Team member MelanieMelanie Belfry–Team Member Since 2015

Executive Director

“I joined the team here at Sunrise of Rochester after serving as the administrator for a very large sub-acute nursing home with 295 residents. I felt like I didn’t get to know the residents or their families because of the quick turnaround.  When I decided to make a change, I knew I wanted to work for the most stable assisted living company out there, and Sunrise has a stellar reputation. Now, I am able to meet every family and resident and build lasting friendships. 

Outside of work, I spend time with my family. I have been married over 30 years and have three grown children and two grandchildren.”

Director of Sales

"I’ve been back just over 2 weeks and previously worked for Sunrise for 12 years. I started off doing care, and grew to sales.

My favorite part of the job is that I have the opportunity to help provide a solution to someone in need.

The best part of working at Sunrise is the connections I’ve made. The connections with residents, their families, and my team members. I’ve made lifelong friends, and have many fond memories while working at Sunrise.

I enjoy spending time with family, and going to the gym."

Team member CherylResident Care Director

"As a nurse I have always had a passion for helping others.  I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from the University of Detroit. I love to assist seniors and their families navigate the health care arena.  I always seek to support their understanding of what the best services may be for their needs.  

Working at Sunrise these past years I have enjoyed the people more than anything.  I feel fully supported by my team and know we are all working with dedication and love to support our residents.  

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, shopping for beautiful vintage items, and spending time with my husband of over 30 years and our two sons."

Sunrise of Rochester Team Member OmegaOmega Rainer–Team Member Since 2011 

Business Office Coordinator

 "I joined the Sunrise team in June 2011 and have had the privilege of serving our seniors in many different facets. I started my journey and career with Sunrise as a concierge, then coming alongside the care team as a care manager, then to overseeing the care team as the resident care coordinator for three years before joining the Rochester team in January 2017 as business office coordinator. I enjoy coming to work every day and working alongside a team who truly values and strives to provide the best care for our residents and their loved ones. 

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, our five kiddos, and family. We love to be outside, whether it’s at the lake, a baseball game or next to a camp fire."
