The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Sunrise, FL for 2024

 

Sunrise is a Broward County city sandwiched between Fort Lauderdale and The Everglades. With a population of just over 97,000 residents, the city boasts a senior demographic that accounts for slightly above the U.S. average at 19%. Its health care costs are below average and there are several highly regarded hospitals only minutes away. Sunrise also has significantly lower levels of violent crime than the national average.

Assisted living is a type of residential care for seniors who can't perform activities of daily living without help, such as bathing and dressing. Residents get 24/7 assistance from trained staff who manage their medications and a social calendar that promotes physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Typically, private and semiprivate rooms are available, and many with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. The staff handles the housekeeping and meal preparation duties, freeing residents to enjoy more of their later years. The median monthly fee in Sunrise is $4,385, which is above Florida's average but below the country's.

This guide examines the benefits and drawbacks of living in Sunrise and compares its assisted living costs to nearby cities and other types of senior care. It also looks at ways to pay for care and lists free and low-cost resources for seniors in the city.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sunrise

 

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration's Bureau of Health Facility Regulation issues licenses to assisted living facilities that satisfy their criteria, usually involving matters such as resident care, staff training, fire safety and health and safety. The bureau can revoke a license from a facility that doesn't uphold standards. Typically, this involves reviewing complaints and conducting surprise inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sunrise

 

  • Quality medical facilities surround Sunrise. It's only 12 minutes from HCA Florida Plantation Emergency and eight minutes from HCA Westside Hospital, a 250-bed facility specializing in many areas of medicine. HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital is six minutes from the city and Holy Cross Health, regarded as high-performing in eight medical procedures, is 20 minutes east. Residents also benefit from 14 more physicians per 100,000 people when compared to the national average of 210.
  • With an average cost of living index of 105.1/100 that's above Florida's average of 103.1, it costs a little more to live in Sunrise compared to the typical Florida city. However, Sunrise is in the Miami metro area, so higher costs should be expected. Not all costs are higher, though, as the city's health care index is 99.2/100, which is noticeably below the state average of 102.3.
  • Property crime in Sunrise is high, at 47.5/100, which is above the national average of 35.4. Seniors worried about this figure should know that assisted living facilities have awake staff on duty around the clock and often have security and surveillance systems as well. The city's violent crime rates are 13.8/100, which is much lower than the national average of 22.7.
  • Sunrise illustrates Florida's reputation as The Sunshine State, providing 39 more sunny days than the 205 national average. The combination of high rainfall and temperatures reaching highs of 90 degrees mean humidity can be challenging during the summer months. However, the winter months rarely see temperatures dip below a comfortable 57 degrees and rainfall is lower, greatly improving the air quality.
  •  The city's air quality rating of 65/100 is higher than the country's 58, which adds to its overall health cost index of 96/100. The water quality rating of 50 is five points below average, but the general environment is becoming healthier because Sunrise is part of the EPA's Superfund project to clean up contaminated land.
  • The City of Sunrise provides free transportation on fixed routes via its mini-bus service. Sunrise residents aged 62+ who can no longer drive are also eligible for the medical transportation program.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Assisted living's monthly median fee of $4,385 is the same as home health care, but the latter service doesn't provide 24/7 care, meals or accommodation. In-home care is cheaper, at $4,195, but this choice doesn't offer these benefits either. The same applies to adult day care, although, at $1,517 per month, it's significantly more affordable than the other options. The costliest alternative to assisted living is nursing home care, which averages a monthly fee of $9,019 for meals, accommodation, personal care and medical support.
