SERVICES:

• Independent living is a lifestyle option for active seniors – without the worries of household maintenance. Independent living may offer apartment-style or condo-style living.
• Assisted living is ideal for seniors who need assistance with activities of daily living, including eating, bathing, dressing and medication management, but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Working closely with residents, their family members and physicians, Sunrise staff members create individualized personal care plans intended to meet each resident’s specific needs and preferences.
• Alzheimer’s care is generally offered through the Sunrise Reminiscence program and is provided in secure, homelike environments delivered by staff members who are specially trained to understand and meet memory-impaired residents’ unique needs.
• Nursing and rehabilitative care is available to individuals who need 24-hour skilled nursing services, post-hospital or post-surgical care. Individualized care plans and regular health assessments are offered along with physical, occupational and speech therapies.
• Hospice is available in most Sunrise communities through the Sunrise Trinity Hospice Program in a growing number of markets and the use of a network of preferred providers in other locations.
• Home Care is available in most Sunrise communities through the use of a network of preferred providers to seniors seeking more specific and added levels of service and care such as rehabilitation therapy.
• Short-term stays provide service to seniors when family members are away or need a short break from caring for the senior in their life or for seniors needing assistance after a hospital visit or during an illness.
• General amenities and services at most communities include dining options, activities, programs, transportation and housekeeping and are offered in a comfortable environment.
