Very regimented with assigned seating for meals, morning and evening “room checks”, and furnishings in common areas seemed worn. Didn’t give me a good feel and wasn’t crazy about room layouts either.

January 21, 2020We are sorry to hear about your experience at our community. We would like to connect with you to learn more. Please email information(at)sunriseseniorliving(dot)com with further details so we may follow up. Thank you. - The Sunrise Team
Do not put your love one here. After the fact we heard many bad stories about this place. My father was in this place for a brief time. They had him in the wrong area of the place and at night he was found laying on the floor of his room.... no supervision at night he was rushed to the hospital and died... do not let this happen to you. Heartbreaking. They didn’t even give back the money that was due us being he was in there a brief time.. Put cameras in your room if you are there already and monitor what is going on at night.... I wish we would have :(

This place is a nightmare. Don’t be fooled when you go an meet with them. My father was here for a brief time. He was put into the wrong area with not the right supervision. He was found during the night on the floor helpless.. they rushed him to the hospital where he later died. They were not taking responsibility for their actions... I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy, if you are already stuck there buy a small camera to put in the room to see what is going on. They were certainly not checking on my Dad....To date they have not given us back our money. Just terrible.

I feel that they are doing a great job with mom. The whole family feels that this community has brought life back into mom. Mom has become the natural social butterfly since coming here. The staff is very attentive and accommodating to mom.

This is an outstanding community. Everything is working very well for my mother here. They are taking very good care of her and her needs. This is lovely community, they do a great job with the cleanliness. They have an excellent staff. There are on going activities daily, many for her to choose from.

My mother has been in Sunrise of McCandless for a little over 3 weeks now and we are very pleased and happy with all the staff. They have went out of their way to accommodate my mother's needs and have made her feel at home during this difficult time in her life. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who is concerned about putting their love one in an assisted living. A very trustworthy and caring place.

I couldn't be more pleases for this place for my mom. The staff is excellent, understand, compassionate and helpful. My mom is pleasantly confused on the Alzheimer wing. The staff calls me when there is anything they think I should know about. The food is excellent, the activities are well planned, and when ever I take my mom down to the coffee shop (that's what we call it) on the first floor, she is always greeted by name. Bonnie the receptionist is fantastic, and you could not ask for a better person than Kaycee (In charge of my mom floor). I have nothing but the highest praise for Sunrise Senior Living of McCandless. I hope my kids put me here should the time come.

This is a terrible place for a patient with dementia or Alzheimer's. Their staff does not have the proper knowledge to care for people with these conditions. When my loved one was there, she was neglected. She was often found on the ground and was sent to the hospital continuously. The staff did not always update or communicate effectively the conditions of my family member. There are better places for people with dementia where there is round the clock care and the patients rights and needs come first. This place was over priced and some of the staff was very neglectful.

March 18, 2014Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience. We care deeply for the well-being and safety of all residents and we welcome you to contact us so we can better understand your concerns. –The Sunrise Team
Sunrise is the worst place a dementia patient could ever go. My family member was robbed of her money and dignity. She was thrown out when they claimed they could not care for her any longer. This came after they told us she would always be welcome at Sunrise and they would help us in anyway that they could to meet her needs. A closed dementia unit should be able to care for ANY dementia patient that they agree to take. The place smells, people are always screaming, and it is a very stressful place. Some of the staff members were nice to work with, but all of the good staff members who cared about the patients were left go when the new administration took over. What we ended up with were lies and broken promises. If you have a loved one with dementia, STAY CLEAR of SUNRISE! They are dishonest and ONLY care about their money.

Everything at this community was great. It was very nice looking, and clean, it gave me the impression of a luxury hotel. The staff and the residents were all very friendly, and the staff seemed to know everyone by name. They really seemed interested in everyone individually. It was very expensive, but the service they provided for that price looked excellent.
