Positive experience

I've found the staff always willing to assist my friend there. I've never observed a frown from them when asked to help with bathing or cleaning the room. They interact with all patients and know their names. The dining room staff knows everyone by name and will readily assist with feeding someone when needed. The nurses are always available to listen to family and patients. I have found them to be very knowledgeable about my friends issues and able to help me cope with and understand those issues. They always take time to talk to me. Food is very good and they offer excellent choices for every meal. They post activities every day and have a varied assortment. They also print a monthly schedule of the activities that loved ones can take. They frequently transport their charges on outings to restaurants and shopping.

Our family's experience

[name removed] went to the memory care unit for severe dementia. Within 2 weeks the facility called 911 and had her taken to the emergency room for misbehavior. They promised me they would be able to care for her and had staff to get her on meds to calm her down. They have a tough job - they just shouldn't have promised me the world. [name removed] now lives at home with me and I take care of her. I thank God everyday for our lives and being together.

It is too expensive for what you get overall. They need a more diverse food menu. They do not have any activities.

Sunrise of Annapolis is so expensive. Transportation is only provided on Wednesdays for doctor's appointments. This has been a big added expense. I do overall recommend it.

Review for Sunrise of Annapolis

We decided on them because of the price and for the price the care was adequate. The staff was lovely and caring but they jacked up the price 2x the first year significantly and the next time they raised the price we left. At that point they were really dropping the ball on laundry and cleaning and my mom was sleeping more than ever.

Our experience at Sunrise of Annapolis

They were better equipped to handle more mobile patients. The staff turnover rate seemed high. The older aides were very compassionate; however, the young hires were not. The people doing the activities with the residents were very hands on. Residents were enjoying themselves and having fun.

A family within a family.

I liked the look of the facility. I also spoke with some residents that were sitting outside and asked how they liked it. They all said it was wonderful and they thought mom would fit right in. I definitely loved it there.

The staff is amazing to my mom. It has a very homey feel. My mom loves all the activities and being around people after living alone for many years. Her favorite activities are BINGO and working out.

Review for Sunrise of Annapolis

We picked this community because of the friendly staff. Facility was clean. It only the last few weeks that I noticed the change. House keeping needs to be improved. My family members room and bathroom hasn't been cleaned in a couple of weeks. Everything else is great.

A caring place for your loved one

My loved one was a resident at Sunrise of Annapolis. Everything was great at this facility. The care that they gave my loved one, friendliness, consideration of his medical and mental well being needs were all top notch. They were also very considerate of my loved one's family that visited. We very much appreciated Sunrise of Annapolis. They were fabulous! I would highly recommend them to family and friends.

My friend is a current resident at Sunrise of Annapolis. She seems happy and well nourished at this facility. Before coming to Sunrise, she had gotten very thin. So far, this facility seems clean and welcoming.

My Tour Experience at Sunrise of Annapolis

This was a nice community. The community was dated community and it would be nice to see this updated in the bathrooms to make them walk-in showers for the residents. It was also too expensive for us.

nice community

In the beginning the cleanliness of the community was a little rocky but once they stepped up and fixed the issue it got much better. The location is very convenient for some of the family, it has been great for them when they want to visit. Based on the experience we have had so far we would recommend Sunrise of Annapolis to other families.

More of An Assisted Living Than Memory Care

I believe Sunrise is too intuitional. This community is more equipped for assisted living than a memory care community. I was able to visit my loved one often, and saw things that I was appalled at. The food isn't very good at all. The community told the family that a certain food was available anytime between 7 am to 7 pm, and then the residents would have to beg for it. There were some caregivers that were good; however, I don't feel they give enough individualized care to the residents in memory care. They were short staffed a lot during the time my loved one was here. I saw a typical resident to staff ratio of 10 to 1. There were a lot of agency staff that would come in to assist. We ended up moving my loved one out of the community, after raising the fees and the poor care service we received. Overall I was frustrated, angry, and sad that I had to leave my loved one in the community. The management team finally heard me on my concerns and took care of these concerns after several conversations. The food left a lot to be desired. There were sandwiches that were served with no mustard or mayonnaise. Also, the soup was cold and mostly milk with vegetables.

The best of imperfect solutions

I think it's great; they are taking great care of my loved one. I'm very, very pleased. I've had to downgrade on a few of the services, but like all other facilities they are having trouble getting staff. Understandably, when there aren't enough people some things don't happen as quickly as you'd wish. If you only have three caregivers when you really need four to five, it can take a little longer when a resident rings their bell for assistance. It's not unique to Sunrise, but they are doing the best they can. I've certainly been very, very pleased with the medical care my loved one is receiving.
