the facility is small allowing me as a visitor to know all the staff and vice versa. They're very caring and communicated any issues or concerns. The room sizes are sufficient. We have not felt crowded during our family visits.... Read more

It was too small, it wasn't as spacious as Emeritus. That was probably the thing for us, my wife loves to eat out and it wasn't like a restaurant, it was just too small. The director followed up with me the most, he kept calling and when I told him I had made my decision he congratulated me on it.

Melissa was wonderful and offered so much information. Sunrise is just a bit out of my aunt's price range at this time and I was most concerned about what would happen when the funds are gone. If cost wasn't an issue, I would ask for a room for my aunt today !

I thought that was the worst place that we looked at. I found out later that they're not even medicaid eligable. If you run out of money they ship the person out again. When I brought that up to the sales guy he just said, well, we'll find them a nice place. I thought he was just overbearing. I was really turned off by the whole place. I thought it needed updating and I didn't see people enjoying any activities while I was there.

September 6, 2013We’re very sorry to hear you had this experience. Please contact [removed] with additional details so that we can address any other concerns you may have. - The Sunrise Team
There is not enough staff for the care that I need. I'm paralyzed on my right side so I need help getting to the bathroom. I have to schedule when I need to brush my teeth and go to the bathroom because they have to make sure there is someone here to help me. I don't have a roll in shower and they promised me I would get a roll in shower. I had to purchase my own lift because they only have one in the whole building. It hasn't been a good experience. I'm moving out soon.

Mom and I visited a couple weeks ago. Very nice, but short on storage space in the room. They also don't transition to Medicaid.

Very nice, upscale hotel feel. Rooms are all slightly different. Have 3 levels of care. It seems like they have processes that are followed which will ensure good care.

A Place for Mom has scored Bickford of Upper Arlington 9.1 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. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
