Santosh and his team are caring, patient and very kind to my mom. The nursing and events staff have also been amazing.

My mom has been living in the Memory Care neighborhood of Sunrise of Boulder for almost a year now, and I can't be happier with the care she has received! Santosh and his staff are wonderful -- so friendly, attentive, and helpful in all ways. My mom was on hospice when she moved into Sunrise, but she "graduated" off after six months, I believe in large part because of the care she has received and the community she is now part of. I am so thankful for Sunrise!

My wife Nancy received wonderful care as she dealt with Alzheimer's disease at Sunrise of Boulder. The director, leadership staff, caregivers, those who clean the rooms-- everyone was engaged and supportive. Many have been with Sunrise since it started over twenty years ago, and their values have been passed to all newcomers. Personal attention, group activities, and pleasant surroundings come together to create a sense of community and belonging as residents face difficult times.
