My dad was welcomed into the Sunrise family on day one of his arrival . Sunrise felt like home and became my dad's home . My dad had a little over 2 yrs in apt 207 . My only wish is that he could have enjoyed it longer .

Fabulous community with a caring staff and appealing and well-maintained common areas and apartments! I am really impressed by the thoughtful details behind their assisted living apartments for seniors. Careful consideration is taken to make sure that safely and security is a top priority. I highly recommend a tour to experience for yourself the friendly and professional staff and superior accommodations!

Working with Mary Jo at Sunrise on Vernier has been a great experience. She truly knows her stuff—experienced, compassionate, and always focused on making sure seniors find the right community. I’ve done multiple tours with families, and Mary Jo goes out of her way to ensure everyone feels safe, informed, and welcomed. She genuinely cares, and it shows in everything she does.

My husband was treated like he was a problem instead of a sick person deserving of patience and kindness. When I voiced my concerns about residents left to wander in and out of each other’s rooms I was told that it is not one on one supervision and that’s just how it is. I was constantly given excuses not suggestions for improvement. I regret placing my husband here and he is doing much better in another facility.
