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.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Colorado asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.
