Sunrise at Pinehurst

Just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge the transformation in my mom since she came to Sunrise at Pinehurst. She had become very isolated in the family home. After an accident we brought her to Sunrise at Pinehurst as the family home no longer could meet her needs. At first she was unhappy about the change, but the Sunrise staff was very caring and patient. The activities team began to coax her to join activities, which she was a bit reluctant to join. Now, when I call she is always on her way to art or cards even bowling. She talks about what they did today and how her picture was on the wall. It is amazing the transformation in her demeanor and attitude. Thanks to the activities director and staff she seems to be happier than she has been in years. What started as heartbreak has turned into a blessing. Thanks to the dedicated work of the staff members.

If you are looking for a great senior living community for your loved one then you really need to visit Sunrise at Pinehurst. The staff are kind, caring and very friendly. My dad had a hard time adjusting when he first arrived at Pinehurst and the staff especially the activities director Brandi went out of their way to have my dad join in for activities and making sure he met new people and was made to feel very included. My dad now loves his new home and is always telling me stories about what he’s doing and the new friends he’s made. All the staff at Pinehurst really made a difficult time for our family so much easier and we appreciate it so much! Thank you! Rachelle Heck and family

My mother has been a memory care resident here for a couple of years. While it's very difficult watching her continued decline, the care she receives on a daily basis is very comforting to her family. Her caregivers treat her (and I) with respect and dignity regardless of her mood and condition. They are quite simply an amazing team and we are so grateful for them. Several of them enjoy doting over my mom's hair. She often has elaborate braids or buns. That's a personal touch that I love. Thank you!

I visited Sunrise on Saturday afternoon just as lunch was finishing up. My visit to Sunrise started with a personal coversation about my mom and her situation, needs, and expected objections to making a move after over 20 years in her current home. The visit was very complete with a tour of all parts of the community and Alex did a great job answering all questions and letting me know what we could expect my mom's experience would be like after making a move to Sunrise.

Amazing community. Such fun staff and residents. Highly recommend taking a look at Sunrise Pinehurst!

Although our stepdad Eddie Aguirre had a short stay at Sunrise, we quickly learned what a valuable facility it was for us and Eddie. The staff is plentiful and caring to a variety of needs for many different scenarios. As we would come and go on visits, we always felt he was in good hands throughout his stay. Well done staff!

Our family had the pleasure of working with Karen Summers, a placement specialist at Aging at 5280 in Denver. We toured several facilities within a specific geographic area and ultimately let our mother choose where she would like to live. Her absolute first pick was Sunrise at Pinehurst, attracted by its comfortable and friendly atmosphere. From the start, Mom quickly made new friends and thoroughly enjoyed mealtimes as social events once again. She found a group of friends who loved playing card games, establishing a delightful routine of daily stimulation and fun. Whenever we called to check in with her, she was often too busy to talk—something that brought us immense joy! Sadly, Mom was only able to enjoy Sunrise for four months before passing. During her last days, the staff at Sunrise and Elevation Hospice were invaluable, providing safety, comfort, and keeping our family well-informed. On her final day, we all were by her side. After Mom passed, a caregiver named Desiree prayed over her and sang the most beautiful song, a moment we still talk about. To everyone at Sunrise who supported our Mom in her most vulnerable days, we extend our heartfelt thanks: Angela, Sandy, Kate, Teddy, Desiree, Michelle, Emily, Tori, Riley, Sam, and all those who played a part—you know who you are!

The administration and care team at Pinehurst are above par. My mom feels at home and I am comfortable knowing that she is happy.

This place is fabulous. We had to find a safe place for parents as it was not safe for them to be at home anymore. Realizing Mom would need memory care, and it was important to dad for them to stay together, we chose Sunrise in 2023. The staff are all very, very caring and communicated with us often. They kept us informed on things they were seeing and anything we needed to bring in. They handled all the DR’s and medications. Addressed any questions we had in a timely manner. We would like to specifically thank Sam, Cindy, Angela, Rochelle, Victoria, Viola, Rose, Mariah, Maggie, Naomi and all the staff in Memory care. (sorry if I spelled your names wrong) You are very compassionate and truly care about the people that are there. Choosing a place like this is never easy but you were helpful and with us all the way. We could not recommend Sunrise at Pinehurst more. Thank you for everything!!!!!

The caretakers in the memory care section are really great. They treat the residents with amazing kindness, love and respect.

I recently toured the facilities for my grandmother and was very impressed! I loved seeing all the residents involved in activities and how involved the activities director is on a daily basis. My grandmother will be so impressed and so excited to tour herself!

My step-dad was in hospice care at Sunrise at Pinehurst and it was an excellent choice. The staff is caring, gentle and sincerely interested in the welfare of the resident. The meals were appetizing and tasty. It’s a nice, clean facility, also! Everyone there is very kind and thoughtful! Thank you for caring for him so well, during the final days of his life.

The staff have somehow found success getting our very reclusive family member to participate in facility activities on campus and with community outing. The helped her transition to memory care in a relatively seamless fashion.

Generally, I am very pleased with my life at Pinehurst. Because I don't need much help, I seldom "push my button". I encounter problems, however, in communicating a request to have a meal delivered to my room if I can't go to the dining room. I would like to have a better defined and reliable means of asking the staff to bring my meal to my room when I need it.

UPDATE: The staff seemed to be more friendly as time went on. The activities director and the director were very good at communicating in my Uncle's later time there. They threw a party for his 100th birthday. There were several employees who seemed very sad when he died. I didn't realized they cared about him so much. Several of them came to his funeral, which I thought was very kind. I have changed my rating to 4 instead of 2 stars. ______________________________ Expensive compared to other places nearby. Family member here for just over two years. Some problems during the first six months or so, that have gotten better. (For example: Bed wasn't being made and room wasn't cleaned with the schedule we were told they were.) Clothes still go missing. Also, I have been extremely disappointed that they don't honor veterans. All veterans deserve recognition but I feel like a WWII vet is a big deal. They are dying off fast. There's only a short amount of time to honor them WHILE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE or still alert enough to appreciate it. The place he lived previously made a big deal for the veterans. It was very special for him. Maybe this bothers me because he has no children, and very limited family. I just think WWII vets are a big deal and we should make Veterans Day a big deal for them.
