Toured this location for myself, even though I'm very young, everyone was incredibly welcoming and answered all my questions. Even though I had so many, I toured the whole facility and the staff is truly wonderful and has been there many many years and really cares about the people there. It's a wonderful, warm community and all the residents seem to love it there and it has the appropriate care level that I need. I'm very pleased with this place and I would be happy living there

When my husband arrived back to Sunrise after an extended hospital and rehab stay, everyone worked so hard getting him back to walking, eating, self care and dressing. He made great progress even before the official physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy were approved and arrived a few weeks later. Hats off and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The difference in my mother's health, acuity and strength from before her moving in to a few months after is a remarkable testament to the care she receives at Sunrise. The staff is warm, the ambience is calm and peaceful and joyful too.
