Sunrise of Danville

We went to Sunrise in Danville and that was the only community that we visited. It's a lot more better than a nursing home. Right now, our search for care is on hold. We're fine for now. If my father-in-law will be needing a place, this is going to be the one. But my dad is not ready for this. I must say that everybody in the community was very helpful, especially the staff. It's a nice visit.

I had a very positive experience with this facility. The volunteers I worked with were very enthusiastic and happy to be there. The seniors who lived there seemed to be happy and in good spirits. They seemed well cared for and genuinely enjoyed the company of the volunteers. They expressed their gratitude for our services. While I was there I was able to look at the dining commons and some of the rooms where the seniors lived. The dining commons and the bedrooms were very nicely decorated and kept up very well. My tasks usually involved cooking, reading and playing board games with the seniors. The room in which I played games and read books was decorated nicely and very clean. There was always a supervisor who worked there monitoring the volunteers and walking around to make sure that we were all doing our jobs. Overall, I would say I had a very positive experience at Sunrise Senior Living.

When you first enter the facility it is impressive..and the staff is friendly. After sitting with administration..it seemed affordable and wonderful fit. Soon that changed..the management started adding.on fees.for every little thing...my father's fees jumped almost $3000 by the time.Needless to.say..I was taken advantage of..his health did not change..but her monthly fees did!! When I sat down with administration again to discuss they told me it is cost of living and would not work with me to keep my father there.They asked me to give a 30 day notice. I visited other facilities..in which one told me that Sunrise does that when they no longer want a resident there...or the resident is disruptive during tours of the facility... I have since moved my father...and have learned a valuable lesson...when choosing a facility...ask upfront about fees/levels...don't get impressed by the exterior...be impressed by interior management...Sunrise is like a ferrari without an engine!!
