Cautiously Happy

Well they seem very resident centered but they don't seem to have a very good management system in place. They seem to be kind of disorganized and that can be a little frustrating. If you have the patience to work with a disorganized management team the place is great. This most important thing is my mother seems to like it and that's saying a lot. They are very friendly and very supportive of each resident.

Outdated, Unsafe

- 1/2 complex is under construction so a bit disheveled and you can only see the old section of resident rooms. You can see a couple areas in renovated section. - old section is very outdated, worn, dark, smelly and uninviting - rooms visited were very tiny, old/outdated, odd odors and the shower is, as we were told a fiberglass unit you would find in a camper. A chair was inside the shower unit-the resident would have to be showered by a staff member!! It is a step up into the chair, feet would dangle, no way to be self-showering and the curtain would basically be in the resident’s lap AND the water would drip onto the floor! Safety hazard and lack of self reliance especially if in a wheelchair! - there appeared to be a hospital style meal cart which we did not expect - hallways were very narrow..wheelchair dependent residents could only travel one at a time I would not bring my mom to this facility..I left and cried all the way home.

Review for Sunrise at Countryside

Caregivers are kind, caring, helpful, and friendly. Staff is good overall, but should have taken action when resident had a rattling cough. After family member asked staff to check his lungs, they advised he should go to the ER.

They are currently renovating so the available apartments are smaller/older. Would like more communication from staff and regular check ins/updates on my mom.

a nice community

What we like the most about Sunrise of Countryside is the friendliness of the staff, they clearly show the care is genuine. Food could use much more variety, however we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Things to know about Sunrise Countryside

I'm skeptical of how they determine additional costs for care. They said it would be temporary but they never adjusted the extra price down after 90 days. I was under the impression that they would reassess after 30 days. My mom didn't eat lunch or dinner there and chose to make her own food but my one experience eating there was not great. For the cost I would think the food would be much better

Comfort and security for a youngish Alzheimer's patient

Sunrise has provided a home for my cousin with early onset Alzheimer's disease that is comfortable, safe, and gives her a certain amount of agency as well. The staff is very nice, affectionate and actually quite fun. The food seems to be pretty good, too. The spaces are clean and well maintained. I like that they bring young people in to interact with the residents. The facility is undergoing renovations right now so some activities are not available which is a shortcoming, but hopefully they will be in place soon. It is good to show up for your relative and make it known that she/he has outside support.

Compassionate Care

From the initial visit through the move in date and beyond, the staff of Sunrise at Countryside have been helpful,attentive, caring and respectful of both resident and family members. I cannot thank them enough for guiding me through the application and move in process. They are always available to answer questions and assist when needed.

Sunrise was a great decision

I have found the people on the staff wonderful. They are so kind to my mom and are a pleasure to deal with. They communicate very well to me as the caretaker. Mom thinks they could communicate a little better with her. But she is also difficult to deal with so I can see why they come more to me. I'm very happy with sunrise. They are pretty expensive, we spend upwards of [removed] every month. But for this area the value is okay.

Very positive experience

Everybody is very helpful and attentive to my needs. The staff come and check making sure I am okay. I haven't participated in activities yet since I'm still getting myself acclimated to my new environment. So far i am very happy and satisfied with my new place.
