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.

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.

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.

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.
