Sunrise of Crestwood

I went to Sunrise of Crestwood. The person who escorted us around the facility was very kind and very knowledgeable. She gave enough information to get an idea of really what was going on before we physically took the tour, and she showed us several units that we would be willing to consider if we do decide to use that facility. I was impressed. The place was satisfactory. It was clean. The people were very kind and the residents were very helpful. They came up and they said how much they enjoyed the facility. All in all, it was a good tour. We saw a studio and a larger studio. The amenities were satisfactory. I wasn't too impressed with the way that it's set up. It doesn't seem to me that there are enough scheduled activities. They have a couple that seemed to be scheduled, but I didn't get the impression that there was much organization. They had the laundry services and the cleaning services. They talked about the bistro. The staff gave us meals to take home with us and it was satisfactory. They were small portions. It wasn't necessarily something to write home about, but it was tasty. The staff gave us a little history of how assisted living started, which was very interesting. She said that Sunrise was one of the first to initiate this type of living situation, which I thought was interesting and gives them more credibility.

Sunrise of Crestwood had a porch, and it was like a Victorian home. The staff who assisted me was very knowledgeable. He gave a very good tour. He answered all my questions. The rooms looked clean, well-appointed, and nicely furnished. My mother is coming from a 1400 square foot apartment and the rooms were 300 square feet, but that's the style of them. They're all new and they looked nice. Each had a handicapped bathroom with a walk-in shower, a kitchen area, and even a lock in the kitchen cabinet for medications or things like for the patients that need to get their possessions locked on one of the cabinets. Because of COVID, they gave me food to take for me and my mother. I found it to be a little spicy, but it was okay. I would say it was average. The dining area was more like a cafeteria-style; it wasn't very fancy. It was very plain, simple, and clean. Nobody was in it. One of the things I noticed, there were very few people out. It's very quiet. They had a very nice cafe area, and I saw three people there with their aides. I didn't see any activities going on. I'm a special ed teacher, so I thought I'd see activities going on. It seemed very quiet, and it didn't seem vibrant. It may have been due to COVID that everyone is in their room. Upkeep and maintenance were excellent. Everything was clean. Outside was well-maintained. I saw a bistro, I saw the cafeteria, which was like a school cafeteria type of set up, and a little art room, and when you first came in, I saw what looked like a library with a piano.

I did a tour of Sunrise of Crestwood. It was a very uplifting experience. It just relieved myself and my family from having to try to find some place for our disabled brother. It was a very good experience. It was excellent. I had a lady by the name of Yolanda and another lady by the name of Tony. They spent as much time as I wanted with them. They were extremely helpful. They had a very good selection of rooms, and I was extremely pleased with one of them. It would more than accommodate my disabled brother. They spent so much time with me; there was no rush to anything. I didn't feel like I had to get in and out of there in a hurry. They were extremely accommodating. They walked me through everything. They walked me through all the rooms, and they introduced me to some of the residents that were there. It was a very positive experience. It was very spacious. Our mother who was in an assisted living place had a very beautiful place, and this was just as comparable. It was very nice.

The gentleman that gave us the tour to Sunrise of Crestwood was very helpful and knowledgeable. The people seemed friendly too, but they didn't have any units available in the memory care, so we only got to see the assisted living. They gave us food to take because we had another appointment, and it wasn't bad. They had a garden, activities, and their dining area was more like a restaurant type. The place was very nice and there was an elegance to it, but it was homey.

Sunrise of Crestwood was very nice and very comfortable. It looked like it would fit our needs. The staff was very nice, very sincere, and very obliging. The room was OK. I looked at the menu and it looked OK. I saw some of the amenities, but there wasn't too much going on.

My mother was in the Sunrise of Crestwood and I went there before the COVID. They were responsive. My mother had an issue though with the bluntness of the aide. My mother tends to be sensitive, and it might have been a cultural difference to those who were working there. Other than that she really wasn't a fan of the food, and the expense of distributing medicine each day. The positives were that she had 24/7 care, it was a relatively new and well maintained facility, and they were responsive to communication. They had group activities, they published a schedule every day, and in the common area they had activities that ranged from painting to the jeopardy type thing, to movie watching, and they had religious services there.

Sunrise is lovely, more traditional, and posh. They had a library, TV rooms, and little nooks and crannies where people could read a book if they want. They had meeting rooms, little area where people could congregate without being in a huge space.
