Sunrise of Mt Vernon

From interview to move in to daily care and activities- the team at Sunrise at Mount Vernon has been involved and respectful of my resident’s needs and well being. The care staff quickly adapted to her individual needs. The activities have allowed her to regain her social skills after a few years (including Covid) of alone at home time. Beyond this, the team has assisted me with her transition - setting expectations, moving and support during her transition. I marvel at how members of the staff know each resident and seemingly their routines and preferences. Caring and upbeat vibe when you enter the front door.

I appreciate the commitment and sincere care and concern consistently demonstrated by the staff. Additionally, the diverse daily activities provide opportunities for the assisted living, as well as the REM residents a robust community.

So I recently went to the Mount Vernon location to see into the 30 day trial of the assisted-living program for my mom. I was referred from the [removed]. [name removed] has been a godsend and made the whole process so easy for me. She clearly loves her job and the residents there as is evident by the way they light up when seeing her. I have had some not great experiences at facilities in the past and it is so nice to see someone who cares the way she does I am truly sooooo appreciative for everything she has done for me and her assistance. I hope Sunrise knows how lucky they are to have her there representing Sunrise as a whole Thank you [name removed] for everything. You are an angel my friend

We appreciated how they went above and beyond to get her assessed. She was unable to come in for the assessment and they had a staff member go out to her house and complete the assessment. The intake team did a great job updating us on where we were in the admission process. I was concerned about the room her friends picked out for her, since I am in Georgia and she is in Virginia, the staff took the time and gave me a FaceTime tour of her room, floor and facility amenities. I like that they encourage the residents to get out of bed and interact during meal times and reinforce connectivity. I appreciate that the dining area and food presentation is reminiscent of a fine dining restaurant. Her friends are able to eat meals with her during their visits. I like that if there is an issue or concern, I am notified immediately. They do a great job with communicating changes and requests to the family members.

I help my aunt to transition from her home to Sunrise Senior Living with the help of [name removed] from the management team there. [name removed] is extremely caring, professional, knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills. She took time to get to know my aunt as a resident by going to her room to check on her, thereby, addressing any concerns she had to make her comfortable. The entire team at Sunrise Senior Living at Mt. Vernon is friendly and all seems to work together as a team to benefit the resident. They offer many social activities to meet outings for the residents as well. My aunt experienced a challenge that required her to get physical outside the center and Sadia Ali went to see her and brought her a very nice blanket. It made my aunt feel so loved. Lastly, Sunrise works very closely with Mt. Vernon Hospital, especially with their physical therapy program. I highly recommend this facility to to clients selecting a special place to put their love ones.

We moved Mom here on [date removed] from another ALF in Fredericksburg after a series of health events, closer to us. Unfortunately she passed on[date removed] under hospice care. We felt the facility was very nice, clean, lots of open areas indoors and outdoors that we hoped Mom could enjoy. She was able to participate in a few of the many activities offered, such as flower arranging and bingo. We think she liked it there, but didn’t have enough time or was healthy enough to make many friends. The staff was awesome, from the top down. Whenever we were there, the staff members took time to answer our questions, and were always polite. Mom was at times a difficult resident due to her health issues, but the care managers and others truly cared for her. Several of them came to say goodbye on the day she passed, and gave the family hugs. The proximity to Mt. Vernon hospital was also a plus, since she was there twice during her brief stay at Sunrise.

I have been at Sunrise at Mt. Vernon for approximately 3 1/2 months. To date, they have met or exceeded all of their commitments that we discussed when making the decision to come here! The friendliness, care & concern, and like ability of the staff and other residents have me calling this my “home”. I was at a different assisted living facility prior to Sunrise MV, and I can genuinely say that in EVERY aspect it is infinitely better here. Sunrise MV is not only a major improvement of my day to day life; it has also played a key role in achieving significant health improvements in a relatively short period of time. The med techs and Nurse Practitioner are simply outstanding!!! The facility leadership is very hands on and sets a great example of care and concern for the entire staff to follow! I can genuinely say that every Care Manager that I have interacted with treats me like a family member. I highly recommend Sunrise MV to anyone looking for a place to call “home”!!!

This is a terrible facility for anyone bedridden. There were some nice and friendly staff, but overall this was not the place for my mother. After having a stroke, my mother was paralyzed and nonverbal. Although we were paying for checks every 3 to 4 hours, there were days she was not checked for 6, 6 1/2, and even 8 hours! We had a camera in the room with a sign on the door stating “room under surveillance” and still my mother got substandard care! The nights are the worse, medicines are not given on time because there is only one medical technician on duty at night. This is a terrible place!!!

Our biggest complaint is the wait times at meal times can be too long in serving and that caregivers also serve as the waitstaff during mealtimes which can cause problems. However, the Activities Director is excellent. Variety of activities and entertainment offered. Activities director is Always open for suggestions and new ideas on activities, clubs, outings etc.

Beautiful facility with many places to have private or large groups gather. Wonderful staff. A variety of creative, interesting programs for residents. Ability to care for hospice, respite and memory care in addition to regular assistive, excellent care. Interesting variety of geographic locations of residents gives a nice mix of backgrounds and conversations. Games, singing, fabulous word games,painting, cooking and more leep residents active with their community.

I am enjoying my stay at Sunrise at Mt.Vernon for respite stay. The community is clean, beautiful landscape, amazing activities, team members are very welcoming and supportive.Food is amazingly delicious, dining staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. GREAT leadership, very knowledgeable and welcoming and very helpful.

We chose Sunrise of Mt. Vernon because of the cleanliness, layout of the facility, staff ratio, and proximity to my home. The staff are very caring, helpful, and friendly. The Remembrance Unit is very well organized,

As a Senior Real Estate Specialist I make it my goal to be familiar with the various senior communities. When I toured Sunrise at Mt. Vernon I felt welcomed immediately. The place was very clean. Not only was the management and staff friendly, so were the residents that I interacted with.

Touring Sunrise Mount Vernon was insightful and individually tailored. The rooms are designed specifically to meet the needs of seniors comfort, Sunrise has a wide range of activities designed to keep seniors engaged and active. But most importantly, sunrise has a desicated and empathetic staff

The overall experience with this facility is good except for the food. The food is too salty especially the foods that have sauces like the Salisbury steak. Also there needs to be more food varieties and options for alternatives in the daily menu.

I am a professional in the industry & Sunrise at Mt Vernon provides a warm & inviting atmosphere with a caring staff! [name removed], the Director of Sales, is great! It’s an intimate community with nice appointments & the newly renovated apartments are a great edition, very spacious.

Great facility and amazing staff! Sadia and her staff are knowledgeable and friendly and super in line with senior needs and resources! The facility is clean and inviting and has so many fun events and activities for their residents! Amazing community!

I have had the pleasure of visiting and working with the caring staff at the Mount Vernon location of Sunrise Senior Living in Alexandria , VA. The Director of Sales, [name removed] Ali and all her staff truly care about each one of the residents as well as each other - you feel the love when you first walk through the door! The caregivers treat the residents as family and it shows in the their happy faces. I can not recommend a place more highly. I always feel welcome each time I visit, it is a perfect place for your loved one!

Sunrise at Mount Vernon has been the right place for my wife’s needs. The Remembrance unit is caring and considerate. They are attentive to her needs and provide round the clock assistance. The meals are well prepared and tasty and the activities are very helpful to her memory care. Highly recommended!!
