"I have been a nurse for 7 years and I love getting to serve our residents! Every day the residents teach me something new as I continue to grow with Sunrise Senior Living!

Charity Paynter—16 years of service

Reminiscence Coordinator

“I have worked for Sunrise Senior Living for more than 10 years.  I served as a Designated Care Manager and a Lead Care Manager for 10 years, and was recently promoted to the Reminiscence Coordinator position.  

I have cared for my grandmother who has Alzheimer’s dementia, so I know first-hand how this disease can affect any family.  My favorite thing about working with the residents in our Reminiscence Neighborhood is that each day is a brand new beginning.  

My husband and I have two girls and one boy, and we love going to Florida and spending time with our family.”
