Sunrise at Countryside

Changed to a ONE. The place has lost its charm. Only one thing to say (so as to protect myself from these terrible people - referring to sr management not at the facility) STAY AWAY! SOMEDAY, I’ll post the issues and truth. My mother has been at Sunrise Countryside for about 3 months now. It took her a few days to assimilate, but with the help of the thoughtful and kind staff she quickly got into the swing of things. My brothers and I are very excited to see how happy she is now. Her sparkling smile is back as well as her love for crocheting and bridge. Sunrise has sparked new life into her. She spends time with other residents rather than watching YouTube. She is reading everyday one of the many books that are available to her. She is eating regular and healthy meals now and is walking better than ever. This place is the perfect fit for her as everybody knows everybody's name :) We and she are planning for a long stay. If you want a clean place with nice and helpful staff, you should check this place out.

The staff (Ann, Gilbert, Kara, Karla, Katina, Sara, and Yosief) have all been caring, friendly, and great to work with. My mother really likes the facility and the staff. The food is very good and a variety of activities are offered each week in which the residents may participate.

My Father moved into the Independent Living when his advancing Parkinson’s required a little more assistance (like medicine management) and we felt more comfortable with him having people around to support him and socialize. While he wasn’t excited about the move - he quickly made friends with both staff and residents. That was more than 10 years ago - and it was the perfect choice to support him as his needs advanced. During the pandemic he transitioned to Assisted Living and as he declined - i was always confident that he had good care and attention. Even when he couldn’t really participate in activities, the team made sure he was included and engaged. And when my father had issues that led him to the hospital or a rehab center - the Nurse and Care Manager stayed engaged, visited and were very helpful in discussing options for his return and when the time came ensuring he could spend his last days on hospice in his Sunrise home.

My mom lived here for 2 years - first in independent living and then in assisted living. Mom moved into independent living prior to Covid. During Covid, the staff took such good care of the residents in independent living that none of them contracted Covid from anyone at Sunrise. My mom moved to assisted living the last 3 months of her life and she expressed many times that she felt very well taken care of and loved by the Sunrise staff. My mother was a difficult resident in assisted living, but the staff were so patient and kind to her. I was humbled at how many of them went beyond the call of duty to care and comfort my mom both physically and emotionally. The staff was very communicative with me and my siblings regarding my mother's care. I am very glad my mom lived at Sunrise!

My mom has been in Sunrise Senior Living for seven years ever since my dad passed away. She has a lovely, sunny apartment and we arranged from the start for med techs to bring her meds everyday. I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff there. My mom has had a difficult time in the past year or so and the staff has been attentive, supportive, communicative and even though I live 2000 miles away, I know they are making sure she is okay all the time. And they are very patient when my mom gets cranky (as happens). On a recent visit my mom got a stomach bug (age 92) and we ended up going to the ER twice. The staff was professional, prompt and conscientious about being sure everything was done to make her return from the hospital stays safe and pleasant. There are many activities that go on in the beautifully decorated and comfortable common living room: banjo and piano players, gentle stretching and exercise classes, learning opportunities, the list goes on. Family members are always welcomed. I cannot say enough positive things about Sunrise (Countryside), and I am so grateful my mom has been able to live there these last seven years. Thank you.
