Sunrise understands that no two people are alike. This is why it is so important Sunrise caregivers build lasting bonds with each resident and their family. The stronger the relationship, the better the caregiver can personalize service. As a result of this belief, at Sunrise, each resident is cared for by a Designated Care Manager. Sunrise Designated Care Managers are responsible for assisting residents with their needs. But, that is only the start. Designated Care Managers offer a helping hand, listening ear and a serving heart. They encourage independence, preserve dignity and assist residents in their suites and throughout the community.

How Designated Care Managers Work

Designated care managers are compassionate and trained caregivers committed to championing quality of life for seniors, who consistenty care for the same group of residents. They focus on learning each resident’s unique needs and are supported by other members of the community team. In addition to resident care, designated care managers also assist with housekeeping, laundry, dining services, activities and other functions that allow them to spend more time together with the residents.

The Benefits

Designated care managers soon become a friend the resident can turn to for emotional support. They keep a close eye on the resident and are uniquely placed to observe and react to changes. Because they get to know the resident so well through daily interactions, they can make regular, valuable contributions to the resident’s Individualized Service Plan. An additional benefit that is appreciated by families is that they know they can turn to one person at the community who knows their loved one well.
