Assisted Living Reviews for Sunrise Senior Living of Issaquah

September 23, 2021

Sunrise of Issaquah is brand new and very bright on the inside and modern looking. They have a big dining area, a salon, and a media room. It was nice. It was just strange because any time I've been there, I've never seen anyone in the common area. There's one side of the building that faces the road, while the other side faces the woods. So, you have a pastoral wood view where there are no buildings or anything at all. The staff I talked to seemed knowledgeable. They have a lot of things to show people. There's a beautiful and real pretty deck that you can sit on and they have a room where they have crafts and things like that. It seems like they try to keep people busy. So, if somebody is looking for something modern and a brand new place, you may want to send them there to take a look.

Sunrise of Issaquah is a beautiful community. It's like an age-in-place type of facility where you're paying for services that you may or may not need. So you get up and you have to push a button, and that lets them know that you got up in the morning, and you have a lifeline. It's a very nice facility, you're more on a schedule where you have to have lunch at noon, dinner's at 5:00, there's a set menu, they have monthly wellness checks; all good things. It's a pretty nice facility depending on what your expectation is. The staff we met there was very nice. The building was really nice but the room, she didn't care for.
