Assisted Living

Make the Most of Each Day

You can live life to the fullest in a vibrant community as you receive personalized support and services from our attentive and highly trained team members.

What Would You Like to Do?

In a Sunrise assisted living neighborhood, you can expect days tailored to your passions and preferences. Because we handle your household chores and provide support if and when you need it, you’re free to spend your time as you wish. From activities like fitness and art classes to afternoon socials and tea or lunch with friends, you have a world of options within your reach. If there’s something you like that we don’t already offer, we’ll happily add it!

Helpful Services Tailored to Your Needs

Our compassionate team members take the time to get to know your abilities and needs so you can live as independently as possible. We will work with you to create an Individualized Service Plan (ISP) to guide your personalized services. Your ISP will also capture your unique preferences so we can make sure your desires are met, from delivering your morning newspaper to bringing you a glass of wine after dinner. And should you need support with dressing, bathing, grooming, or medication management, your care team is always on hand to help—as little or as much as you need.

Suite Choices

You can choose from a wide range of floor plans to suit your life, including companion living with a partner or good friend. Make your new home truly yours with your favorite furniture and décor.

Reliable Support

Your care is our priority. We have trained team members available 24 hours a day to help ensure your needs are met. You’ll also benefit from monthly wellness visits by a licensed, on-staff nurse.

Household Chores

We’re happy to offer a maintenance-free lifestyle. When things like laundry, housekeeping, and trash removal are done for you, it’s easy to make the most of each day.

Memory Care

Making Days Meaningful

Your loved one living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia or memory loss can find good friends and a uniquely warm and engaging home in a Sunrise memory care community.

Compassionate Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

From the moment you walk into our memory care neighborhoods, you know that you’ve arrived somewhere special—a place where caregivers are more like family. We have two levels of memory care available: Terrace Club and Reminiscence. Our Terrace Club Neighborhoods are ideal for those experiencing early to moderate memory loss, while our Reminiscence Neighborhoods are tailored to those living with more advanced Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.

Expertise You Can Count On

Rooted in the latest research, our personalized memory care services leverage proven techniques to help keep residents engaged and happy. As an Authorized Validation Organization, we practice the Validation method, which uses empathy and communication to help reduce stress and increase happiness.

Our Orientation Training is recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations. In addition, many of our team members are certified in the Alzheimer’s Association’s essentiALZ® training program, further showcasing their knowledge of person-centered care practices.

Thoughtful Programming

Through our Sunrise Live With Purpose™ programming, residents engage in activities that bring them purpose and joy. From music to gardening to art, our signature programs encourage residents to find meaning in each day.

Intimate Settings

Memory care residents benefit from 1:1 and small-group programming that speaks to their unique interests and passions. They especially enjoy connecting with each other in a close-knit environment.

Dedicated Team Members

Using their deep knowledge of each resident, our life enrichment managers make sure each resident engages with activities that speak to their past experiences, who they are today, and what makes them special.

Short-Term Stays at Sunrise

Take advantage of all that our communities have to offer while you recover following a hospitalization, when your regular caregiver is away, or if you want to sample life at Sunrise.

Enjoy the Sunrise Experience

Whether you need a place to stay while your caregiver is unavailable or you need help recuperating after a hospital visit, Sunrise has you covered. In addition to receiving personalized care, you will get to enjoy all the benefits of a Sunrise community—from fresh, homemade meals to helpful services to a variety of programs and events. You can also take part in fun social events and meet up with other residents, friends, and family in our beautiful common spaces.

The Road Home Program

We offer the Road Home program, a 30-day program specifically designed for guests coming to Sunrise directly from a hospital or rehabilitation center. The Road Home program provides assistance both during an illness or after a hospital visit. From medication management to around-the-clock care, you will experience all of the additional services that aid in a full, speedy recovery.

Short-Term Stay Options

Trial Period: A trial period can help you explore if Sunrise is right for you. In fact, many of our residents first discover our communities through a short-term stay.

Respite Stays: If your regular caregivers need some time off, Sunrise can be your home away from home. You’ll both have peace of mind knowing you have our support.

Rehabilitation Care: We’ll make sure you have everything you need to recover, including help with dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication management.

Hospice Care Coordination

Our philosophy of quality care and our commitment to individualized treatment extends to all residents, including those who may need end-of-life care.

Compassionate and Dignified Care

We can help coordinate hospice care services as needed with professionals who specialize in supporting the unique emotional and physical needs of seniors with the utmost dignity and compassion. As coordination of hospice care guidelines differ by region, Sunrise communities partner with qualified medical staff and volunteers that meet local hospice care requirements, while also following Sunrise standards for personalized care.

Providing Continuous Support

Sunrise and our community hospice care partners welcome communication and participation from family members. We work together to assist residents and family members through this process, while providing a multidisciplinary approach to caring for residents and relieving their suffering. We also offer ongoing emotional support and practical guidance for navigating this emotional phase of life with a loved one.
