Sunrise Senior Living

I toured Brighton Gardens and I didn't like that when we took the tour they said they could get my wife in for respite care. We needed respite care for a couple weeks to a month, we were looking for a place that would allow her to recuperate after being in the hospital. Everything happened very fast, but a day or two later they called back and said she couldn't stay for respite. That ruined all of their credibility in my book.

They have been helpful and friendly. The food was better in the beginning. They have a new chef, so maybe things will change. The value for the money is good but it's a little pricey. We picked this place because, It seemed to get a good recommendation from APFM, they had subsidy program which was factor, and for the price it was better than other places. When I walked it was no smell, so that let me know, that it was well maintained and clean.

It was more money, than some of the other places. it wa a closer location. The people were friendly and answered all of my questions.

Our family had an in person tour experience and it was a nice tour but one of the reason we wanted to pick a community was based off of their meals and since we did not get the chance to have one we didn't pick it

Our family had an in person tour and the tour was good as well as the sales person who we worked with. We were able to eat a small meal and it was good but we were able to have a full meal experience and for us to make a decision we wanted to be able to have a full meal.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a very good tour experience, the dining hall felt like you were walking into a country club with a luxurious atmosphere. The meal we were able to eat was wonderful

This community was nice; a little too pricey for us. Also, my loved one didn't like the location.

The building was a little dated and the community was great. However, it was too far for my loved ones.

The community itself seems to be very nice and overall the value is completely worth it. We aren't able to judge the meals because our loved one has to have pureed meals so its hard to know whether its good or not.

I liked sunrise, especially, the dog. The halls were very dark and narrow to me, and rooms seemed small. The price tag was not small!

What has really stuck out to me about Sunrise of Newton is definitely the quality of care that they provide.

This was a nice community. The community was dated community and it would be nice to see this updated in the bathrooms to make them walk-in showers for the residents. It was also too expensive for us.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a really nice experience

I think Sunrise is a good place and we'd be happy to tell others about the facility and staff.

There are not to many activities on the memory care side, and they could work on improving their overall friendliness, helpfulness and cooperation. Sometimes when we ask them to do things it does not get done.

This facility is good for assisted living, but I wouldn't recommend memory care. It's very clean and always smells nice. The food was good quality and had a good variety. The financial structure is confusing, they use a daily rate versus a monthly rate. Some of the care givers could have been more empathetic. Some of them weren't as attentive as I would have liked. Others were very good. They just seemed to be overworked. The care supervisor and wellness supervisor were both very helpful. It wasn't horrible here, it was ok. Ultimately, we wanted a smaller place. Memory care needs more one on one care and less residents to really get the care they need. I would recommend them for assisted living but not memory care.

Sunrise of Morris Plains was a nice facility. I like they had a wing for the Alzheimer's/Dementia community. The admissions lady was sweet and very informative. The price was just a little too steep for what we could afford.

I do overall think Sunrise of Willowbrook is a very good facility. This was the first assisted living place that my loved one ever lived in. We did have one issue where she was moved into a 2 bedroom suite. She was there alone for weeks and they ended up moving a roommate in with her which was fine. They did not get along and they moved our loved one out even though she was there longer and was already adjusted and used to that room - so then she had to readjust to another one. We felt the issue could have been handled a little bit better, but the whole experience was a learning process for all of us. It is overall a great facility.

I toured this facility and it was ok. The staff was very friendly. Facility was not as new as some of the others. I really liked that they have a rescue animal on each floor as a community pet.

Our Dad was one of the original residents of Aspired Living of Westmont when it first opened. Like all families we had our concerns of moving Dad from our Family home to an assisted living facility. I can say that we are happy that we did! Dad made so many new friends while he was a resident. Friends that consisted of fellow residents, staff members and other family members of residents. What separated Aspired Living from the other assisted living facilities was the staff. The staff treated our Dad as if he was a family member of their own. We knew this because Dad had medical rehab at other facilities that we thought could be a good fit for Dad. They were not. Unfortunately Dad passed away late last year and we still stop in to visit with Dads friends and the staff. So many fond memories!
