Sara Weininger

Executive Director

“I have been in senior care for the past 17 years. I started as a night shift caregiver while I was attending nursing school, and was happy to join Sunrise of Sacramento in 2013, where I now serve as associate executive director.

Coming into our community lights up my day. My Sunrise team shows me love each day, and we share so many laughs. This attitude helps us to positively impact the lives of our seniors.

In my free time, I enjoy attending sporting events with my son, baking with my daughter, and reading to my youngest boy.”

Cleta Shelton

Activities and Volunteer Coordinator

“I joined Sunrise of Sacramento in 2004 as the activities and volunteer coordinator. I love working here because Sunrise allows me to be myself. I’m a people person, and working at Sunrise lets me to come into work and have fun with the residents every day.

Ever since I started, it’s been obvious that Sunrise is a company that really cares about their team. They always go above and beyond to ensure we’re taken care of so that we can take care of our residents in return. 

I am very involved in my church in my spare time. I sing as a soloist, participate in church choir, provide ministry to married couples, and teach the women’s Sunday school class. Spending time with my grandchildren is the highlight of my week.”
