Great Assisted Living experience
The staff has been kind and understand his special needs and insecurities. Excellent activities throughout the day. My husband is social and many other members of the community are as well so he is able to have conversations and develop friendships, which was difficult to find in other communities we looked at.

This place was horrible. My loved one was put on a high dosage of narcotics w/o my knowledge or consent. He was constantly in dirty clothes & his bedroom & bathroom were filthy. The management staff lied to me on many occasions. Couldn't wait to get him out of there.

The staff at Sunrise didn’t seem to know my sister was dying. Waits over 30 minutes after button was pushed for help multiple times, brought full meals after we ordered soft foods she could swallow. The AC in her room flooded and the carpet was damp during her entire stay. Intake was delayed a day because meds couldn’t be procured but weren’t there when she arrived or for another 24 hours. Multiple billing errors were made and I am still getting a bill to comply with the “30 day notice” even though we were told it was waived because she was in hospice. We met with the executive director and her staff and they were receptive to our criticism. They indicated this was not typical for Sunrise but they would take appropriate steps to educate staff and ensure a better experience for future hospice patients. Caveat emptor.

Sunrise in Decatur is close to where I live which turned out to be a must. My dad’s Parkinson’s had advanced and we realized his condition was more than we could manage. The apartment we decided on is enough space for both my parents. The adjustment has been bumpy. The staff have listened to my mom’s concerns and questions. The food is really good but my dad’s puréed diet has been just ok. The ambiance of the facility is very nice. The staff have been attentive and helpful though they do seem understaffed some weekends. I would recommend for a family to look at Sunrise but every families’ needs are different.

We were in search of a facility that provides Memory Care/Assisted living services for our Mother. She has been struggling with mobility and is in need of physical therapy. To be honest; We were unsure that we would find a facility that could address all of her dietary and medical concerns. I was able to schedule a tour with [name removed] on the same day that I initially called. Walking into Sunrise felt like entering a Retreat resort. This facility has everything!!!!!! Quite frankly we should have looked into care at this facility 18 months ago.

Staff was caring and concerned. However, my father-in-law was bed-bound and it was difficult for him to get as much attention as he needed. Tough situation since it would have been impossible for someone to be with him at all times. The string on his call light in his room was never working properly so he couldn't get help when he needed it. When staff did arrive, they were very kind and helpful.

What they could improve on at Sunrise would be to have more outside activities, get them out of the building. The staff is friendly, and we would maybe recommend the community to other families. They are most of the time short staffed, but other that no..

I want to thank Sunrise and 2 people most of all who have taken care of my parents in the memory care level on the 4th floor. [name removed] has gone above and beyond in helping my mom who has dementia, multiple sclerosis, and in a wheel chair. She has treated my mom like it was her own family member and we can't thank her enough for the outstanding job she is doing. The second person is [name removed] who took wonderful care of my dad while he was with us. He passed away 3 months ago, but while he was living at Sunrise, [name removed] did everything she could to make him happy and comfortable. She too went way above and beyond my expectations, and it was very much appreciated by my wife and I. This is an extremely hard and demanding job and they both do it so well while always having a smile on the there face. We can't say enough good and positive things about [name removed]and [name removed]. Thank you both so very much for making us feel relieved to know that they are in such good hands in this very difficult time.

My mom had no issues with the staff personally, who were always pleasant and friendly, but there was always the sense that they were severely understaffed and disorganized. Often inattentive or very slow to respond to maintenance needs. Food often barely edible. Activities almost nonexistent but mostly due to lack of participation as most of the residents were very limited mentally and physically. Most of the conversations with other residents revolved around complaints. One big learning experience is that we should not have put her in a facility that also housed memory care patients.

Staff are caring, respectful, helpful, and friendly. The food is good, but not worth the price for a guest. The menu is rarely accurate. If I call and leave a particular staff member a message. I would say I get a response back 20% of the time. You have to keep calling back or find another way to connect with that staff member and even that can be difficult. Rarely do all the activities on the calendar happen. They are probably more expensive than they need to be. Sunrise could use some improvements to make it better, but I think we are really lucky to have found this facility. My priorities are theirs and that is the most important thing!

Our experience at Sunrise of Decatur has been excellent. The staff is cheerful and thoughtful. There are lots of activities that residents can enjoy daily. Staff is wonderful about encouraging social events and walks on the grounds. The medication techs are on top of our complicated medication regimen as well. There is even a sweet house dog that enjoys pets and treats. 842-2615

It is friendly and clean and pleasant and I feel my mom is safe there. But food is quite poor, very inconsistent; often poor service. I worry that my mom is losing weight. She has a microwave and refrigerator in her room she sometimes uses. We spend a good bit on snacks for her to keep in her fridge to take the place of meals. Staff is nice and friendly but they are woefully short staffed and very slow to attend to needs such as broken air conditioner or trash removal. Activities are very limited and often there is no one to lead them. My mom is still mentally sharp but most of residents are not and she has trouble finding stimulation. The management has been receptive to hearing complaints and think they try. But my family is growing increasingly concerned about what we are spending and fear her money could dry up sooner than we were hoping. We had hoped to receive more for what we are getting for the price.

It was a nice place for my father to stay short-term. I would recommend to others.

Understand "things" will happen but the genuine effort of all the staff (all services ) for professional and personal care is very good. Cost is high as far as my loved one is concerned as she's not able to engage in much of the available amenities. Thanks to all for the overall good care!

My mother-in-law moved in and has made many wonderful new friends! Great Place. The activities outside the facility are enjoyable for all who attend. We would recommend it to any family members or loved ones!

Sunrise of Decatur is a very welcoming community that looks more like resort living - it is very clean and no fowl odors at all. There are more activities then what our loved one can participate in so in terms of activities those are very good. We are very satisfied with the overall value that we are paying.

Our family had an in person tour and we thought the tour experience was fantastic, everything we saw was great but it was only assisted living and memory care and we wanted a place that was solely independent living

They don't seem to have too many activities going on during the day for the memory care section. But they're very friendly, and I think they take good care of the people on that floor. It's a nice facility, and her room is nice and roomy and always clean. I like that she has her own private bathroom and shower. And they take care of her laundry as well.

For the most part the staff members are very friendly and the cleanliness of the community is good. We do see the staff being very helpful to the residents who are unable to help themselves - specifically in the dining room. As far as we can tell the meals are pretty good but the dining service at times can be mediocre, sometimes they are slow.
