I live in the area and finally went in to look for my father. There was live music in playing in the min lobby. The building was warm and cozy.

The staff was so helpful when I walked in to get information. The facility smells like cookies. Very clean and everyone smiles. The seniors looked happy.

Look somewhere else

First of all, this is being written 4 months after my MIL's death. I have had time to process. This review is based on facts, not my opinion.

We couldn't convince her to move. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend Sunrise to my worst enemy. My mother-in-law lived there 8 1/2 years. What we saw occurred over years, not a short period of t…
