Sunrise of West Essex is one of the best senior living facilities out there! My dad's time spent there was exceptional! He was a high level of care and always got the care that he needed from the staff at Sunrise of West Essex. My mom will need to go into memory care in the near future and after looking at several other facilities, she too will be at Sunrise of West Essex. Their price point is high, but so is their care level, and they have an exceptional staff.

My husband and I toured the facility on behalf of my mother. Everything from the moment we walked in until the moment we left was above anything we expected. The staff was incredibly friendly, the resident seem very happy, it was clean, safe, cozy and warm. The varieties of housing options as well as the daily menu are exceptional. The activities an overall environment meet Mom’s needs. Not to mention the fresh warm, peach pie! What are 5-star experience! Needless to say, we brought Mom back the next day and she loved it!!

The Sunrise of West Essex in all categories I would rate a 5. My sister is well cared for, staff is great. When I'm there & leave I never have to worry because I know my sister is well cared for.

Even before my Dear Sister had the stroke she could be difficult at times. The staff gives be a weekly report and phones me if there are any concerns, they say she is adjusting well. BTW I used 3 sources to check out Sunrise they all gave me a positive review. The staff was very professional and answered all of my questions. The premises upon entering gives one a welcoming and home like appearance. Other facilities looked too dull, institutional and drab.

I really like this place The facility is beautiful and the care is excellent They do hire a young woman to come in for activities and she is excellent but only 2days a week The healthcare workers do activities with them but I wish there were more but this seems to be the case for all of these facilities This place is very pricey We now pay around $[removed] a month but the care is excellent and we have no other choice [community removed], which I thought was a poorly run facility, could not handle my mother's anxiety and required us to hire a one on one. We thought this was outrageous.

Overall Sunrise West Essex is a solid place and a good notch above most places in the area for the money. They could use fresher ingredients on the food... maybe incorporate farm to table from local farmer's markets.
