THE JEFFERSON

Not quite what Sunrise advertises

three of the care aides aren't too friendly or helpful., care services - (room for improvement), (the hot box overcook the food), (activities appropriate for the majority of residents) 8=3 (I still have to pay for private aides 7 days a week, plus the caregiving my sister-in-law and myself do.)

I visited this facility

My wife and I liked The Jefferson. We liked the community and the indoor pool. It was all in the same building, which was very attractive to us. We took a tour of the apartment.

Overall good service

The Jefferson is in a convenient location. The public areas are nicely decorated. They have celebrations for holidays. I think they could increase staffing levels for the care aides, and strive for a consistent level of care, especially with transferring from wheelchair to bed.
