Please join us in congratulating Natalie-Jane Macdonald – CEO of Sunrise Senior Living UK and Gracewell Healthcare –  on her distinguished MBE* award for services to healthcare in the 2021 New Year’s Honours List. The annual awards program marks the achievements and service of extraordinary people across the United Kingdom.

As the COVID-19 pandemic keeps most older adults sheltering in place to stay safe, video chat platforms have become a popular way of communicating. Grandparents are reading bedtime stories to grandchildren even though they live across town. Schools and universities are utilizing programs like Zoom to teach. Insurance companies and health professionals are promoting virtual visits as a safe way to monitor a patient’s well-being.

It’s often said that our team members are what continue to make Sunrise the best of the best in the industry. That is especially so during such a challenging, unconventional year. We are honored to reveal the 2020 recipients of Sunrise’s distinguished team member awards – individuals who remained grounded by our mission to champion quality of life for all seniors and tapped into their serving hearts more than ever.   

An update from our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Clinical Officer as residents and team members begin receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

If you’re the caregiver for a senior family member, you know every detail of their health, needs, and preferences. From when they take their medications to how they like their eggs to their allergies and health conditions, you’ve got it all down to a science.

The holiday celebrations looked a lot different for most people this season.  However, something that hasn’t changed is the opportunity to welcome a new year. Because 2020 presented so many unique challenges, ranging from unprecedented political strife to a global health pandemic, many people are ready to move ahead. If you are looking for a fresh start in 2021, you aren’t alone.

An update from our Chief Operations Officer regarding holiday events and celebrations taking place across Sunrise communities, and a reminder of our new app for family communications.
