While visiting a dear friend at Sunrise in the last six months, one can not ignore the comfortable home like atmosphere that exists there. The staff consistently demonstrate kindness and compassion towards all residents and treats them like family, with affirmations and dignity! The place constantly bustles with activities, inhouse teachings, music, sing-alongs and various socials activities that keep residents engaged. Safety appears to be the upmost with secure monitoring at all times. All residents, without exception appear to enjoys their community as a result. It is very encouraging to see!!

My beloved family member has resided at Sunrise for about two years now. The staff is always kind and attentive to him, as my mom would have said "They make him feel like a million bucks!" In my opinion, Sunrise is very well run, always clean and organized. But the very best thing is that the staff always is consistently kind and loving AND they radiate the fact that they love their jobs!

Sunrise was a nice place for my Mom. The staff was nice, however, there was very little transportation to get residence to their appoints. Also very little engagement beside the exercise classes and an occasional singer once or twice a month. The main reason I moved my mother was because of the 16 percent increase. $6500 to $7600. My Mom was there 3 1/2 years and gave no consideration regarding the huge increase. Be careful and ask what was the increases in the last 3 years to really get a feel for the place

Great assisted living facility. My sister resides here. Staff are thoughtful helpful and knowledgeable about care for memory impaired. Even the kitchen staff knows her preferences and strives to assure she is eating. Facility is clean and updates are made frequently new windows were installed in every room recently. The nursing care and personal care provided is excellent. They identify issues and communicate with me if intervention or treatment is needed. Not sure what the issue was about Medication List for other reviewer. I have frequently discussed and am always aware of what medications my sister is taking.

My mother lived at Sunrise for the last 4 1/2 years of her life. At times those years were the most challenging, yet Sunrise of Norwood made them bearable for both of us. She had her own room and bathroom for 4 years and shared a room with one lovely resident for the last months to save $. I could eat meals with her and participate in activities with her as well. They used to have an incredible artist who painted and colored with the residents (unfortunately she left), and still have other fun activities, exercise, etc. The building itself is gorgeous and at the same time homey. The staff became family and I came to love each and every one of them. Money is a factor unfortunately, but I can tell you that it was money well spent.
