My parents moved into Sunrise of North Wales. Overall, it has been a positive experience. They have a very nice one-bedroom apartment. They try to keep the residents active and engaged. Right now, they are lacking in staff. There doesn't seem to be enough staffing, which is a concern. The food choices have been an issue. They try to do different things with the residents every day, like game playing, painting, crafts, and entertainment. They have a bus on the premises that can take them out once a week. Somebody comes in to do their hair once a week. They have a library.

I visited this facility
We toured both the assisted living and memory care at Sunrise of North Wales. It seemed very well organized. Everyone knew everyone, which was very nice, and I liked the fact that it was a smaller facility. We were on several floors and they showed us a lot of things, including the layout of the rooms and things like that. We talked about what would work for my two friends because we had a lot of requirements considering that they had two different sets of needs, and they were all discussed. So, it was good.
The lady who toured us knew everybody and they were all acknowledging each other with good mornings and hi's. She answered all the questions and was very clear. It was easy to follow what she was talking about when we asked some things. She also offered information on things we hadn't thought of right off the bat, and that made it a lot easier. She was very well informed.
The apartments seemed sufficient for what they were. I just thought I would have liked to have a bigger living area. The bedrooms seem to be the most spacious area with the sunlight and a view, which was a really important factor for us. I particularly liked their main dining room. I thought that was nice and I think they would appreciate and probably use that primarily. They also had some patios and some porches upstairs and downstairs, which I liked, because this couple lived out in the woods and they overlooked these beautiful gardens, and that's what they stare at every day. It was important for them to have something like that. That was a real plus.

We went to Sunrise of North Wales. It was very nice, clean, and organized. It had spacious rooms. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming. They had extensive menus and the dining area was very pleasant. They had daily activities, they had cooking classes, they went on field trips. They had a library. They had a movie room. The atmosphere was very nice, very welcoming. It was like you're walking in a hotel, not a nursing home.

It was beautiful but a little bit smaller. The only thing that my mom didn't like about it was it was more remote, but it was very clean and the staff was lovely. It was very nice and centrally located, but it's not within walking distance to some of the things my mom wanted to do. The grounds were gorgeous. I want to live there, honestly.

My friend's father lives here. She always has nice things to say about. Especially lately because they have a new chef. Her dad has started raving about the food. It was tough for her when they were getting ready to move him in because he had been in the hospital and then home and then rehab. they really were understanding and helpful through all of that. The staff there were really kind to him and made sure he made friends right away.

I saw it, but I was not crazy about it. It looked like a hotel. It was nice. I understood their philosophy, like the first floor was for people who did not need any help. The second floor was for people who needed a little more assistance, and the third floor was the dementia ward. I did not like it because you were up on the third floor without outdoor space. It was very small with a very small porch that you could barely sit on. However, it was a very beautiful place. They had a dining area on each floor.

It is fantastic. My uncle has been living there for a month or so. They have a nice property, great people working there, and terrific rooms. It’s a small senior living community. The dining area is very nice, and it’s not huge.

I went and it was a high-rise building. It had more of an apartment building kind of feel to it. I think the apartments were OK. Nothing struck me particularly. The staff seemed nice enough and very friendly. I did not like the location that much.

We went and we loved it. Very, very, very nice place, but when the money is gone, you're gone. It's beautiful in there. Nice food. I would live there. It's brand new.

The treatment was excellent. We loved everybody we met. Everything was spectacular. We liked the rooms. We liked the facility. Everything was very clean and modern. It made a very good first impression. There was a very nice movie theater there. There was an outdoor seating area for all the guests and there was a monthly Sunday brunch that is offered, which is a very nice option.

It is very nice place, and the staff is very warm. It’s kind of like living in a nice community hotel. The rooms and apartments are very nice and modern, and it’s a new facility. The dining room looks like a hotel. Father is in memory care, and he loves to walk. Environment is very nice and wonderful community. I would recommend it. Kylie -- who is the person that I dealt with -- is always available to you no matter what.
