Living Options & Services
Perso
nalized Care for Every Individual
In communities of approximately 70 to 100 residents Sunrise offers personalized care for
each resident. Choice is essential. Residents choose every aspect of their care from when
they wake up to what they eat and the activities they enjoy. We talk with residents,
family and friends to get to know their likes, dislikes, daily schedules and hobbies, and
from this information we create an individualized service plan that helps a resident
become comfortable with his or her new home.
This innovative approach to senior care is designed to maintain
independence and dignity, yet is balanced with the comfort and security that comes from
knowing experienced help is close at hand.
Independence Is Encouraged
Independence is so often taken away from seniors in more traditional senior care
environments. At Sunrise, we encourage residents to challenge themselves while offering
the assistance they need. In this manner, residents are encouraged to maintain their
independence for as long as possible.
Individual Yet Comprehensive Care Choices
Care at Sunrise supports each resident with individualized levels of service. This can
include:
- Personal assistance with bathing, dressing, personal
hygiene, and medication monitoring.
- A wellness program of regular visits by the on-staff
nurses.
- Monitoring of diet and exercise, adapting them to meet
each resident's needs and desires.
- Housekeeping and linen services and personal laundry
service.
- Recreational, educational, spiritual and social
activities and assistance with transportation to shopping and community services.
- Regular community visits by health care professionals,
which could include dentists, podiatrists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other
clinicians.

Privacy Is Paramount
Residents maintain the same privacy in their new Sunrise home as they enjoyed in their
own home. We interact frequently with residents, but are always respectful and never
intrusive.
Help From Friends and Family
We encourage family and friends to be involved, to visit frequently, and to invite
residents on outings to community events. The Willing Hearts Program encourages family
volunteers to participate in the daily activities of our communities.
