Assisted Living, Memory Care

"My experience with Sunrise is that it’s a corporation. Corporations try to maximize profit. How do they do this? Well, salespeople blatantly lie and/or leave out facts. For example, you might be told there is a 10 mile radius that a driver will take you to. What they don’t tell you is that the driver is barely there. Monday-Thursday until 4pm only. Sure, that helps some folks, but certainly doesn’t help all residents. Then there’s the food situation. Just about every resident complains about the food. Food quality has declined significantly since it first opened, as has the service. The food is warm, almost never hot. If you want more, sorry, but that’s another entree so you can’t have that. Good help is hard to come by and either Sunrise doesn’t value their help, or they don’t have the budget to keep good help. Management needs to step back and reevaluate the situation. They are heading down a path that will leave them with an empty building. Beautiful community though." - Honest…

"Selected the Residence at Sunmer Street for my father’s assisted living. In 1 year, they increased his bill by over 50%. Bait & Switch tactics. They promised reasonable us reasonable increases yet here we are thousands more a month vs a year ago. In fact, they said that was what the other guys would do. Well guess what, it’s exactly what the Residence at Summer Street did and continues to do. Then random charges, that we were told were part of the Huge expense were added to the bill (laundry, medicine when he already gets presorted blister packs from pharmacy). Sadly, we wanted a long term care solution but they’ve effectively far exceeded our insurance and are quickly depleting our savings. We’re now searching for a better solution. FYI - prices on site are below what we’re being charged." - Aaron…
