Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue

After two years with sunrise, I am still amazed by the quality of care that my mother receives here. Sunrise establishes a personal relationship with all of the residents here and provide top-notch care with a personal touch. And they are quite attentive to all of the personal needs of their residence. They provide a home like atmosphere for all of residents and their families as well. The activities and the food that they provide is excellent, all of the staff go the extra mile to provide the very best for the residents here at sunrise. Conrad W Smith

Many stars are on staff at Sunrise. For us, Doris, who oversees caregivers, is especially shining. She is a pro-active trouble shooter who pays close attention to the individual needs of each resident. She has an endless reservoir of skills, grace and patience, listens astutely and literally rolls up her sleeves to quickly address any and every issue. Other special blessings she brings to her role are her a sense of humor and joyful demeanor. Moreover, she trains and leads a remarkable team. We are grateful for what Doris adds at Sunrise - the high standard to strive to always go the extra mile…

This is a beautiful community with wonderful caring people caring for the residents. I love the Friday Happy hours in the Bistro with live music. Everyone always has a wonderful time and the staff gets everyone dancing and fun time is had by all!

Our mom has been at Sunrise on Connecticut since April 2023. She has acute dementia so is on the 3rd floor (memory care unit). The director of that unit, Ruth, and the staff are FANTASTIC. Kind, loving, joyful. They create an environment of warmth and safety for the residents of that unit. I live close and randomly pop by to visit. I am thankful we found Sunrise on Connecticut and that we are able to afford it.

Staff is friendly and helpful. The staff they have seem to want to genuinely help. They're responsive too if you have an inquiry. Facility is clean and lacks odors that would imply otherwise. Typically has parking out front, but otherwise neighborhood parking (for visits). Sunrise is great in an emergency (case for my dad who was down bad) and for elderly who suffer from later stages of ailments. It is an assisted living facility, after all. If the individual in question requires minimal care, but still needing prompting for example or help with weekly pills, Sunrise may end up feeling strange to them. Depending on necessary care level, id urge to consider a place offering both assisted living and independent living. Sunrise shines as a place to be when there's no going back or in an emergency when things are unclear.

My family is very lucky that we found Sunrise on Connecticut for our parents. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Their attentiveness, humor, and patience with the residents creates a warm and secure environment. The staff members have an incredible ability to really connect with residents from all backgrounds. Their experience with residents living with cognitive and physical challenges is broad and deep enabling them to respond nimbly to developments that are, inevitably, ever-changing. We are so thankful to everyone at Sunrise.

I am always impressed by (and grateful for) the professionalism, attentiveness, and warmth shown by the staff, and I especially appreciate the care they take to maintain a comfortable, cheerful, and safe environment for my mom.

I would give each category a 5 with 2 notations- *Activities -my husband doesn't participate in the scheduled activities but I have observed them and they are appropriate and varied and seem to reach the residents . *Value for the money is a hard one because it is expensive; although in comparison with other places I've looked at, the costs seem to be equally high everywhere. We have been very satisfied with Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue and would not consider any other placement.
