We believe some of the nicest people we know show up on the 3rd floor at Sunrise daily to enhance life for 25 or so people with dementia problems. A recent series of events brought home more good reasons for being here. For a few years I have been ferrying my AD afflicted wife to her Primary care Provider and her Neurologist/Psychiatrist. At different and fine institutions but seemingly always understaffed. Standing in line, waiting and dealing with Medicare paperwork with an AD impaired person can be tedious. Also, she has frequent bouts of bronchitis, five or more times/year, for which our only known successful treatment is a burst of Prednisone, a six day process that requires a provider visit before it can be prescribed. We just completed isolation due to Covid 19. Since the onset of Covid my greatest fear was that my wife would not do well with a further attack on her respiratory system. On the Monday before we were diagnosed with Covid, Bronchitis came to her. Late Monday I called the Sunset Provider, he answered the call himself and said he would see her Tuesday AM. At our rooms. He did. He prescribed the Prednisone. It was delivered to the Sunrise med-Tech and administered that day. Whatever paperwork may have been required was done by Sunset staff. We both tested positive for Covid on that Friday and my wife came through it without a cough. Later when the Provider examined her, in her room no less, he pronounced her cough and wheeze free. He and I agreed that the speedy treatment for bronchitis likely saved her from the usual serious attack on the respiratory system by Covid. By having access to all these medical services in house, a possible disastrous medical nightmare was averted . Thank You. You run a tight ship. David Rollins

My mother-in-law has been at Sunrise at River Rd for over 1 year! We looked at 2 other Senior Living Facilities in Tucson and by far Sunrise was at the top of our list! It has the MOST home-like atmosphere, it is beautifully & professionally decorated for each season of the year & the staff is very friendly, helpful & CARING, which meant the most to us! Several of the residents readily shared with us how much they enjoyed living at Sunrise! We saw LOTS of smiles on the resident’s faces, which we did NOT see at other 2 places we toured! We are very happy we chose Sunrise for so many reasons: 1) Sunrise’s staff goes above and beyond the call of duty to support their residents & their families! They treat their residents and the resident’s families with dignity and respect and are easily approachable for questions or concerns. 2) We found out that Sunrise follows the Norwegian model for senior living which is quite different from the American model. That difference was very apparent when we toured Sunrise & when we read Sunrise’s website, the Norwegian model was explained! That became another major reason we chose Sunrise @ River Rd. 3) There are various activities that are listed on a daily calendar for residents from walking groups, in-house concerts, in- house movies, games like Scramble that keep senior’s minds active and of course bingo games plus a lot more! 3) There are also many activities that go on outside of Sunrise like trips to the movies, trips to places of interest like Desert Museum, shopping trips and going out to eat at restaurants! My mo-in-law loves those trips!! 3) There is a menu choice with meals so the resident is able to pick which meal they would like plus the desserts are to die for! On special occasions, there is a brunch menu that is exceptionally delicious and family members can join their loved one for those meals in main dining room! We are happy & feel very blessed that we found AND chose Sunrise and so is my mo-in-law! It was the right choice for ALL of us!
