A great choice!

My brother and sister in laws are the ones who visit regularly and everything I have heard is that there are 5 ratings for each of these categories. The food is tasty and the staff are helpful and friendly. [name removed] has enjoyed the art class and ability to attend church services. The apartment size is average, yet comfortable.

Sunrise of West Essex

Our experience was limited as my mother in law passed away before we were able to move in, but the staff were all professional, helpful and very understanding.

Solid choice

Overall Sunrise West Essex is a solid place and a good notch above most places in the area for the money. They could use fresher ingredients on the food... maybe incorporate farm to table from local farmer's markets.

Senior living with kindness and care

Sunrise of West Essex is one of the best senior living facilities out there! My dad's time spent there was exceptional! He was a high level of care and always got the care that he needed from the staff at Sunrise of West Essex. My mom will need to go into memory care in the near future and after looking at several other facilities, she too will be at Sunrise of West Essex. Their price point is high, but so is their care level, and they have an exceptional staff.

Very impressed

I really like this place The facility is beautiful and the care is excellent They do hire a young woman to come in for activities and she is excellent but only 2days a week The healthcare workers do activities with them but I wish there were more but this seems to be the case for all of these facilities This place is very pricey We now pay around $[removed] a month but the care is excellent and we have no other choice [community removed], which I thought was a poorly run facility, could not handle my mother's…
