Sunny View

D.L.

I liked Sunny View Retirement Community. It has been there since 1964. It has a vibrant culture, it looked nice, and had a homey feel to it. They have an active building program, so they always seem to be adding and improving their facilities. I also liked that it's a nonprofit and that it offers a continuum of care. There's a lot of green space between the buildings. So, there's a lot of open space, and I think it's the largest campus of all the ones I saw. It's already full, so we looked at some units that were already occupied. They were set up well, and I liked them. They offered a wide range of activities, too.

I love Sunny View. The people are amazingly kind and helpful. I've been so surprised at how wonderful the people have been, which you don't always find in retirement communities. Everything is included, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They give you two entrees on the menu and choices for dessert, soup, and salad. The food is good. They have all of the things that you want, like buses to take you shopping, people coming in to do shows for you, a section with a library and games, and a theater for movies. They have a shopping room where people can donate things to it, and once a week it's open for the residents to come and buy at low prices. They have a doctor who comes in on a regular basis. You can come in as individual living then you can go towards assisted living, all the way to a section for Alzheimer's patients. They have beautiful grounds and little fountains that are well kept. My mother chose to live in the villas and I love them. It's like a two-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. She walks out her back sliding patio and has this enclosed gorgeous garden area. She can set out a table, chairs, and an umbrella, and she has places to put potted plants. It has a beautiful iron gate that you can walk out of in order to go to the dining facility. The staff is amazing, and they have all kinds of activities.

We placed my father-in-law at Sunny View and he's happy there. It seemed really good, we didn't smell any urine, and it seemed very clean. The residents are very nice to each other, and the employees are very nice to the residents. The food is good. It's not spectacular, but they present it very nicely. They have exercise classes every day for different levels, social activities almost every day, and it's up to the residents to decide if they want to paricipate. My father-in-law has fallen a couple of times and within minutes they are right there helping him.

Sunny View was very nice. I was able to visit the homes, and they looked very nice. The staff and the residents were very friendly.

When we went there at Sunny View Retirement, they didn't have anybody to really show us around. We kind of walked around, and it seems like a much older facility. I think it needs renovation because it looked more clinical to me. It didn't seem as inviting as the other ones we have visited. I kind of looked in the dining room. It wasn't cafeteria style, but it was OK. We didn't really get to really see what the memory care unit looked like, but we could just tell that it wasn't what we were looking for. The first impression wasn't great.

We went to the rooms at Sunnyview, and they were very spacious. The dining area was good. The staff were very courteous and everything you would expect them to be in a pretty difficult situation.
