We toured Sunrise of Petaluma. We took our mom and had lunch there; I would seriously consider it. They had a private room, like a dorm room, with a little refrigerator, a full bath, and a bedroom. They have the dining room, they offer house cleaning, laundry service, and they have different activities throughout the day. They had a memory care section if my mother would need that. The staff was wonderful, and they all seemed really great. The rooms were really small.

We toured Sunrise of Petaluma and saw that the building was bright. The rooms were also bright and clean. They have a little refrigerator and a microwave in them. There are more selections for meals compared to the community my mom chose, and you can go down to eat. There are definitely more activities as well, especially outside the community. The support is there for someone who needs it and the building is nice. The have a day to go to the bank and a day for going shopping. Residents also have day trips to go to different places. They also do bingo, music, happy hour, and have exercise classes.

Sunrise of Petaluma was nice, but they can only handle easy people. My mom’s doctor told me to put my mom in a month ago, but he refuses to fill out the form or put it in writing. He keeps calling me to talk about. But that’s how their system works; I don’t blame for their system. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.

They were terrible to my family member., ignored important health issues. Not enough staff in the evening. Sure it looks pretty but management is heartless. No garden or healthy extracurricular upside activities. Find a place with a staff that cares. Not here.

I toured Sunrise of Petaluma. It was very favorable. They have a reputation among the Alzheimer’s Association. The staff member was excellent, talked with us in a lovely private dining room, gave us a wonderful overview of the program, and took us on a complete tour. We saw some activities that were beginning, like people gathering for live music.

I did a tour at Sunrise of Petaluma for my mom. It was a nice tour. I learned a lot about the facility. Then two weeks ago, I went back for an unscheduled visit, and it was equally as lovely, clean, and nice. The first time I went, it happened to be the same weekend where it had like a family-open house weekend, so there were lots of activities and lots of visitors coming and going. When I came back for an unannounced visit, my brother and I arrived at a lunch area, so more people were in the dining area, but they had some things set up for stuff that was going to happen after lunch.

I thought the staff was very knowledgeable at Sunrise of Petaluma. They were very helpful, and they asked a lot of very important questions, which gave me the impression that they really knew what they were talking about. They also gave me the impression that they were very caring. I thought it was very clean, and I liked the layout. It did not look very industrial. It looked very homey.

Mom was at Sunrise of Petaluma before she died. The place was wonderful. It was a very caring and good place for her. The staff was excellent and caring. They were hands on, and they gave her hugs. They knew her name from the very start. They lovingly invite her to activities. She ended up walking with her walker, and she ate a lot. She likes the food there. It smelled good in there all the time. It was really a great place. They have a memory care section where nobody could go in or out without a staff member taking the time to come and open the door. With their activities, they have tea parties, bowling, and car rides. It was really top quality.

Sunrise of Petaluma was a little bit older. The facilities looked nice. They had a dining room, but not extensive hours. The lady that showed us around was very cordial and very nice and explained different things about the facility. She was very helpful, and she has called me back.

Sunrise was just a warm atmosphere. I liked it. They assign a personal attendant to every one of the residents, and they look after that person all day and night. I'm still in my home and I'm managing very well and my health is still good. So if I have to go into a home, I will go into the same one that owns the Sunrise in Monterey, CA. My daughter is in Pacific Grove. So I would go into that one.
The staff who met with us was warm and took us around and showed us everything, and then we went to lunch. We ate with the staff member who was showing us around. She was very warm, and you could tell the people love their work. I was impressed. They're just outstanding. They were very nice, warm, and welcoming to us.
The rooms were very nice. I saw one that was furnished, and I thought I could live in that apartment myself. They had activities, and the people just seemed happier there, even though they were a little bit constrained because they do not let people in too much because of the flu epidemic. But it was just a different atmosphere. The people working there seemed to like what they were doing, and they were just more friendly. I like the building. It's more open, and it was built for a rest house. It's light and airy.

The facility took care of my Aunt and all her needs. They provided her with the foods, music, and television she liked. She was also provided companionship towards the end of her days. The staff was always extremely helpful with my Aunt's condition. My Aunt had Alzheimer's and would often forget who she was talking to in mid-sentence. The staff always treated her with patience and respect. I would recommend this facility to any family who has a loved one plagued with the awful disease of Alzheimer's.The staff would frequently play cards and other games with my Aunt. She loved to play bingo, and the staff provided her with a bingo night at least once a week.My Aunt wandered away from the facility one day and sent my family into a panic. The staff immediately called my family to notify us of her being lost. The staff also called the police and the police were able to locate her within an hour. We were very grateful that they were very attentive in finding her.

I thought it was a very good facility, good staff, everyone was friendly. The facility was also very nice as were the people. Very helpful with the medical issues that had to be done, getting the proper medication etc. I would recommend this place to anyone else that was in need for an assisted living facility. Another thing I really liked about this place and of course wouldn't be the same for everyone was that it was very close to where I lived. It was much more convenient not to have to drive to the next town over or go through a ton of traffic for a visit and it always made my grandfather extremely happy to see us. He never complained about the facility and seemed to generally enjoy it which made me extremely happy. Overall I would give this facility a 8/10, it wasn't the fanciest but it also was much cheaper than some other options out there which is a big factor as these costs can add up quickly. Of course I would have liked to have it be a 5 star hotel but unfortunately that's just not always available. Still I am pleased with everything that they had to offer.
Memory Care Reviews for Sunrise of Petaluma

We moved my mother-in-law in the Sunrise of Petaluma. I had the tour and we moved her in there and had a very bad experience with them so we moved her out again. We don't recommend this facility to anybody that we talk to. They were inexperienced, all the way from the top down. The director was not very experienced with Alzheimer's; we had difficulty with that. The floor manager was brand new. He didn't really know what was going on. The staff that they hire, lovely people, but they are not trained, so they weren't really able to deal with the issues people with Alzheimer's have, which could really be complicated. They had very nice rooms, the facility itself was very nice, that's why we ended up going there, because it's supposed to be the best one in our area. It really is a nice facility as far as cleanliness, it's bright, and open. It was very nice, but that was not really the important thing. The food is just your average food, nothing special, but it wasn't bad. They had a great list of activities, but that didn't happen. They didn't actually do them.

I saw the memory care of Sunrise of Petaluma. The staff member who took me on a tour was very helpful, very friendly, and very informative. The overall experience was great. The rooms were really nice. It was totally not what I was expecting. They were very helpful and pleasant. The place certainly looked wonderful; it looked great. It was bright and cheerful. The young lady who took me on a tour was very personable; she was great. I really like the gardens that they had. It was a nice place. It looked like a place where you can feel at ease putting your loved one there, and that they would probably be well taken care of very well.
