Sunrise of Scottsdale

I like Sunrise of Scottsdale. We saw a lot of staff and they seemed happy and had been there for many years. We liked it the best, but it was the most expensive, and they have a waiting list. It reminded me of my mom's home and almost like her decor. They were taking the residents somewhere on the shuttle, and they were all happy. There was a dog that looks exactly like my mom's. Everybody that work there came up and introduced themselves to us, and they were all nice. They had the activities posted and they had things going on all day long. They had exercise, gardening, they take them shopping, they go out to eat, and they had cognitive classes. It's quite big, so there were a lot of people there. It was nice and homey.

I went to visit my friend at Sunrise of Scottsdale. We had a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting inside. It's very nice. I heard last week that my friend is very happy in the memory care section. The caregivers seemed to be attentive when I was there and on top of things and accommodated all of us for the luncheon. The dining area was very nicely decorated and attractive.

Sunrise of Scottsdale is a nice enough place, but it's older. It's physically not as modern. The staff member was good. She spent as much time as we needed. The décor felt like an "old lady" designed it, which they do intentionally to make the older people feel at home. That way it doesn't feel like they're in a resort or a hotel. They probably need to update the décor. To me it feels old.

I visited Sunrise of Scottsdale. They were very nice, very knowledgeable, and took me around. It's had a nice entrance, but that's about it. There's nothing extreme about it. They showed me the different rooms, the dining room, and the playrooms. It didn't look that modern. It's just a building, and it didn't impress me too much. The staff seemed like they knew what they're talking about.

My mom has moved into Sunrise of Scottsdale. We like the location and also she has a really beautiful room. They got a pretty spacious place, and the people are great. It is super clean. I’ve had a couple of meals there, and I would give them a 5. She has issues with her memory, and they have a memory care unit, which is what we wanted as well. So if she progresses to that point, she has that option there.

Sunrise of Scottsdale is very nice and very well-kept. It has individual rooms, they seem to have good caregivers, and they are more engaged with profiling and getting to know my mom. Staff seems very attentive to my mother’s needs, knows their residents, seems to report to a good chain of command from the lead caregiver to the nurses, and good communication to the family in regards to progress, daily routines, noticing anything that may help her fulfill her day, and lots of activities.

Sunrise of Scottsdale was nice, but they didn't have any rooms available. The staff was very nice, friendly, and accommodating. The residents looked happy.

So far Sunrise has been the best facility that I have experienced. The care has been very good, and of less importance but nice, is that the facilities are very nice as well. If I were to say anything negative it would be that I think they could improve on the quality of their food. I think the food is adequate but certainly nothing exciting. The nursing, the care, the quality of the caregivers, and the responsiveness to my mother’s needs have been great. They have a lovely lobby, open patios in the front, and a very nice restaurant. They have two lounges on the ground floor; they have 1-bedroom and a studio apartments. Upstairs, they have an activities room, and the third floor is memory care. My mother’s apartment is on the ground floor and has its own doorway out onto the outside sort of yard and patio areas. It’s very clean, and each suite has its own bathroom.

I was not very impressed with Sunrise of Scottsdale. Every summer, it’s too hot and there aren't any activities going on. Their rooms were clean and well kept. Their dining area was nice, and I am satisfied with the food that they offered.

Sunrise is comfortable, clean, and inviting. They had a nice green outside, as you come in, with plants. The director of marketing was very confident, very friendly, and open. She introduced me to a few residents, saw a couple of rooms that were different sizes, and saw the dining, meals, and the activity boards. It was very nice and pleasant; however, the cost was more expensive.

We went to Sunrise of Scottsdale, and it was great. The people we sat with and talked to were fabulous, more than helpful in answering all of the questions that we had, and showed us around. If possible, we would have gone there. The rooms and apartments seem like a pretty good size. It was gorgeous and very nice.

Sunrise was a little fancy and beautiful. We didn’t see many residents out and about doing things, but overall, the place seemed very welcoming and warm. You can tell the residents really enjoyed it there. The rooms were very nice, but I was a little concerned about cost. The food was excellent, of good quality, and came in healthy portions; it wasn’t over-flavored, but it wasn’t under-flavored, either. The caretakers that we saw were very engaged with the residents. They had a poor calendar of activities, but the neighborhood was good. It’s in a beautiful setting and a little set back from the road.

Sunrise of Scottsdale was the best out of all the communities we've seen. It's a really nice, clean place, and I liked the apartments. They had a lot of scheduled activities. They stated that my mother would have a dedicated caretaker, and I like that idea. The lady who gave us the tour showed us three kinds of rooms, and they were fine and well furnished. The atmosphere was very homey. The grounds were gorgeous, as well.

I like the atmosphere, the size of the apartments, and the way we are treated at Sunrise of Scottsdale. I also like that it's an end-of-life facility with a memory unit, so we will not have to move my stepfather.

I visited Sunrise of Scottsdale for my brother. It was extremely nice and very friendly. There were lots of people there and residents sitting out and about. They had a resident dog in the lobby, which was really cute. However, they did not have a room, and the facility was for older people than my brother. Also, I didn’t see many men there at the time.

I visited Sunrise of Scottsdale for my mom. It was nice. The only reason I didn't choose them is because it was way farther from my home. They were very nice. The lobby was very nice, but I knew right away that I didn't want to turn there because it would take me longer to go visit it every day.

I like Sunrise of Scottsdale, and my mother liked it also at the time. It appealed to someone who is older because they tried to make it look like something from her era. Everyone seemed nice. The rooms were well maintained, but not spacious. There's nothing wrong with the place -- it's homey looking.

The staff at Sunrise of Scottsdale are extremely helpful, accommodating, and very personable. It has a very home-like atmosphere and not sterile. The rooms are great and well maintained. They were freshly painted and cleaned when we moved in. There are good amenities too. My mother already needs all the help she can gey, so they all have the handicapped features in place as well as the emergency cords. There are a lot of staff members always available. It is very nice, and we feel very fortunate that we got a very large space for both of my parents. They have lots of things like regular trips. They have trips for breakfast and lunch, food shopping, pharmacy, and Wal-Mart. They had a really lovely holiday brunch for Mother's Day. They have bingo, movies, and crafts. There is always something going on. The thing that struck me most about the place is that the residents are always up and about whether they are in the café or just watching TV. They try really hard to get everybody out of their rooms. They have these rocking chairs in front of the place, so if the residents wander outside, they can sit and enjoy the shade. They do a lot, and there are people around all the time. The food was good when we tried it during the Mother's Day brunch. I was kind of skeptical because they were serving families with salmon, but they really did a good job with it.

I met Carol in Sunrise of Scottsdale, and she was very helpful and very friendly. The facility was nice, and they had a lot of activities. It's dog friendly, and they allow people to have pets. They have dogs in the lobby, which was nice. My mother has a dog, and she likes that. But the facility was a little bit older.

Caring106677550

I do visit people at Sunrise of Scottsdale. The staff is very good and very friendly. They have a lot of people on-board, a lot of caregivers -- four caregivers per shift. The food is good. The people are very caring. They have a lot of activities like arts and crafts, poker, bingo, and they take them on trips. It's a good place, and it is clean.

Sunrise of Scottsdale would be my second choice from all the facilities I've visited. We met a lot of the workers and they seemed to be very nice. They showed us around the facility and it was very clean. What was kind of interesting about their facility though is that they had doors that automatically close to block off the different wings of the building in case there was a fire. They could block off parts of the building so the fire would not spread. They have a very nice dining right off the front lobby and they had a little snack bar in the lobby. Their décor was a little bit more Victorian looking although little less modern, but it was clean and cute.

They have bingo, cards, parties and bbqs. They are planning a sock hop, /they bring in outside entertainment. They take the residents on community walks.

Sunrise is a small, elegant facility, with lots of personal attention to the residents. I've seen them modify a penthouse unit, prior to a lady moving in, to ensure her happiness. She was thrilled with her new apartment, and she says that they treat her like a queen.
