I toured recently with my father and we were impressed with the facilities and staff, from what we saw. In addition to ensuring us they work with Medi-Cal waiver programs, the sales team offered us a great move-in rate and discounts, and even followed up with us twice to encourage us to sign. However, when we expressed our desire to move dad in about a week later, they said “corporate” would not be allowing any additional Medi-Cal recipients at the community. We felt disappointed and I expressed that to the sales director, who again blamed corporate. It’s already a very trying process to find a facility that your loved one feels comfortable in and that is within their budget. I wish Sunrise would have been organized enough up front to inform us of any limitations on lower-income folks. It’s demoralizing, to say the least.

I had a wonderful experience with this Sunrise of Carmichael Senior living community. The Executive Director was amazing, and the nurse and entire staff were very personable, caring, and attentive. They made everyone feel welcomed and supported. You can truly tell they care about their residents. Highly recommend! Huge thank you to Shirley for inviting us.

Really impressed with Sunrise of Carmichael. Their specialized memory care programs, like the Terrace Club, are a total game-changer and give families so much peace of mind. The facility is clean, warm, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. It feels like a genuine community rather than just a care center. Definitely worth a look if you’re in the area.

Warm, welcoming environment with a true home-like feel. The staff are consistently kind, gentle, and attentive with residents, and you can feel the care in how they interact day to day. A special highlight is the chef—great attention to meals and presentation, which adds to the overall experience.

This is an excellent assisted living facility. The building itself is just as pictured; clean, well maintained and inviting. Every member of the staff has been friendly and kind. They are attentive to the residents and their individual needs and desires. The dining experience is much like a restaurant. Residents are provided a menu to select their meal. Meals include fresh fruits and vegetables. These are people who seem to genuinely CARE about the people they are caring for. My family member is very happy here. He is able to get the physical and medical assistance he needs while still having his own space that feels like home.
