I have changed my review due to lack of care for residents

Been a terrific experience for my nearly 80 year old mother. The start was stressful- as was CLEARLY and CAREFULLY explained- and since those first transitional months- the good days have far surpassed the bad ones. Long tenured, caring, passionate staff are amazing. This place is not overly fancy (no grand piano, fireplace, swimming pool or crystal chandelier) but it is homey...and the little community my mom has found is worth it 100%. Other Assisted Livings can have all the fancy bells and whistles (cost twice as much- and say "We Care More")but at the end of the day Sunrise at Cherry Creek epitomizes care done right. Much appreciated!

It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for the team at Sunrise Senior Living. From day one, the staff has treated my friend John with genuine compassion, dignity, humor, and kindness — not just as a resident, but as family.<br><br>Dana Gill has gone far above and beyond helping navigate difficult insurance and financial questions, even taking the initiative to make calls and help find solutions personally. Samantha Archibald brings incredible leadership, professionalism, humor, and efficiency, and always seems to know exactly how to help. Chanel is truly one of the brightest lights in the building — welcoming, caring, positive, and always willing to help with absolutely anything.<br><br>I also want to especially recognize Angela and the clinical staff. The care and attention they’ve given John has been remarkable, especially with the severe swelling he was experiencing in his legs. The improvement has honestly been amazing and has made such a difference in both his health and comfort.<br><br>What impresses me most is the culture of care throughout the entire community. The CNAs and clinical staff don’t just “do their jobs” — they laugh with residents, joke with them, encourage them, and truly care about them as people. You can feel the humanity and compassion the moment you walk through the doors.<br><br>Sunrise is incredibly fortunate to have such an exceptional team, and families like ours are incredibly fortunate to have them caring for the people we love.

I went to an event there and was impressed by how clean the facility was, and I liked the atmosphere.There was no “nursing home” smell in the halls, and the staff I met and talked to were friendly and kind to the residents. I loved talking with some of the residents- when asked, they said they are lhappy with where they were living.<br>It is a very nice community.
