We recently moved our 94 yr old father into Sunrise of Livingston after 62 yrs in his home. All the staff are professional, warm, friendly and helpful. From the first time we met Tom Kenney and Robin Sugarman-Director of Sales, and Monica Braccini-Assistant Director of Sales, they have paid attention to every detail, spoken with respect to our Dad and addressed any concerns or requests. The food is excellent, and it is a beautiful, ultra clean, and safe environment. We could not be happier with our choice of Senior community living facilities.

As a healthcare professional who collaborates with senior living communities, I have had the pleasure of working with the team at Sunrise of Livingston, and I can confidently say they provide an exceptional level of care and service. The community is warm, welcoming, and well-managed, with a clear commitment to resident dignity, safety, and quality of life. The staff is attentive, compassionate, and responsive, not only to residents but also to families and outside care professionals. Communication is consistent and collaborative, which is key in ensuring continuity of care. I would also like to recognize Tom Kenney, Director of Sales, for his professionalism and integrity. Tom is knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely invested in helping families find the right fit for their loved ones. He takes the time to understand each situation and guides families through what can often be a very emotional and complex decision-making process.

I wanted to write this for sometime. My Dad had a fall in the spring that required him to be in acute rehab. Towards the end of that part of his recovery, we were looking for an assisted living location that was close to me. After visiting several facilities we chose Sunrise of Livingston. We were told up front that the pricing was based on a level of care. We knew my Dad was on the higher end of the care spectrum. The old saying, you get what you pay for plays well here. While the monthly pricing was higher, the level of care was spectacular. The team truly works as one to evaluate, align and put into the works a care program that truly enhances the residents overall mental and physical well being. My Dad was socialized quickly and each and every Sunrise team member bent over backwards to ensure he was living his best life at age 99. At his first dinner as a Sunrise resident, his eyes lit up when he was served a small glass of wine. While maybe not a big deal for some, for him it was his first libation since falling in mid-spring. He knew this was the beginning of a great experience at Sunrise. For anyone who has ever stayed at the hospital, it sometimes is a waiting game once you hit the button for help. At Sunrise, it constantly amazed me on how fast the team would arrive in my Dad's room if he needed assistance. I kid you not, 4 minutes on average!! The food, ambiance, and fellow residents made my Dad feel social again. I could on and on here, but unfortunately my Dad passed away a few weeks ago after a very short stay at the hospital. The Sunrise staff attended his funeral mass and you really understood how much they care for their residents. If you have a loved one or are deciding for yourself on a flexible care facility, I would give my most heartfelt recommendation for you to visit Sunrise of Livingston. Thank you Sunrise for taking such wonderful care of my Dad! You gave my brother and I the piece of mind that every family dreams of.
