Sunrise of Bloomingdale

My mom is now in Sunrise of Bloomingdale. It is small. One of the things that we like about it is that there's a dining area that the residents would have to go to to get their meals. That's important to us that they encourage the residents to eat meals together. The staff is amazing. I am pleasantly surprised at how they get to know each of the residents and their family members. You can walk in there and they know who you are, and they know who you're going to go see, so that's nice. However, I wish they have a little bit more food choices. They usually have about three or four choices for each meal. They have a walking club, and they have movie nights. It's a little bit harder to get my mom to do the activities. It seems like they have quite a few activities, it is just things that she's not interested in, and so she would rather stay in her room.

I went to Sunrise of Bloomingdale, and I was very, very impressed with that facility. The problem is that I was told pretty upfront when I went there that it's only private pay. My friend can qualify for Medicaid, but they don't take anybody on Medicaid there. I was very, very impressed with the facility. It looked beautiful. The lady I met with was wonderful. She took me all around and showed me the room. She showed me what kind of a room he would have lived in if he had come in. The way that they make charges there, there's a flat charge and anything additional that would be needed by somebody is like an ala carte thing, and that was the bad part of it. When I added all those things up that he needed help with, he would have had no money left whatsoever for his medication, which he has to have. He would have to go on Medicaid to get that medication. What they showed me was the common area on the ground floor, and then I saw one unoccupied room that would have been in the assisted living section. The facility is beautiful, and it's relatively new. The common area is decorated very nicely. The employees there seem very caring and outgoing. I was very impressed with the place. Unfortunately, he can't afford it, so that's a problem. The woman who showed me around was very well-spoken, very interested, and caring, and asked a lot of personalized questions about my friend to find out what would be needed. I was impressed with her; I liked her. She was a nice lady. I would give her a 5-plus. She was trying so hard to find a way to help. The place was immaculate. The day that I went, it was raining, so I didn't go outside, but when you drive in from the street, you can see there is some kind of outdoor area for people in the back, and there's also an outdoor area in the front like a huge patio. It's a very nice facility.

I would give Sunrise of Bloomingdale a 5 for everything. The director was very informative, very nice, and very helpful. They had a library, activities, and field trips for the people. Sunrise might have been a little less expensive than the others, though not that much. Even though they had memory care, they were private pay. My mother and our family cannot afford private pay.

It’s December… We’ve been dealing with Covid since March and my mother got Covid there on 12/20/2020 been there less than a month… How does that happen..??? Months later ... ??? Have they not learned how to control this…My mother has neuropathy in her hands and nobody thought it is important when they They enter her room to mask her ?? .. She cannot hardly eat her food or hold anything in her hands let alone put a mask on for her self .. I thought that that would be what we were paying the money for so somebody would care for her when she needed it well I am finding that that is not true here ..she doesn’t even get a good morning ..just some dirty looks from women who have to help her or men ..awell not across-.. the-board there’s a Diana she speaks highly of I hope somebody gives her a raise...

The staff members from Sunrise of Bloomingdale are very attentive and caring. They have made my in-laws feel very at home, very loved, and secured. They take care of everything that my in-laws need.

We really liked Sunrise and everybody there, but they only had a studio on the second floor, and it was kind of depressing looking in there. I looked because it's closer to my house. Everybody was great, warm, nice, and caring. If they had the right room, I would have gone to Sunrise because of the price and it's pretty close, but we had to move quick.

I loved Sunrise of Bloomingdale. It was my first choice. The rooms were clean and tidy and looked new and homey. We were there for snack time, and the food was fine. The staff was very friendly, sympathetic, and knowledgeable. They knew their industry very well. The price was good and comparable. The location was very convenient.

My dad is at Sunrise Senior Living in Bloomingdale. It’s nice, sunny, bright, and has big windows and a lot of room. It has a lot of activities, too. It has a nice location and outdoor space which is nice, green and pretty. The people are very friendly. They have a nursing station and doctors who visit once a week. We don’t have to take my dad anywhere because the doctor comes to you. It’s pretty good. They do a very good job.

My mother has been living in Sunrise of Bloomingdale for two weeks. The experience has been going very well. She is in a clean, one-bedroom apartment. It is not as big as where she was before, but it is fine. The staff is very caring.

My father is in Sunrise of Bloomingdale, and I'm very pleased with them. The staff is outstanding and very caring. There is a nurse on-staff 24/7. They are very friendly. The food is very good. We've been totally thrilled. Even my father knows it's the right place for him. He was very willing to go, and he knew he needed the help. We chose it because it's literally across the street from where he lived before, so he is familiar with the area, and it's close to the family. It is very home like. I would highly recommend them. He's got a studio apartment, and it's perfect for him. He doesn't need a lot of space, and the bathroom is nice sized. He is in a wheelchair, and it's easy for him to get in. There is a kitchenette, but he doesn't use it because he just eats the food there; he loves the food, and they feed him a lot. They clean everyday, and they do the laundry for him. They have a craft area, activity area, and Wii bowling, and at 3:00 there's a social in their little bistro area with some refreshment and wine and cheese. They do have trips outside like shopping and to restaurants. They could use more parking because they get a lot of visitors. It was a little more intimate, which is perfect for him.

Sunrise of Bloomingdale was very nice except that it would not fit his needs because you had to have a certain amount of income, then he would have to leave after he ran out of money. That would not have worked for him, but the facility was beautiful, and the people were wonderful and pleasant. We were very impressed with the place.

He'll move in next week, so I don't have a lot of information yet, but we felt comfortable with our decision. Of course, we picked the Sunrise of Bloomingdale because we are happy with the facility and the people there. We just want to get him moved in, and then we will see what kind of activities they offer and what he is able to take part in. First of all, I liked the room and the location -- five blocks from my house -- and I thought the staff was wonderful.

I was looking a place for my aunt close to west suburbs. When I toured Sunrise of Bloomingdale, it was like coming to a mansion of one big family. I was amazed with their hospitality and warmth. The aromas of their food was so tempting. The staff was dressed professionally but still had the feel of family during conversation. So finally moved my aunt and I am very content with all their services.

I went to see Sunrise. It was nice. My mother thought she liked that one, and then she changed her mind overnight. The people were very cordial there, but my mother just changed her mind. The staff was very nice. They were cordial and straightforward. It was a nice place. It wasn't as big as the other place, but it was nice. The only thing was, it was a little bit more money. The dining room was nice. Again, it wasn't as nice as the other facility. We had a luncheon, and the food was good.

Sunrise of Bloomingdale was very clean and the staff were very polite. When we went there it was night, so they did not have anything going and I did not see anything, but they had a calendar showing the activities they did have. The lady told us that there was someone who was in charge of those activities. Their dining room was the typical dining room -- nothing fancy, just very plain.

Sunrise is such a great place! Unfortunately, they didn't have availability. When we visited they only have one large shared room available. It has a bathroom and a kitchenette. It can help residents save money which is good but it wasn't what we were looking for. I find their cleanliness and staff outstanding.

This place is very nice! I have visited many times in the post year. My best friends mother lives here, and I will stop in to bring her snacks and visit. I can honestly say it is very clean and also a very fun place for seniors. The people who live here are very kind and welcoming to new comers. The chef is also very good, and he prepares yummy snacks in between meals too. If I still had my mother, I would feel very comfortable with her living here.

My grandfather has lived in this facility for about 6 years. He received very good care in the beginning but the last few years his level of care has gone down significantly. If it was possible to move him, it would have been done. However since he has Dementia, it is best to keep them where they are familiar. Some of the nurses are very caring and good bedside mannors. However, the woman running the place there is very unprofessional and untruthful. I have asked about things that have happened and I can never get a straight answer out of her. I have asked for things to be done and they are never done and there are always excuses as to why it didn't get done and the finger is pointed to me. If they could improve the management at this place, my rating of it would increase significantly.

My grandmother is a resident at Sunrise Assisted Living in Bloomingdale, IL. We enjoy having her in a facility that is close to us where we can visit on a weekly basis. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, and my grandmother has become more socially integrated than she ever was while living on her own - she has made many friends at the facility. The cost of the facility seemed very high initially when we were seeking out her new home, but we have come to accept that we are paying for a good quality of life for her to spend her remaining time with us. The only complaint she has is that she would like more communication when community events are being hosted - such as a bulletin board in the meeting rooms perhaps. Overall, we are very happy with our choice in homes for my grandmother, as is she.

My mother has lived at the Sunrise in Bloomingdale for 6 years. She is now 86 years old, and we could not be more pleased with the care she receives from the wonderful staff. It was a difficult family choice for her to move out of her home, but we realized quickly it was the best choice for her. My mother is healthy, active and has many friends there. I am eternally grateful to find this community. I highly recommend them!

The facility is very clean. One thing I like was the personal ID on each room. I did not care for the Victoria style floral design or price. One thing I did notice there was not activity board.
