Sunrise at Hunter Mill

Everyone is genuinely happy to help and they make you feel comfortable. The facility is alive with activity and they always have something going on that you can participate in!

After visiting a half dozen senior living communities in the area for a first time respite stay for my wife, we chose the Sunrise community at Hunter Mill. There were many positives that led us there - good location for our needs, a lovely community inside and out, mature trees and a forest feeling upon arrival, and a recently renovated interior that gave you the feeling of walking into a five-star hotel. While this was our first experience at staying in any senior living facility, we felt the staff to be most impressive, showing a genuine desire to first know every resident and to understand their needs, then to provide them the greatest care and concern than could possibly be imagined. Again, we were greatly impressed and thankful for the service they provided, and we will clearly return here for our needs in the future.

Sunrise of Hunter Mill in Oakton, VA is the best assisted living accommodation our independent 88-year-old aunt could get, after she was treated at a skilled nursing facility and required additional physical therapy services late last year. From the moment the Director of Sales invited me to tour this location and have a look at its available bedrooms, to my initial introduction to Hazel, Head of the Care Team, and ultimately the warm welcome of Executive Director Isha, Sunrise of Hunter Mill has proven to be the perfectly safe and happy place for my aunt. It is also fully staffed with highly qualified, professional and friendly personnel who always make us feel very welcome as part of the Sunrise family. My aunt is truly lucky to have very kind and caring persons around her who attend to her every need 24/7, 7 days a week. The premises at this location are always nice and clean, full-course meals and snacks are regularly served, and a daily list of activities is posted in the lobby for ease of recall and voluntary participation by residents, family members and guests. A monthly calendar of events and activities are also provided electronically in advance. As family members who live more than 600 miles out of state, we are always concerned about my aunt's safety and well-being when she used to live alone and started having difficulty maintaining her own house. At Sunrise, we are always informed by the Care Team and in-house nurses of her whereabouts, especially by Hazel, Maggie, Anne, Sumi, Janet, Adama, Angelica, Manisha and Jean, her main physical therapist. I also sometimes directly receive photos and videos of her enjoying her stay, as well as formal communication of her monthly overall health, medication and wellness progress. We likewise truly appreciate the consistent updates through the Sunrise Smile portal, with anecdotal and individualized memorable messages by Emilie, of the many activities my aunt and other residents enjoy, including vivid photos and encouraging videos diligently posted by others -- Hazel, Isha, Miguelita, Amelie, Adama, Jonathan and Chef Mario, to name a few. What appeared to be a temporary facility arrangement, while she was recovering from a bad fall at her own house, has become my aunt's longer-term home for the past seven months. It now feels like her primary home as she's always eager to go back to Sunrise when we've taken some time enjoying the outdoors or simply spending the entire day outside the facility when we visit her. For others who may be in a similar situation with their loved ones, I would recommend taking that first step of touring this particular location at Sunrise of Hunter Mill, as an alternative. Sending my heartfelt thanks to the entire Sunrise Family for taking very good care of my aunt day in, day out for the last seven months -- my aunt is safe, healthy and happy in her current home! ***Update after one year of residence at Sunrise of Hunter Mill on 11/24/24: We are so lucky to have a place my aunt can call her home now! Her health, safety and overall well-being are addressed at all times in a timely manner by professional, kind, friendly and happy staff and managers. She always looks forward to our visits and has only good words about her overall day-to-day living at Sunrise when we ask how she is doing at her new home. When we take her out for day trips and longer travels that are more than a week, she is always looking forward to coming back to her own bedroom at Sunrise. To us, this is a sure indication of how she also considers it her permanent address going forward. Thank you so much to the capable and welcoming smiling faces of Isha, Hazel, Maggie, Anne, Sumit, Jonathan, Janet and all the caring staff at Sunrise! Our aunt is lucky to be taken care of by all of you!

The staff at Sunrise Hunter Mill are incredibly caring and helpful. My sister is in the memory care unit and they have made this transition so much easier and are able to put her at ease as well. I highly recommend Sunrise Hunter Mill and their caring staff.

We are so happy with the care mom is receiving in the memory care unit at Sunrise at Hunter Mill. The management, caregivers, nurses and staff that care for her are kind, patient, respectful and compassionate. We visit mom often and see she feels safe and comfortable. During mom’s first few weeks at Sunrise, the staff created a detailed, personalized care plan to help her transition into her new home away from home. We received daily updates, and they welcomed our questions and answered them fully. After three months, mom is doing so well. The staff’s commitment to creating a supportive and nurturing environment is evident in mom’s happiness. She enjoys seeing all the staff and being social with the other residents. Knowing she is receiving such good care from the kind and loving staff gives us peace of mind. We are so grateful to all the management and staff for the love and dedication they bring to their work every day.
