friendly and helpful. I saw one other and it was lovely as well with a slight higher cost but it had a shared bathroom. This facility was picked as it was very nice and had a private bathroom.

I would recommend.It was my dad's decision and that is what he chose. The services there are good.

View several places and try to have an idea if pt is memory care or not, view both and ask a lot of questions. They need to improve on Dr/nursing communication. It is better now but I had to go to admin more than once to get help.

Great facilities but sometimes staff don't clean in a timely manner and nursing type care is sometimes less than optimal.

My parents lived on the Assisted side a little over a year. Dad moved to Skilled Nursing after mom passed, when he needed more care. I'd rank Brighton 70-75th%. The AL side is aesthetically nicer (especially the common areas); the care was a mixed bag. Also, there are few truly handicapped rooms/bathrooms on the Assisted side. These things (unfortunately) contributed to dad's many falls. The care is better in Skilled Nursing (as one would expect), but this side is not kept as clean, and some things are in disrepair. That said, no place is perfect, and overall my sister and I are satisfied with this community. Most of the employees seem dedicated and caring, and they have become a strong support network for us. Recognizing VERY few communities will rank 80-95% in satisfaction, I WOULD recommend Brighton Gardens of Edison to others.

I have lived in a cottage in Independent Living at The Colonnades for almost 7 years. It is a great place to call home. I have made many new friends and connected with a few friends from my past. The staff and residents have been very welcoming and I feel comfortable living in this community. The location is great. Shopping, banking, medical center and entertainment are very easy to access. If you don’t drive, the Transportation team will take you where you need to go. And if the time comes when extra care is needed, there is a Health Center that offers Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing floor and a Memory unit. A few years ago, I was a patient in Skilled Nursing and received excellent care from the staff there. Coming to the Colonnades was a good decision for me. I am happy not to have a house to care for anymore. Living in this beautiful and friendly community and enjoying all the services that are offered has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it.

We picked this community because it was, friendly, long-lasting staff, and caring. Also, the price. I would recommend to others.

We selected it for its location and smaller size. When we were there, the residents seemed happy and friendly to us and each other. We were quite pleased. Communication with staff was good.We were relieved that our mother was out of her home and well cared for. It gave us a peaceful feeling that she was not alone.

I felt happy with my mother's care and the sincerity of the caretakers. When I first walked in I knew it was the one and needed to look no more. It had a safe and homey feeling.I want to empathize that meal time is something everyone can look forward to enjoying even if little else is available to them. The food was very disappointing and below average. I took occasional meals with my mom so had an opportunity to experience it first hand.

Wonderful staff, a little expensive, great food. Decent communication.

They are just super friendly and everyone is always smiling :) The activities director is awesome. The reason I give them a three is because one they only allow one hour for the first seating to actually get in, sit down, place their order, get fed, and I have to be out for the second seating. They really need to extend the first seating by at least 15 minutes because their residents are very rushed to eat. I also give them a three because their portions are very small, but the quality of the food is good

Jefferson is an excellent facility in a very convenient location. Restaurants, shopping, healthcare all within walking distance. Many activities on-site as ell as frequent trips to museums, concerts, etc. Costs have been increasing, but I think that is the case with most full service facilities.

The staff are very good, we are happy with Brighton Gardens and would recommend them to others. But getting in touch with staff or responses about medical and prescription questions, not so great.
