Sunrise Senior Living

From the staff, who are kind, helpful, loving, caring, skilled and so compassionate, to the facility which is so clean, smells great, full of varied activities, attentive to the residents’ needs, to the wonderful and varied food selection that Dad says is great, Stratford is wonderful! When we first brought our dad to Stratford, we ran into family members of other residents. They raved about everything above. My siblings and I said to each other “can this really be as wonderful as everyone says?” The answer is YES! To all the families who are making this huge decision for their mom or dad, please know that you couldn’t do better for your loved one.

From my first dat at Sunrise, I have enjoyed my fellow residents. There is always someone to talk to or play a game with. I can even be the catalyst that puts a smile on someone's face when they are down. I love the "new look."

Nurses and care managers are kind and patient with mom. Mom isn't easy! She has a lovely big room with lots of windows and is quite content.

After many difficult experiences with other elder care facilities, we are grateful to have found sunrise of morris plains. They are committed to providing the best care to those who have done so much for others, our aging and now vulnerable loved ones.

Across the board, I just can't say enough glowing words to describe my experience with Wayland Sunrise thus far. I moved my Dad into Wayland Sunrise in May 2024. He's bound to a wheelchair and he's suffering significant cognitive decline. It's been such a relief to have such a thoughtful team looking over him, and it's been great to see him socializing a bit with other residents; he was previously living alone. Thank you so much: [names removed], and all of the other folks who are helping. I wish I could remember more of the names.

I was going to move mom but she has been so well cared for and improved every time from serious issues there care and understanding is awesome.

My daughter’s father-in-law was in and she and her husband like the place very much. It’s clean, friendly people and they took care of [name removed] needs and medical assistance that he needed. I highly recommend sunrise for anyone that is looking for a place for their elderly or someone in need of being taken care of that can’t take care of themselves.

I am a private caregiver for a resident of 20 months so I see first hand what goes on from day to day. I have nothing but good things to say, from Miriam at the front desk to Dorothy, a care manager of almost 20 years. Everyone here goes above and beyond to ensure the residents have the best care and experience possible.

The grounds set the stage for a well appointed facility. Things were happening with with activities and the staff members I met seen to be really dedicated to giving the residents the best experience possible.

She is no longer there as the rent went up and she needed less care. It was a good experience overall but we were not expecting the increase and it was outside of her budget. They spent a lot of money on a remodel and most of the living rooms were never used and not practical. The apartments were also very small. The chef left abruptly and very upsetting to the residents and after that food was below average.

Had a chance to visit a relative at Sunrise recently and had to share what a great experience it was. Everyone we had encountered from [names removed] were very welcoming and attentive. Speaking with them, you can tell they put their hearts in their work and care about the residents there, which is very reassuring. It’s nice to know that my family is treated like family, is well looked after, and feels like they’re right at home. I totally recommend this place if you’re looking for exceptional care for your family.

My sister is living at Sunrise for the past few months. Although she would love to be home, she is very comfortable at Sunrise and feels safe, busy and well fed. Her family is quite happy with the facility, the staff and being involved with us. I would not hesitate to place my loved ones here. I am always impressed with their accommodating residents with getting to Dr appointments and shopping and just the outings that are planned. Can't say enough. I'll go here too if life takes me on that direction.

My brother in law has received incredible care here. From the care managers to the Executive Director they have done everything in their power to put a smile on his face and make sure he is well taken care of. I can't thank them enough.

attentive, helpful and responsive

During a very difficult time in my family's life the staff at Sunrise Gardner Park was able to help comfort, educate and put my mind at ease regarding my mom's dementia condition and the added care they would/do give her that I could no longer provide at home.

[name removed] and [name removed] are fabulous. Very welcoming and engaging. The entire staff is super friendly and knowledgeable . Having companion helpers on site has been invaluable as well as the medical services of Bloom. The building and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The activities are numerous and varied so everyone has something to enjoy. We are very happy with everything.

My mom loves it there. I love the staff. No complaints. The staff is great! Activities are fun and they really involve the family as well. Lots of things to do and we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

From the moment I walked in the door, everything was amazing. The community is exceptionally clean, and every staff member was extremely attentive and more than kind.

Staff is friendly. The residents, like most 'dorm ' living situations, vary in personality & temperament. This makes for a challenge in getting along. If you participate in the activities, the cost is more reasonable than if you just sit in your room all day, just appearing for meals
