The positives were the staff and cleanliness. The negatives far outweigh e.g. the food was tasteless which I heard other residents complain about in addition to my mother, my mom went to the hospital and I was not informed by Sunrise but the emergency room doctor, the payment portal did not work & as a result we ended up paying exorbitant late fees - just a few of the issues that I can recall but there were more unfortunately. For that price I expected way better.

You really get what you pay for. Toured other less expensive communities and was not impressed. Sunrise at Sheepshead Bay is clean, lively, and the care is outstanding. The residents are well cared for and busy with activities. Would highly recommend.

5 stars all the way around, my mother loved it here. Sunrise Of Sheepshead Bay was a fabulous Assisted Living Facility. It is unfortunate for us that it was private pay. There came a point where my mother needed more assistance and the need for care out paste our ability to afford it. But it is is my opinion that that place was fabulous!

It was the only facility that I was able to get my loved one to. They pay attention to what's going on, and they try to keep my loved one engaged. I would recommend to other families, and I have.

February 16, 2023Hi Judy, Thank you for the wonderful things you said about Sunrise of Sheepshead and the dedicated care givers and team members. Our residents are part of the Sunrise family and we take enormous pride in having the privilege to take care of them.
We toured this facility and really liked it. My mom is old fashioned and really liked the warm, homelike feel. It was our top choice, however it's all private pay and they don't work with insurance. If they did, we would have definitely moved mom here.

November 1, 2022Hi Customer, Each and every guest who enters a Sunrise community is important to us. It is wonderful to know that you had such a positive experience when touring Sunrise of Sheepshead. We would be pleased to answer any remaining questions you may have. If you have additional questions, you are welcome to contact info@sunriseseniorliving.com. Thank you! – The Sunrise Team
The majority of the staff is very friendly and loving. As far as activities, my aunt complains that she's bored a lot. I think it was probably due to pandemic and they didn't have a lot of ways to keep people active during that time. Dining is set up very nice, they always have glassware and nice table cloths. Though my aunt is not always pleased with the food. I also don't feel like they adequately adjusted meals for her medical needs. She has diabetes/high blood pressure and she is sometimes served things she ideally shouldn't have. In terms of care, I'm often very disappointed with the medical care she receives. For cost, the biggest thing is that our cost was underquoted and it ended up being much more.

September 8, 2022Resident care is always a priority at Sunrise of Sheepshead. For nearly 40 years, our Company has had the privilege to take care of thousands of senior residents who have made Sunrise Senior Living their loving and happy home. It’s disappointing whenever we learn that a family member or resident did not enjoy their experience at Sunrise. One dissatisfied member of our community is one too many. Please contact us at information@sunriseseniorliving.com so that we can learn more. Thank you.
My mom came in at the entry level. She had a shared suite which was great. Both ladies had their own room and private bathroom with a great safe shower. This was a great value but as soon as one needs more assistance with daily living, the value goes quickly down. It became unaffordable with private pay. I only wish that we could have afforded to stay there. Still, I give Sunrise Of Sheepshead Bay Assisted Living the highest rating. They also play great music! The most wonderful thing about this place is that they communicate with the families. They are on top of their residents care. You get the feeling from the people who work there, that they love their job. It is also a warm, spacious and airy environment. Soft colors and beautifully decorated.

Our family has has a positive experience. They provided great care to our Dad and Stepmom. My Dad is now in Reminiscence, memory care. The staff is wonderful to him and treat him with care and respect. We know he is safe and in good hands. Big thank you Reminisence staff...you are gems. Would have rated it 5 except for inflation.

For anyone looking for an assisted living community, you know just how daunting the process can be. Look no further! Sunrise Of Sheepshead Bay won our mother’s heart the instance she was so warmly greeted. Continued interest and care by Coordinator, [name removed] and nurses, [name removed] and [name removed], both highly competent, make themselves available to residents and families. Many friendly and wonderful people work behind the scenes making this facility run smooth. The food is good, the place is warm, airy, bright and clean. Our family has peace of mind knowing that our mother is no longer alone. She made friends, participates in activities, run by caring, competent individuals. Our mother looks forward to walking with [name removed] each morning. Every time I see [name removed] he tells me how much he loves his job. Our dear mother is getting the care she needs. We thank all of the wonderful people at Sunrise of Sheepshead Bay from the bottom of our hearts. [name removed] (Daughter of a happy resident)

My mother has been at Sunrise for almost 5 years. Sunrise has given her a great, happy, and enjoyable new chapter in her life. She has a wonderful apartment there, the food makes her happy and the staff treat her like family. We couldnt ask for a better environment for mom to thrive. She loves walking around the Harbor area and the local restaurants and shops. She adjusted to living there seamlessly, always says when asked how she is - "I live in a resort hotel, it's like being on vacation all the time". She made friends and although being any place through the Covid lockdown was difficult everywhere. She was safe and happy.
