Child of resident/client

4.0 out of 5 stars

A+ staff

Mom moved in October and passed at the end of January. Construction on the common area started the day before she moved in. It was supposed to take 3 weeks but was still unfinished when she died 4 months later. There was very poor communication from Sunrise on progress and status, causing a lot of frustration. I don't know if it contributed to Moms decline, but it certainly didn't help. On the flip side, the staff was top notch. Very caring, loving and considerate. I couldn't ask for a better group of humans to take care of my Mom. The director, [name removed] started in his role the day Mom moved in and was a rock star. Unfortunately I heard he left the business. The staff made a miserable situation bearable. And the sense of community among the other families and residents was very genuine and heart warming. The food seemed OK but Mom stopped eating and the construction limited the food options. One thing that was tacky was that the occasionally invited family to a breakfast but felt the need to charge $[removed] a head when we're already paying $[removed] a month.

Great choice for seniors.

Overall the facility was great. Very friendly staff. Aware of needs and issues. My Aunt seemed happy with the food. Didn't really participate in many activities, but there seemed to be others engaged. A cozy environment. Looked a 3 facilities-this one priced in the middle. I find that most are pretty expensive overall. I was very happy with the facility and would recommend if you have the resources.

Staff and Environment

Nice and clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Meds distributed and ordered thru Wayne Pharmacy. Visiting hours were good, staff accessible when needed. I would recommend this facility however the costs were high for his condition, he was in for respite care for 30 days.

Welcoming environment

When it comes to the activities we are unable to evaluate due to my dad's medical condition. What we like the best about the community is the welcoming environment. What they could improve on would be acknowledgement of limitations with patients requiring higher level of care.

Beware of construction

Under construction for six month out of the months. The aids are amazing, but they could definitely use a few more for sure. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had.

A Successful Transition

A member of my family with memory issues needed a safe place to go between hospitalization and permanent placement in another part of the country. Sunrise of Wayne turned out to be the perfect solution. For two months our loved one received compassionate, highly skilled memory care. The staff members at Sunrise were 100% attentive to her needs and, when any of us in the family had questions, they were responsive and helpful. It’s not really fair to single out staff members because every one of them was wonderful — but I’d like to thank resident care director [name removed],and memory care coordinator [name removed], for setting a tone of caring professionalism. Because of Sunrise’s exceptional staff, all of us in the family had peace of mind and our loved one thrived.

You will never find a finer place for your loved one.

My husband was here for 2 years 7 years ago. My experience was always positive. So when I needed help with my mother, 2 1/2 years ago, it was an easy decision. I was surprised to see all the same staff, especially since Covid happened in between. A sign of a well run place is staff retention and minimal turnover; especially in these times. As a Registered Nurse with 50+ years of experience, I know what to look for. You will never have to worry if you choose Sunrise of Wayne. My mom recently needed some dietary changes which were easily adapted by management and the dietary staff. The staff responsible for my mom’s daily care are both experienced and loving towards her. If you want to have a clear mind and heart when making your decision, I would highly recommend Sunrise of Wayne.

Corporate Driven

Sunrise does not even deserve a star. This is a corporate ran facility. They have staff that is not trained besides being under staffed to the number of residents. My mother had experienced being slapped across the face, not bathed, left unattended, to an activity employee tell us my mom was resting when she had passed. She wore other residents clothes and her pillows kept going missing I replaced up to 6 pillows. They don't clean the rooms. The list goes on and on. If you want to know more reach out I can give you a book. I am not hiding behind a fake name. Should your parent need assisted living DON'T GO HERE!!! You will be sorry.

Sunrise surprise

From the moment my family and I walked through the front doors of Sunrise of Wayne , we thought this could be a nice place for my dad. By the time we finished our tour, almost two hours later, we were convinced this is the only place for my dad. The sales staff, all the personnel were so nice and helpful guiding us through the process. I have a lot of respect and appreciate that many of the staff have been there for over a decade. Says something, doesn’t it?

Sunrise of Wayne Review

My 95 year old mother has lived by herself for almost 20 years. Then she had an injury and we had to convince her she needed to be in a place that provided assistance. We started looking at assisted living facilities. Nothing clicked. Then we walked into Sunrise of Wayne. The residents were smiling, the staff looked happy to be there and there was plenty of activity. We signed the contract and started to move my mom in. From day one she felt at home. The day she moved in various staff members knocked on her door and introduced themselves. The residents embraced her and she started to attend every activity. When I ask her if she is happy, she tells me she feels lucky to be able to live in such a wonderful place.

Feels like home

As soon as I walked into Sunrise, I knew this was where my mom needed to be. Every single person I spoke with on the journey made me feel comforted and lighter. On the day she moved in, the staff members that helped her settle in and get to know her treated her with the utmost respect. They asked her what HER choices were to get up in the morning, have her meals, shower preferences, bedtime preferences. She tells me how kind everyone is and she raves about the food! She told me that this was the happiest she’s been in a long time. I leave there after our visits with a lump in my throat, not one of despair or sadness; but one of joy and gratitude knowing that she’s in the best of hands.
