“My mom spent only a short time at Sunrise of Wayne before she passed away but she was well cared for and surrounded by Sunrise staff who treated her with dignity and kindness during her final days. Choosing Sunrise of Wayne is a decision we are very glad we made. They are good people.”

“I wish we found Arden Courts at Wayne earlier for my dad. He came from another memory care and they could not care for him. However, Arden Courts did. They took care of him to the end. Their care, compassion and support for all of us was unforgettable. Arden Courts in Wayne know what they are doing.”

“My Dad resided here in his last days. The Bristal is a caring, nurturing assisted living experience. You’re loved ones are in good gands.”
