My brother became a resident of the memory care floor at Sunrise of Metairie on June 1st. He settled in quickly with the excellent care he received. I am so impressed with the staff and the accommodations. They are only a phone call or text away from me. I highly recommend this facility.

I recently attended a bloom bar network event at Sunrise Assisted Living and was truly impressed. The facility is beautiful, with a lovely aquarium of angelfish and discus that sets a serene tone. The décor, including a gorgeous bouquet in the lobby, was just perfect. They’re even introducing a resident dog Golden retriever named Promise, which is such a thoughtful touch. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making everyone feel right at home. Highly recommend!

From the time I walked into the doors at Sunrise senior living I knew it was the perfect place for mom. Stacey D. In the business office was so thorough with her consult and gentle with her explanation; we knew mom was in the perfect place. Sunrise senior living feels like home and I will refer any of my friends and family to Sunrise. Very very happy with our experience. It’s fine
