Sunnybrook Assisted Living

My mom will be moving into Sunnybrook Assisted Living this month. What I like about them is that they're a smaller place and they're a family-owned business. Once you pay for the room, you don't pay for additional assistance. They give you whatever assistance you need. In the room rate, everything was pretty much all-inclusive. They also help provide referrals to caregivers, which is very helpful. They have a few different-sized rooms. The one that we looked at was what they call their medium size and it had a large walk-in closet. It was big enough for a seating area as well as a sleeping area. They would provide the furnishings. And so, that was very helpful because they provided a hospital bed and there's no additional charge for that. The room was very nice. It was very clean. It was very well organized. I didn't see anything that I had any kind of issue with. She apologized because she said they didn't get a chance to clean it yet, but I didn't see anything wrong with it. So even without it being deep cleaned, it still was very, very clean. The staff was extremely helpful and extremely nice. She answered all my questions. She was very friendly. She let me take some pictures of the room so I could share that with my siblings and let them see what the room would look like. My mom is diabetic and they said they would have no problem providing her with a diabetic-friendly meal.

Sunnybrook Assisted Living was well laid out. It was like a big house. It only had like 49 residents. It had a nice front porch. The only thing was that it was not a locked community. The front door was wide open, so anybody could go in and out. That's good in one way, but not in another. It didn't seem secure. They tried to make it feel like a family house. Some of the rooms were very small. They had one apartment upstairs that would accommodate a couple, and it had a kitchenette. It was almost like a little apartment. They don't have memory care, but they had several residents with memory care issues. They put them in a big room. It was good, but I didn't get the 100% feeling that I did with the other places I toured.

Sunnybrook wasn't the place for my relative. He does have a wife who has dementia, and it would probably work for her, but there didn't seem to be a lot of stimulation for a person that's still memory vibrant. They were very nice. I liked the director. A couple owns it, and we liked the man who showed us around. He seemed very caring. He knew most of the people by their names and seemed familiar with everybody in there. It was clean, and the surroundings were nice.
