Sunrise at Canyon Crest

My in-laws have both moved to Sunrise at Canyon Crest over the past 15 months. Both are receiving excellent care, one in memory care and the other in assisted living. The truly special thing about Sunrise at Canyon Crest is the staff. They really see m to enjoy their work with the residents. We’ve worked directly with Tiara to address our parents’ needs. She has been amazing to work with. Really goes above and beyond in building relationships and working with us to find solutions to challenges, especially with my mother-in-law who was very challenging as she was adapting to living in a memory care facility. We feel confident our parents are genuinely cared for. Sunrise has lifted a great weight of worry from my husband and I. We are truly grateful!!!

In the beginning of April my wife and moved my Mom to Sunrise from another care giver here in Riverside. Our customer experience with Sunrise has been exceptional. The initial sales appointment was thorough and answered all of our questions. The care giving team is joyful, proactive and always looking for ways to assist my mom and meet her needs. Thanks so much. Mike and Janice Bishop

I would like to offer my assessment of Sunrise Senior Living here in Riverside. I speak with a good amount of experience since over the years Sunrise has provided care to, not one, not two, but three of my family members: father, mother and sister. The first was my father, who was admitted shortly after suffering a TIA. When Amy came out to the skilled nursing facility where he was recovering to interview him, he was understandably apprehensive but her professional presentation helped calm his fears. The registration and orientation process with Mary went smoothly and all our questions were addressed clearly. On his arrival at Sunrise, he was greeted at the door by three of the most compassionate caregivers you could imagine, and they patiently helped my father transition to his new accommodations. Throughout his stay, approximately one year till his passing, he was always afforded the attention he needed. I recall on one occasion when he needed a meeting with a couple of his old business associates, Sunrise reserved a private room for their use, complete with refreshments. It was a small gesture of respect but one that was appreciated. The scheduled physical activities sessions were great and my participation was encouraged. On the night my father suddenly took a turn for the worse and was taken to the hospital for the last time, the staff on duty helped me through the decision to call 911. In the case of my mother, she actually had two stays, once when she was recovering from a broken wrist after a fall at home and secondly when she was recovering from two shattered legs suffered due to negligence at, of all places, a skilled nursing facility here in Riverside, from which she never recovered. During her relatively short stay till her passing, Sunrise provided the upgraded level of care she required. In the case of my sister, she too was admitted to Sunrise, around the same time as my mother, for her own health issues which resulted in her passing 14 months after her mother. In fact, for a while, Sunrise accommodated both mother and sister in the same room at my request. The nurses on site always afforded my sister with an extra level of care, especially since she suffered from Multiple Sclerosis and other comorbidities. As with my parents, they were always available to me for consultations and recommendations. In addition, since my sister had frequent need of off-site medical appointments, the caregivers were always ready to aid in her preparation prior to her transport. Many of the same caregivers, nurses and staff who had worked with my father during his stay and were still there a few years later and so felt a certain special bond with my mother and sister as well. To this day I still maintain contact with some of them. The staff at Sunrise had always provided exemplary support for my family at critical times for which I am forever grateful. It’s hard to imagine how I could have managed without them.

The best assisted-living home ever. My family and I will always be grateful for the care, patience, and humor with which Sunrise's nurses, caregivers, and administrators cared for my father in his last years.

The food is great, our loved one has gained weight. It's a warm, homey feeling when you enter. Other Assisted Living facilities I didn't get that. Yes, I would recommend Sunrise of Canyon Crest to other families

My mother spent several years living here. They kept her safe during Covid, treated her with care and attended to her like she was part of the family. Thank you for all you do!

My Aunt was moved into Sunrise of Canyon Crest last week and I was immediately greeted by a wonderful staff. Everyone made you feel like you were a part of their Sunrise family. They were there for every question and concern. They reach out with updates often. They are very patient and caring with my Aunt. I am thankful that she has such a great support system around her. Thank you all!

My mom is almost 101. She gets excellent care and understanding. The food is very good and my mom gained a healthy weight after being here for a year. She likes the caregivers and feels they are her family.

Mom has been at Sunrise Canyon Crest for 6 years now. I can not tell you how much it means to me and my siblings that she is at a facility that really cares for her. From the maintenance staff all the way to Heather, the executive director, everyone knows my Mom by name and are really good to her. If there are issues, they are communicated to me in a professional and caring manner. If I have issues, they are resolved quickly and without question. The Wellness Team is especially good at making sure Mom gets all her medication and if they suspect a medical issue, they are quick to call, so I can make arrangements with her Doctor. The day to day care staff are amazing, especially lately that my Mom's memory and demeanor is challenging. They are so patient and easy going, but firm with her. I could never provide this level of care and compassion on my own. For those of you reading the negative reviews, please note that they are over 5 years old. Is Sunrise a bit pricey? Yes, but it's worth every penny.

Dear Amy and Sunrise Staff, As I sit down to reflect on the journey of relocating my parents to Sunrise at Canyon Crest, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude that I simply must share with you. From the very first moment we connected, your dedication and professionalism shone through. You spent countless hours helping me navigate this significant transition, all while I was miles away in Louisiana. Your unwavering commitment to my parents’ well-being and happiness made an enormous difference, and I can’t thank you enough for that. Your personal touch added warmth to every interaction you had with my parents. It was evident that you genuinely cared about them, treating them not just as clients but as family. I had never encountered anyone with such a profound sense of dedication—your support made me feel as if I had a family member by my side throughout this process. It was comforting to know that my parents were in such capable and compassionate hands. I also want to extend my gratitude to Jasmine, whose professional support complemented your efforts perfectly. She was always there to walk me through any questions I had and provided reassurance when you weren’t available. Together, you both created a seamless and supportive experience for my family. I can now hear my dad laughing and joking again, and my mom’s tears of joy speak volumes about the positive change this move has brought to their lives. They are thriving—enjoying the myriad of activities, savoring the gourmet meals, and receiving the attentive care that they deserve. It fills my heart with joy to see them so happy and engaged. Sunrise at Canyon Crest is truly one of the finest places for assisted living. Your insights and belief that this community was the right fit for them were spot on. I am so relieved and grateful that you didn’t stop until they were comfortably settled into their new home. Amy, a simple thank you doesn’t quite capture the depth of my appreciation for everything you have done. You have made a profound impact on our lives, and I will forever be grateful for your support and compassion. All is well with my soul, and that is largely due to you and the incredible team at Sunrise. Thank you once again for everything! Warmest regards, Jennifer Hanson Gomez

My aunt was blessed to reside at Sunrise @ Canyon Crest from Feb 2021 until her passing in January 2025. What a wonderful experience it was for both her as a resident and us as family members. I can't express enough thanks to ALL staff members at Canyon Crest for the love and care they provided to my aunt during her time there. I knew she was comfortable and safe at all times. She enjoyed the activities, food, and most of all friendships she made there. I highly recommend this assisted living facility as a place for your loved one to reside. Trust that they will be in excellent hands while there!

The community is vibrant and full of life, offering a variety of programs that cater to different interests and abilities. From arts and crafts to music therapy and gardening, there’s something for everyone. The residents have formed strong friendships, and it’s heartwarming to see them support and uplift each other. Furthermore, the dining experience is exceptional. The meals are not only nutritious but also delicious, with options that change daily to keep things interesting. My mom has discovered a newfound love for teaching a yoga class as well, which has helped her maintain her independence and creativity. The wellness programs are also impressive, focusing on both physical and mental health. The fitness classes are tailored for seniors, ensuring that everyone can participate at their own pace. Plus, the staff regularly organizes outings and excursions that allow residents to explore the local area and engage with the community. I feel incredibly grateful for the peace of mind that Sunrise provides. Knowing that my mom is in such a supportive and enriching environment has made a world of difference for both of us. I can finally enjoy quality time with her without the stress of caregiving weighing me down. It truly feels like a family here, and I couldn't ask for a better place for my mom to thrive.

My sister received outstanding care at Sunrise. The staff went above and beyond in their attention and care. As I lived across the country and she would not travel, I felt comfortable in how my sister was treated. The Bristol Hospice also contributed to the positive experience at this facility. No complaints.

The activities at Sunrise are particularly well organized... My Mom is in memory care and honestly was never a big participator in activities but I think it really helps her to be included in what they do. Jakina, Crystal, and Jocelyn are so sweet and caring; always encouraging my Mom to do crafts with them, help with seasonal/holiday projects, dress up for birthdays/holidays, etc. They take the memory care residents out to different places for lunch on a regular basis and it undoubtably helps them to feel like they're getting new experiences, which is important for their well-being. My fam and I are truly grateful that they take such great care to make sure the residents are mentally stimulated and getting much needed interaction and experiences beyond the basics!
