Sunrise of Westlake Village

I moved my 91 yr old father into Sunrise's Reminiscence (Memory) Care unit in January 2025 and couldn't be more pleased. My wife had done quite a bit of research of the best assisted/memory care facilities in our area and Sunrise made the top of her list. We checked other places out and many looked very nice. However, what stood out was how many of the caregivers had been at Sunrise for many years. The transition for my father was not easy and the staff was incredible at helping him adjust, feel welcomed and the care exceeded our expectations. Moving a parent into a commercial care facility is not an easy decision but often a necessary one. It's been 40 days since my dad moved in and the care he gets from Bina, Yo, Roxanna, Carol, Jon, Alma and others is truly incredible. My dad couldn't be in a better place and I'm grateful for the fantastic care he receives from these lovely people on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend touring Sunrise if you if that time has come for your family.

Moved our 91 yr old father to Reminiscent Care a year ago and couldn't be more pleased with the kindness and excellent care he has received. Sunrise is beautiful, food is delicious and they keep him busy. Every staff member is upbeat, friendly and communication with our family has always been top notch. We spent a long time touring and researching different Assisted Livings' to find the right fit and am so happy we moved him here.

Such a welcoming effort by the staff, and details of care for my father in law. Everything has been handled deftly in preparation for his move in and related living circumstances.

We looked to Sunrise for our mom's dementia care. The community was perfect for her but the timing was not perfect. Our family is grateful for all the information and communication over the last year. This is an incredible facility with very caring staff.

As a resident of Sunrise Westlake I feel able to give this review based on my experience of living here for over 6 months. Residents are friendly & welcoming. The staff & caregivers are attentive to residents care & well-being.There are daily events & games as well socials & entertainment on a weekly basis. The buildings & grounds are lovely with walking paths & an abundance of flowers. Our Executive Director, Edith Kennedy, has a belief in "Residents care & happiness first". Towards this goal she has as 'Open Door' policy & is always interested in listening & helping residents with their concerns. Chef Dennis & his staff are exceptional - the only problem is I've gained 5 lbs. since my arrival! Please come visit us here at Westlake Sunrise - you'd be most welcome. Peggy

I toured a number of assisted living facilities when I was looking for the right fit for my father earlier this year. I immediately got a wonderful feeling from Sunrise. Unlike all the others which were more closed off from the world, Sunrise is so bright and sunny with huge front windows and porches to welcome in the light and the outside world. It feels like a beautiful Victorian home, whereas some others feel more like a cold apartment. But more importantly of course was the warmth I felt from the staff. It was clear that they value the residents and treat them with respect and caring. That was my initial feeling but now that my dad has lived there for 6 months I can say I am even happier with the choice. I truly trust that my dad is cared for. The staff are incredibly diligent and so kind and warm with the residents. I feel very lucky to have found Sunrise for my dad.

I cannot say enough about the excellent care my parents received while at Sunrist Wetlake Village. First of all, the Executive Director, Edith, is a skilled and excellent leader, and was always caring and listened to any concerns I ever had with interest and engagement, always looking to find the best solution. The facility is quite beautiful, sunny, and always kept very clean. It smells of freshly baked cookies and fresh air. There is always some fun activity going on and the place has a feeling of warmth and home. The staff and medical team were compassionate and responsive. We were always made aware immediately of any concerns regarding my parents. The kitchen and wait staffs were patient and friendly with the residents.The receptionists were quite friendly and helpful, and I always felt warmly greeted upon my arrival. My father sadly passed away recently and my mom needed to be relocated to a situation that provided more intense and one-on-one care. When my father passed, the staff was so kind and caring with our family and stood at respectful attention as my dad was taken from the facility after his passing. When I returned over the following week to gather his posessions and clean his apartment, I felt truly sad that my time as a caretaker of my parents was over at Sunrise. These people had become like family to me and I truly miss my visits to Sunrise. I cannot recommend Sunrise Westlake Village enough. It was a place of happiness and comfort to my parents as well as to me and my extended family.

My step dad passed away of covid and taking care of my mom properly was beyond my means. My step sister mentioned looking in Sunrise Assisted living as she had had experience with one of thier San Diego locations. I went to the Westlake Village facillity and i was impressed by the staff, the rooms, activity schedules and location. So mom's in a first floor flat and what I didn't check when checking her in was the food! Sunrise invites you stay for some meals but I assumed that the 3 meals a day would be excellent. Wrong! That was back in 2022 but in early 2024 Edith Kennedy, came in as the new Executive Director. My mom really likes the food nearly every day. Also the nurses at the facillity appear to be even more helpful at rehab excercises and subsequent feedback. These significant improvements are new and I want to congraulate Edith on these changes. She is awesome and very approachable. Last if you are considering this facillity I want to share some of my moms favorites with you.... The area is safe and suitible for walking around the compound or to restaurants, markets 1/4 mile away which my passes by on her walks. I set up a 2nd set of eyes on my moms health and Dr Iqbal visits her and other residents the 2nd Monday of every month. Celebrations are easy with Finneys, Zins, Cafe Bizou, Brents Deli, the Hyatt Regency and the Four Seasons nearby. And Costco is 1 mile away. This is a very, very good facillity and be sure to check out a meal or too if you are considering ... This place

My parents are happy and well taken care of here! The staff are so kind to them and us, the family members. There are activities all day long and it’s a beautiful property. Best decision we made!
