"My mom was a resident of Sunrise of Annapolis. Overall, it's a pretty good facility. The food wasn't particularly exciting, but it probably is not in most places. It is for people needing assistance, not for independent living. The people, the staff, by and large, are very nice and accommodating. The director was very good, and the front desk was also. They were very helpful to me there. The one difficult thing was that in the last few months, my mother needed more care. She needed the care to get to the bathroom and back, and they didn't have the staff or the ability to take care of that. She had to wait a long time for somebody to come in. If she was in the bathroom, they would forget about her. I came in one night, and she had been sitting on the toilet for an hour, her legs had gone to sleep. She was in pain and couldn't move and I immediately got help for her. They just wanted to put her in diapers, and my mother refused. They hid her walker, and then she started going to find her walker and use it. So, they told me I'd have to hire a private nurse if I needed that kind of care. She didn't want to be in diapers, so I had to hire a full-time private nurse, which wouldn't work. The last few weeks of my mother's life, that didn't work well. But all in all, I think they're a good facility with good staff. They try very hard to accommodate the people there. It was probably that in my mother's last month, her health deteriorated to where she needed more care than they could provide. When people are right at the end of their life, most people would have given up and stayed in bed and been in diapers. But my mother was a strong woman mentally and physically, and she didn't want to do that."
