Sunrise of Lower Makefield

What our family liked the most about Sunrise of Lower Makefield was the staff. The staff was great and the facility was excellent plus nearby. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend this community to other families

The management staff was not very professional. There was an issue with my father-in-law being prescribed a medication that he shouldn't have been given daily at his age (88). There was an incident because of that and we had to move him out of the facility and the State of Pennsylvania had to conduct an investigation into the incident.

After getting bumped out of a Memory Care facility in February due to them not following protocol, we scrambled again and found Sunrise. Have in a semi private room. But if course as the weeks have gone by, it's apparent that he does need a memory care assistant. So we hope to move him downstairs in the next couple of weeks to their unit. He struggles with feeding himself and then has out burst when no one can help him. The move should elevate this problem. I am curious as there has not been a new food menu up since March. I have no idea what is offered currently that would be better for him to manage due to gout, arthritis and just not able to control his hands. The aids upstairs can sometimes support him. And thank goodness for hospice Aid [name removed] who with your aid can turn and move him since he has no mobility. We realize he needs more guidance and help. His rug has been a mess and we asked for it to be steamed cleaned repeatedly. Nothing has been done. House keeping seems laxed.

My loved one is currently a resident at Sunrise of Lower Makefield and everything has been very good for her at this facility, so far. Compared to her previous facility, there are more professionals on staff and there is a higher level of care available. The food is wonderful and the surroundings are beautiful.

The nursing staff was fantastic. They really cared about my brother. If there was a medical issue, they would inform me and talk to the doctor. There was a lot of communication, they kept me in the loop on everything. The apartment was kept clean as well as all the common areas. It did not smell. My brother did not like the food. He always said it was not good. I would definitely recommend this facility. Sunrise brought hospice in toward the end and the nursing staff kept in communication with me daily, of course I was there daily too. But the nursing staff made sure that he passed with dignity. I very much appreciated their support as he came to the end.

The staff is very helpful and accommodating. The nursing staff is top notch very helpful with getting mom's appointments scheduled and especially when discharging they were very organized to get meds for coming back home. There are a lot of activities and the women running the programs was very nice. Mom loved playing bingo. She still talks about it. She enjoyed the trip to the beach and out to lunch and shopping. I highly recommend this place.

Mom says the food service is not good, and she hasn't been happy with the food itself either. The homey feeling is what my mother was attracted to, the porches, and the area.

This has been a very good experience for my loved one and family. There is a weekly update provided by the community. The communication is good and the staff are quick to respond to any questions or concerns the family has. There are three meals a day served to the residents and there are choices to choose from. The protein selection could have more variety and better quality.

The staff was exceptional. They got my mom up walking and the physical therapists were top notch as were the occupational therapists. The doctor and the nurses she was under the care of were great. We would definitely recommend Sunrise of Lower Makefield.

I like the atmosphere here. That's one of the reasons why we chose them. They have nice outdoor areas and lots of different sitting areas. The staff seem to be very friendly and caring. Cleanliness isn't perfect, but it's generally pretty clean. She seems happy with the food, and they give plentiful servings.

They were fantastic. The facility was extremely clean. My loved one was only there for short time before passing away, but they were wonderful people. They were extremely nice, pleasant, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable. They know their stuff, and I felt like they just couldn't help us enough. Getting things set up and moved into her room went smoothly - they helped us with everything. We had a different relative there a few years back, and with each of our experiences, they were great across the board. And compared to a nursing home, the cost is about half.
