Sunrise of Sacramento

Sunrise of Sacramento is the place I'd like Mom to be if she would go to assisted living (but she will not). It's like a five-star hotel type of atmosphere. Everything was very clean and just really nice. They take care of everything. The girl who showed me around was actually filing in for the regular person. She still was very knowledgeable of how things are run. In addition, the people seemed very friendly and caring. The people I saw looked like they're very well taken cared of; it seemed like a happy situation. The rooms were really nice; I really like them. The one that I liked was called a shared room. It has two separate bedrooms, a common sitting area in front and a shared bathroom off to the side. We looked at the dining area; it's like a high class restaurant. It was really nice to have a full menu and things to choose from, so I wouldn't hesitate to have dinner there. The food looked really well prepared, too. They had all services there. They own and operate a bus for everybody. It's for transporting people around to places like shopping. It was a great place. I can't think of anything that was lacking there.

Sunrise of Sacramento was the most expensive place we visited; however, we like it very much. I would have loved for my parents to stay there but it would cost too much money. The only staff I talked to was their marketing people and they were very friendly. Their rooms were fairly new and clean but they're a little small. Of course, for older folks, they don't necessarily need a big space, but particularly for the price that you were paying, I would have thought that you would get more space in there. Overall, it looked like it was a good setting and a good place to go to. I didn't see anything wrong with the place at all.

When I think back to when I had visited the facility, one of the first thing that had stood out to me was how friendly everyone that we encountered was. Many of the people there were more than willing to stop and greet us, as well as answer any questions or concerns that we had. We were automatically treated as guests and none of the staff ever tried to shy away from us. The dining room was rather a decent size, and it was very nicely decorated. Even though this place was an assisted living facility, it never once had that "feel" to it. There were many activities that the residents were able to partake in, as well as other independent activities for those who were not up to joining the others. Throughout the whole visit, you could really tell that the residents who decided to call this place "home" were really happy to be there.

When I had to start working longer hours at work I realized that my schedule had become to demanding I wasn't at home to take care of my family most of the time I was to tired. And when my son got a job it meant that my mother would be stuck at home all by herself for the majority of the day.I have no doubt that my mother is capable of taking care of herself but the thought of an accident terrified me so I began to search for an assisted living home. I found Sunrise Senior Living very quickly and was able to set up the arrangements within the week everything checked out and now my mother is living there. At first she was reluctant about the situation but its been a few months and I think she is really warming up well. The caregivers take care of her very well and tend to all her needs like bathing food and medicine, My son, family,or I can visit her whenever we choose and she is in good health. The service is not expensive and The staff is very kind and show respect to all the residents. The facility has all the basic amenities separate rooms, game room, and kitchen etc. I was sad that I had to send my own mother away but now that I see her health rising and her connecting with other people like herself I don't have any regret I know I made the right decision.

I really liked the layout and atmosphere of Sunrise Senior Living. My grandmother is looking to move to one of these places and she likes the fact they have lots of activities and you can still be independent. They are also inexpensive compared to many of the other facilities in sacramento. They offer exercise facilites, private dining, 24 hour medical care, game rooms and much more. I was so pleased to see that there is many things to offer the residents and it is very close to my home so I could visit my grandmother frequently. Independent senior living is important.
