I use to be a nurse at this facility several years ago, the facility was very run down with inappropriate patients for the skill level. I had a chance to visit with a small Assisted living Coalition and was amazed at the new and beautiful decor and renovation that was done. The residents are appropriate for Assisted Living and are happy and very satisfied. The management is friendly and the DON Denise is Awesome! This was a very different experience the I previously had. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a safe, kind, environment to put their loved one, go check it out. You will be impressed.

The community has made some changes and all for the better. The new management is wonderful, and know every resident and staff by name. There is a warm sense of a family atmosphere from everyone in the building. You can tell they all have a heart for what they do and truly do care about their residents. Highly highly recommend this community!

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
I am the cousin and Medical Power of Attorney of a current resident. My cousin was very happy at Sunrise, under the old management, but we are both unhappy now. Under old management, my cousin was treated with respect and I was able to communicate with staff members when there was a concern. Because of that communication, any problems got solved. Over the course of the year my cousin was there, I probably talked to the director 3 times, but those times were important. Since the new management, I have left my phone number several times over the course of over a month but never gotten a call back. Instead, I've only been able to talk to the receptionist and the Med Tech, both of whom are new employees and with whom I have no relationship already established and who insist that there are no problems, implication being that I should just not believe, I should just ignore my cousin. In the past, I could have a real conversation to find out if my cousin's perception of a problem was correct (if not, I could go back and explain to her) and if so, what could be done to fix it. Instead, I feel as if she and I are being discounted.
Elderly people and people like my cousin often don't handle change well. The new management could have been much more sensitive and handled the change much better. They seem to have ignored the importance of developing trust and relationships with residents and their families.
Respect and caring start at the top. While the director is the same as before, the new management needs to let her do her job. She apparently knows it much better than they do.

It was a nice, little place with nice, little meals. I could see that the staff was very caring and that the clientele was well taken care of. The staff knew just about everybody that walked by them by name. They had a TV in the common area.

This community was very nice, but it's not a secure facility. I'd recommend it for senior living or just regular assisted living where there is not security involved as far as the patients are concerned. The facility was very nice, and I liked it. The rooms were very nice and adequate, the place was very clean, it had a very nice community room with televisions and a nice aquarium, dining was no problem at all, and their price was right in the same range as the rest of them. The patients could come and go as they pleased, and the staff was very helpful and got a lot of advice from them with financing. Everything was spacious as far as the dining and community rooms, and the people I saw there seemed to be happy.

We currently have a family member who currently lives here and they are happy with the facility. When we first her in the place was a bit outdated by we overlooked that due to the favorable cost. Fortunately they have provided great service to our family member without any problems. We are happy with the services and hope to have her here until she finishes rehab.

I have a family member who is rather difficult due to some mental issues. He has been in many assisted living communities over the last 5 years. This is the first place that took the necessary time to meet his needs and make him feel like he was at home. The administrator Sherry is also a nurse. She checks in with me on a regular basis. Nice friendly staff, clean nice building.
Provider Response
We are glad you enjoyed your visit. At Sunrise Senior Village, we think of our residents as family and we always try and go the extra mile to ensure their stay with us is an enjoyable one.

My sister is in a private room here. The director said it is clean, the food is good, and it is affordable. And, the affordable part of that made it extremely attractive. They have a social area where they have a big television set. She doesn't complain about the food being bad. My sister is very difficult; she cannot communicate in a normal sense. There is some staff that she really, really likes, and there are a few she sometimes says she has issues with. She is incontinent, and when her husband was taking care of her she would get urinary tract infections all the time. After I took over, I started using wet wipes every time she pees, but I don't want her to take it upon herself to wipe after peeing; I want somebody else doing it, and they are following that instruction. And then, they used the wet wipes, and in this whole year, knock on wood, she has not had one urinary tract infection. They really are taking care of her, and that is extremely important because that would be the first place that it would show up if she wasn't being cleaned properly. Her room gives you a feeling more of a nursing home type, but the flooring is tiled and it is light, it is very bright, and it is washed every day.

I have visited this place often and I never fail to see dirty patients. It seems no one checks to see if the patients are bathed or change their clothes every day.
