Review for Sunrise of Cary

Most of the staff is very nice. The place is clean and inviting. My husband was in the assisted living part with elevated skilled nursing. They charged for a lot of extras and some of the staff was not happy with the care they were supposed to provide. I had several conversations on some of the issues. It's a nice place for people who are somewhat health. I don't think the skilled nursing criteria is what they tell you it is.

Review for Sunrise of Cary

We picked them because of the fact that they were willing to accept my husband. There's a great deal of staff turnover. I understand that's ubiquitous in this type of facility, but it does affect quality of care. Some staff are excellent but stretched thin.

Happy place

My mom stayed there for two weeks as a respite care. She was very happy with their service. The room and bathroom were clean and looked homely. People who worked there were nice and friendly. They have lots of activities for the residents.

Wonderful Tour

I've had the pleasure of visiting this senior care and assisted living community, and I have to say, it's truly something special. The team here is nothing short of amazing—they genuinely care about the residents and each other, and it shows in everything they do. Recently, they held a fantastic farmers market, and it was incredible to see the joy on everyone's faces. The event was well-organized, with fresh produce, handmade goods, and a sense of community that just felt warm and inviting. Every time I visit, I'm struck by how happy and content the residents are. The atmosphere is one of positivity and kindness, making it clear that the staff go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels at home. It's a place that leaves you feeling happy and grateful, knowing that the people here are so dedicated to creating a joyful environment for their residents.

Charming and Sweet

I just moved my father in this week, they did a bang up job helping me get everything sorted during a stressful time. The young man in admissions is extremely proficient in what he does. Place is lovely, people are warm and welcoming, I'm sure my pop will be in very good hands here. Hats off to Yall.

Do not place your loved ones in this facility

Do not go here. This is not a good facility. My husband had ants in his bed and they didn't even know so I just goes to show you. They didn't really check on him too much.

My loved one is a resident at Sunrise of Cary and the overall experience has been good. The staff is nice. It's a bit pricey would be my only complaint. Based on our experience, I would recommend this facility to others.

Calming yet very active community

I recently completed a tour and was highly impressed with the level of engagement in activities I observed. They had a "Garden Party" with lovely china settings, tea, live music, hors d'oeuvres, and triangle sandwiches. Several residents and what I assume were their family members seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. When I saw the room my mother could be residing in, I was blown away by the layout and huge windows letting in bright natural light.

Found our place

We decided that the time was right for my parents to go Assisted Living and fortunately we found several facilities in our area. Most of the places we saw look nice and seem to have good care but when we went to Sunrise of Cary, we immediately noticed a higher overall standard. The building is wonderfully decorated and puts us at ease from the moment we enter the lobby. The rooms are well designed, spacious, and capture a lot of natural light (very cheery). The people living there looked happy and were joking around with the staff. When we visited, several activities were taking place, and the gym was full of people doing exercises. When you meet the activities leader and the therapy manager you can tell they are pros. The activities people are all about “resident engagement” and the therapy manager is determined to get people to move and stay moving at a high level. Very happy with the choice to come here 10/10.

Fantastic memory care!

We toured five different memory care facilities for my father-in-law but Sunrise Cary was simply the best one. The admissions director explained how intentional the care is. Each service works to engage and promote wellbeing, while at the same time ensure resident dignity. I love how the residents truly get treated holistically. The activities are tailored for people with memory deficits and stimulate each of the five senses. They didn’t have a room available just yet, but were glad to be on the waitlist.
