Mom seems to like it there

She is doing fine at Sunrise of Stamford. Mom seems to like it there. The intake process was good. Everyone was nice and well organized. She likes the food. The assistance she is getting is good. She is interacting and socializing well. It is as good as could be expected. So far so good.

I very much enjoyed meeting Scott, his delightful team and even some of the residents. Very comfortable setting and overall feel in this community. It seems very organized and well run, I would feel very much at home myself if this is Where my mother-in-law were to choose.

So glad we chose Sunrise Stamford for mom

The staff and the care in the memory care unit is wonderful. Mom is diagnosed with dementia with behavioral problems. They take very good care of her and she likes the staff. The doctor I chose in Stamford is Dr. Wang and she has been very supportive during this whole ordeal.

Constant upgrading of care at Sunrise

I'd like to share the good and the bad and hope that others can be helped. I tried checking the reviews before I moved my mother to Sunrise of Stamford. On the positive: my mother does like the other residents and one of her care managers is very good to her. The major negative is that the goal of Sunrise is to continually upgrade her care so they can increase her monthly bill. They are less concerned with actually delivering the upgraded service. i.e they upgraded her care that she needs help going to the bathroom but no caremanager knows that so she goes to the bathroom herself. They continuosly call me every 2 or 3 weeks to tell me that she needs additional care which requires another few thousand a month. I am afraid to answer the phone because I'm afraid they will be upping her bill again. I thought that it would be less stressful for me to have her in assisted living but in fact it has been more stressful. I will be looking for another facility for my mother.

A Place for Mom has scored Benchmark at Stamford 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
