Sunrise at River Road review

My dad loves eating there. He actually will turn down a restaurant to eat there. That being said, the options are not very healthy and if you're on a special diet, I don't think they cater to that. I've asked them to halve portions, as he's gained 30 pounds and is now an unhealthy weight, when he was normal going in. I don't think they are halving portions, despite me asking several times and them saying that they do. When I've walked in during a meal, it looks the same. All the activities seem very female oriented, knitting, sewing, painting. It'd be nice if someone would be a Buddy and encourage him to go to at least something, but doesn't happen. He forgets people's names, so is embarrassed and withdrawals socially. Value for cost- I'm not sure, as I can't really compare to other facilities. I do find it annoying that it's [fee removed] per day if I want someone to remind my dad to brush his teeth twice a day. Not that they have to brush his teeth, just pop in and say- time to brush your teeth! The community is clean. The staff are friendly. Our loved ones enjoy eating there, although ideally there would be healthier options. Although they have a fair amount of activities scheduled, a larger variety of activities that are more inclusive of all the residents would be nice.

Look elsewhere if your loved one has diabetes.

We did not have a good experience. I'm sure they mean well and they are very friendly but I would be careful about recommending sunrise to anyone with medical conditions. It's fine for assisted living. Anyone who needs a bandaid put on daily should choose a different facility.

Our Experience

The staff at Sunrise at River Road was very friendly and great to work with. I ate there a few times and the food was good, with lots of choices at each meal. As for the activities, we knew there was no pool/aqua, but the other plusses outweighed that one missing feature.

Amazing Place

My Mother has been living here since August. I love the staff! They are friendly and caring, always smiling. From our very first visit, I noticed how the staff spoke to every single person they came in contact with. They always have something nice to say and they make sure to update me on my Mother. I would highly recommend Sunrise at River Road.

Wonderful Home

Sunrise Senior Living has been a wonderful home for my mom. She was apprehensive at first, but adapted well and it soon became her HOME. This is due to the outstanding friendly and professional care of the staff at Sunrise. They pay close attention to her and have became her friends. Sunrise has exceeded our expectations.

Not sure I'd recommend right now as there seems to be a change in staff mood like a management change coming. I also worry that the only time interaction with residents is at meal & medicine time. Meals are way too salty!!

Review for Sunrise at River Road

The facility is beautiful and home-like, the staff is friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. The accessibility of the room to common areas (doesn't require my mom to walk long distances to get around), smaller number of residents than other places, nice amenities and continuum of care offered, competitive price.

Homey, great staff, well run.

My mom seems to be happy. She does complain about the wait time in the dining room though. However based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to other families.

Highly recommended

I am very happy with my experience at Sunrise at River Road. It it always clean and well kept and they are super conscious of infection control. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They are thoughtful, patient and very kind and make us all feel at home. In my own case I have a history of fall and they are diligent about keeping me safe. There are plenty of scheduled activities each day so you are able to keep busy if you want to. My favorite thing to do is the word games. The food is chef prepared, I have not had a bite of food that I did not like - it is delicious and served warm and ready to eat daily. Overall it is a night and day difference from my last facility. I would and have highly recommended Sunrise to others that I know.

After 83 years we decided to move Mom across country from Boston into an assisted living facility. It was extremely scary and could have gone real bad. We took a tour of 4 facilities during the height of COVID, Sunrise at River took the necessary precautions needed but made you feel very comfortable and we just received great vibes after the tour. It was obvious that we were going to choose Sunrise at River. Mom entered the Memory Care Unit over a year ago, we have never seen her so Happy in a very long time. The staff is great, they truly care and they take an interest in all the residences, even past experiences before they were residents. The Director of Sunrise is very knowledgeable and has had a great background in working with assisted living facilities, you notice that upon entering Sunrise, they are like a big family! So Happy we chose Sunrise at River, Tucson Arizona.

We chose Sunrise at River Road because after looking through several, Sunrise immediately strikes you as a warm caring and friendly place. The men and women who talked to my father were genuinely sincere. The food is great and they are chef prepared meals, they have a variety of choices that changes every day. I would recommend them to others looking.

I would never recommend to others looking for memory care

I would tell others that this is strictly for the memory care part of the facility. I would also say that unfortunately due to my own medical issues I was unable to visit myself, so this is based off of my caretakers information that she gave me and phone interactions. I felt strongly enough that we moved him to another facility. I was very disappointed.

Very Impressed!

Have been very impressed with management and staff. Well trained staff, they check on my family member periodically thru the day without having to be called. Management is very proactive in making sure policy and procedures are being followed. When notified of an issue management sees that the issue is addressed promptly. Facility is well kept.

I did not have a good experience dealing with Sunrise at River

Please don't waste your time at this facility. It may look nice on the surface but, underneath it is just not a good place at all. I was quoted one price and it was in my Mother's price range but, after I spent hours filling out and uploading tons of requested move in paperwork, the old "bait and switch" routine was pulled. At the 11th hour they jacked the price up from [rate removed] rate for a studio apt to [rate removed] [name removed] didn't even have the decency to at least make a counter offer. It was well, if you don't accept it at this price, you can pick up your [fee removed] deposit. It's really disgusting that they know that when you go there you obviously have a loved one who needs care and they make sure to take advantage of you and your loved ones vulnerabilities. I want to say more but what would be the point. The kind of people who would treat the elderly so shabbily would never understand why what they did was so abhorrent.

We chose Sunrise at River Road because of the availability at the time and also after talking to staff and looking at the community, it was really top notch and we figured would be a good fit. The room sizes are very ample. It is very well maintained and staff members are very attentive to the residents. I am not local so some things I would like to have a little more communication and updates on so I can address things in a more timely manner. It is definitely a 5 star facility and I would recommend them.
