Sunrise of Canyon Crest

The forge of life in my uncle’s spirit is reignited being in the nexus of quality care, operated by a professional staff, at Sunrise at Canyon Crest (SaCC). With quality care at the center of the nexus, it branches out to social activities that keep my uncle active and the center of attention. SaCC monthly brunch brings family and friends of residents together for social interaction and good food. So, for my uncle, every month is Thanksgiving, because he is the main attraction and King of the castle. Thank you SaCC.

As it turned out, the initial choice in memory care for our loved one was not the best fit. Enter Sunrise at Canyon Crest. Their incredibly supportive team (all staff!) anticipated needs to provide a thoughtful transition. The change in our loved one’s demeanor was palpable from day one. She is now thriving within a shared community that provides a safe, stable and nurturing environment through consistent care and communication, and where she is living her best life.

My mom has been at Sunrise for five years and has now turned 100. They take excellent care of my mom and always respond promptly to any concerns. They have excellent bedside manner. Mom has a need for a sit to stand unit since she can’t stand and hold weight. The caregivers do a remarkable job of keeping her safe. Also I am informed regularly of how she is doing both health wise and mood wise The person who is in charge of all caregivers has remarkable rapport with my mom. more than one time she has motivated mom to participate in activities. the head nurse is incredibly caring and called doctors and the hospital to coordinate mom’s care when she was sick. I can’t say enough about how pleased I am. They’re the best senior living in the area.

My aunt lived in her home for over 50 years so I was really concerned to move her. We found Sunrise at Canyon Crest and she loves it. Sunrise provides a quiet, clean, and secure environment, the staff is very attentive and good natured, and most importantly, my aunt said she feels very comfortable there. Her latest comment to me was, "If I won the lottery, I would still stay here. I like it that much." There is no greater testimony than that. I would recommend Sunrise at Canyon Crest.

Our parents both suffer with dementia and are unable to care for themselves. They have lived at Sunrise of Canyon Crest for five months. The care provided by the caregivers is excellent, the communication between the staff and our family is excellent, both Mom and Dad are doing so much better since they moved from their home into Sunrise of Canyon Crest. With them living in this beautiful, secure environment, it takes the day-to-day worry away from the family. Thank you Sunrise of Canyon Crest.

Mom moved into Sunrise almost a year ago after spending 90 days in rehab for a broken hip. She was so excited that her own furniture made her new apartment feel very much like home. Mom Loves her big picture window that looks out over the beautiful park like setting with flowers, trees, birds and patios for her to enjoy. We are more than grateful for the professional staff from Housekeepers to Case managers who keep us informed on Mom’s care. She enjoys talking about how the staff, activities and dining room friends (that have become family) bring joy and laughter to their cottage. Her meals, medication and health are being monitored daily and we are informed immediately if there is a issue. The cottage, her room, laundry and personal hygiene are always kept clean and fresh. It’s not easy to make the Assisted Living move for your loved one, but it’s the best decision we’ve made for Mom. We can rest easy knowing that Mom is in good loving, compassionate hands and she enjoys her new

Wonderful caring staff who will go above and beyond for all of their residents. Nice, clean and well kept facility who reminds you of home instead of an assisted living facility. Awesome chef who prepare fresh food everyday for their residence. Residents are kept busy everyday with the various activities, exercises, entertainment, games even monthly outings to restaurants or shops. My father calls this place his home.

My wife, [name removed] and I came to Sunrise at Canyon Crest almost five years ago, because of her Parkinson's Disease, and I needed more support in caring for her. We were able to continue living together, while she received extra care for her condition, and I was able to be independent when circumstances warranted it. Sunrise at Canyon Crest is a small facility, nestled in a park-like setting, with a professional staff that serves the three cottages, each with 25 residents. Two of the cottages are for Assisted Living and one specializes in Memory Care. The environment is peaceful and surrounded by nature. The staff is well-trained, resident focused, and caring. Many staff have been with Sunrise for 10+ years, which speaks to the regard they receive and then give to residents. My wife eventually moved into Memory Care, and eventually into Hospice Care at Sunrise before passing away last year. I recommend Sunrise at Canyon Crest without reservation.

One month ago I did the most difficult thing I've ever done - I made the choice to place my wife in an assisted living facility. The guilt, the worry, the uncertainty, all weighed heavily on me. There have been two things that have kept me upright and moving forward. One is the support and encouragement of family and friends. The second is the confidence that I have chosen the right place - Sunrise. From the very first interaction with an employee there to the text I received five minutes ago with feedback regarding my wife the experience has helped to put me at ease. I have witnessed sincere and consciences care. They have been responsive to my questions and anxieties. To consider, only after a month, that the staff is not only like family to [name removed] but also to me is quite remarkable.

My uncle was in a previous nursing home in another state. The facility, the staff and the level of care were unsatisfactory. Upon retrieval from the facility, transporting to California and transferring to Sunrise at Canyon Crest, my uncle has, in a sense, gained a new life in the Sunrise Community. On his first day there, he was greeted by very friendly staff and health care professionals that made him feel like family. Care needs were treated immediately and a weekly regiment was also established. With Sunrise at Canyon Crest, the life spark is back in my uncle's eyes and I can sleep at night knowing that he is in good hands in the Sunrise Community.

We are so pleased with the quality of care we received at Sunrise. The staff is professional and kind. The administration is capable and responsive. The home is clean and welcoming. I would recommend it to any who asked.

My mother has been at Sunrise for 5 years, and she is so happy there. The staff are so friendly. From the minute you are met at the door, you feel the joy in this place. They are well trained to deal with different needs of each resident. They are always available to answer any questions you might have. My family does not stress when we leave her because we know she is getting the best care in Riverside.

My mom, who has beginning dementia and some fairly hard to manage health concerns, was very hesitant to be moved into assisted living and she had a very rough time with the transition, but the staff were incredible. They encouraged her to engage in activities, they focused on learning her preferences, and they helped her to make Sunrise at Canyon Crest her home. Now we come back to Sunrise after a lunch out and my mom exclaims "I'm home!" The staff are wonderful about keeping track of her medications and health, in fact she has improved her health since moving there. She is constantly telling me about the activities she does (making bracelets, art work, exercise, gossiping with friends at meals, music shows, etc). There are so many small ways that Sunrise is wonderful: they notice when mom gets a new pedicure, they helped her move out a broken dresser, staff often come in just to sit and talk, they have great communication with me, and so much more.

We looked at a dozen places before my Mom chose Sunrise at Canyon Crest. It's a small facility, which really makes Mom comfortable. The apartment she has is just right for her. The staff are attentive and kind. My Mom isn't much of a joiner but staff now have her coming out and participating. Sunrise had the best Covid experience for residents and families. Everyone was safe and families still had access to loved ones. Thank you Sunrise for easing my stress and taken such good care of my Mom.

My loved one oves the food, and says it is delicious. They have different activities and encourgae residents to participate. The main reason why we picked this community, is because it's all on one level, so it's a single story. The grounds is very beautiful, they have flowers throughout the facility, and they also have a patio with an umbrealla, and chair/tables. The residents can get fresh air. What makes it unique is, they have several cottages throughout the property, which has it's own dining room, and living room. They have a nice large bathroon, fridge, closets, and it's nicely spaced. Overall, it's really nice and welcoming.

It's worth it but expensive.

This was the best option out of all the communities I toured, there was practically no competition. My mom was introverted, but the staff did their best with engaging her in activities. She really enjoyed the food and grew to love it here. The value for the cost was well worth the care your loved one is provided with in return. The residents were are lively and occupied; they weren't just sat in front of a TV all day. The floor plan was very spacious and open. The staff is incredible and took great care of my mom; I would definitely recommend this community to others who are looking.

We're happy with Sunrise. It's a clean facility. I think they're properly staffed, and the people there mean well. There are a lot of younger ladies working there as care assistants, and sometimes they rush a little perhaps. Their personalities come out in the way they do their job. Some get in and get it done, while some take a little more time and interact with my mom more gently. But I believe that variation in bedside manner would happen anywhere you go. It has been an adjustment for my mom, and it has taken some back and forth of them getting to know her and her needs, and her getting to know them. My mom also has dementia, so that's thrown some wrenches into her care. But everything has turned out well overall. My mom raves about how good the food is, which is a big plus. And she likes their coffee, which is important. She's chosen not to participate in activities or get involved with people there, although the staff does try to encourage her. It's a bit pricey for me, and the thing that struck me the most about their billing is they have this very sophisticated algorithm where every little thing that happens gets recorded, and the charges for those things are reflected each month. So the bill changes each month. My mom was combative with them early on when they were trying to do things for her. She was very anxious and uncooperative about the Hoyer lift, and because of that, they made sure she had two people to help instead of one, which costs more. But they've found ways to work around needing two people. We've talked about moving her to the memory unit, which they tell me is better suited to care for her needs. But her neurologist prescribed an anti-anxiety medication that seems to have mellowed Mom out and seems to be a good thing. She's not feeling as anxious about every little thing. I appreciated how willing Sunrise was to work with us to come up with different solutions rather than just push Mom up to that higher level of care. They have been really good at working with our primary doctor and specialists to handle her medication management through Kaiser Permanente. I feel very fortunate and blessed that we are able to cover the cost, which I know a lot of people cannot do.
