We chose Sunrise of Mount Vernon because it's close to where my brother was living and because they can care for him. They're just very friendly and very attentive, and they're full-service. They're what we needed for him. The staff are communicative, attentive, and caring. My brother seems happy with the food. They have a variety of activities. They have a lot of amenities in their facility. They have a salon and a pretty cool soaking walk-in tub.

I toured Sunrise at Mount Vernon. Their staff was fantastic. Everybody whom I interacted with was wonderful. It's a lot smaller community. It's surrounded by townhome communities. It offers a lovely environment, and I saw a very active movement there, but it's not for my parents. I would not recommend it to them. I could see the benefits of it but just not for my family. The tour was fantastic. They showed me the entire property, gave me pointers about their outside areas, and showed me the safety and security factors. They're undergoing renovation. They have a salon, a courtyard, and a parlor that extends to the outside, so if it's nice out, you could go out there. They were in the middle of transitioning their library into a learning center. You could do classes there and have a library there. They have a garden club and little plots so that people can play in them just like that. That's a key thing for me because my dad's a green thumb.

My father spent two and a half weeks at Sunrise at Mount Vernon. His room was small, but adequate with a shared bathroom. So, it's not a private one. I liked the activities director. They played games, danced, and sang. However, he has advanced Parkinson's as well as Parkinson's dementia, which was why he was in the memory care unit. They said they could provide the level of care that he needed, but they could not provide him with the physiological safety that he needed. My father experienced eight injuries in two and a half weeks. The last of which took him to the emergency room. The lack of responsiveness by the leadership to our expressed concern was very unsettling. He was taken by ambulance to the emergency room in the middle of the night and the next day nobody spoke to us about it.

Sunrise at Mount Vernon was not nearly as good as the other facility. It was a little dingy. It was clean, but you could tell that it had been in service for a while. Some of the outdoor spaces were not as well kept. It was definitely a small facility and not a lot of space. It seemed like it was really just rooms and a couple of slightly larger rooms. There wasn't anything really that stood out about it. The rooms were all fairly cookie-cutter. It was kind of rundown. The head maintenance guy was the one that gave the tour. The sales rep was apparently on a call and didn't feel like calling anybody else in to actually give the tour that we had scheduled. The maintenance guy was able to show us around and show us where things were and what they did. It was not a good look for them. We looked over the menu briefly. It's fairly standard and didn't seem like anything special. They had additional charges for bringing it up to the rooms and stuff like that. They had a calendar of activities that didn't seem very impressive. It was kind of standard things, and a lot of it seemed kind of makeshift. We didn't observe anybody conducting activities. I would suggest that their sales staff or their customer service representative should actually show up for scheduled tours. They had us sitting around for about 20 minutes.

My brother-in-law was in Sunrise at Mount Vernon for about 2 weeks. He was in memory care. His room was very cozy, warm, and friendly. I felt the same way about the staff. They're very accommodating and very accessible. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law needs more than what is there because his medical situation has changed. His room was standard, clean, and recently painted. It fit the bill for what he needed. He wasn't there long enough but where he was, at the memory care, they would try to engage the residents that they had. There was an outside area and a common area for them too. That's where they would sit with him quite a bit because if left to his own devices, he would just sit in his room. He enjoyed their food too. We have no qualms with anything about them.

My mother moved into Sunrise at Mount Vernon, and it is great. I've thoroughly enjoyed the staff. They're great people and very caring. I have great relationships with the staff. They've gone through a couple of executive directors. I don't know the current executive director as well as I knew the old one, but they seem to be constantly moving forward, so I've appreciated everything they've done. The food is pretty good. I'm a food person (a foodie), and I'm a trained chef, so I always look at it like I understand what things cost. I think they could be maybe a little bit more creative in their menu planning, but I don't know everything that goes on behind the scenes with their cost. I think their cleanliness is top notch; it's very good. The common areas are amenable, accessible, and well patrolled, and there are plenty of staff available. I have on occasion been there late at night, and I think there's a dramatic drop off in the number of staff versus residents after eight o'clock at night. I would prefer that ratio to have been a little bit better. There have been situations where I've gotten a call from somebody at eleven o'clock at night, and I can't communicate with them because I can't hear them or understand them. It's not always the best at night, but I think it's the best possible scenario overall, because during the day the staff there is phenomenal. I definitely think they could improve on their overnight staff, though. How many staff are available to care for people after the hours of nine or ten o'clock at night? I also think that they can improve upon the quality of individuals, and accessibility to the phone. After nine or ten o'clock at night it's very hard to reach anybody to get any answers.
