Excellent all around! My aunt is in memory care and I've been touched by how she seems to be truly loved by the staff. [name removed] in particular is a vibrant and engaging woman whose presence really makes the care exceptional!

Horrible experience, would never recommend

Staff was horrible, from executive down to aids. Aids yelled at my mother-in-law, did not approach her with understanding or compassion, they gave orders instead of suggestions. There was no activities for the first 2 weeks as they were not an activities director. Once one started, the activities were pathetic, and no one attended them. Dining was depressing. Not great food options and everyone had their own tables and people they like to sit with. Very uninviting and non-inclusive. Overall horrible experience.

A very positive and happy energy every time I come.

They made my mom feel welcomed and loved every day. Everyone is very attentive and friendly to all of the residents. [name removed] really looks after my mom like family and it’s much appreciated !!! They make sure that she comes out of her room for her meals and try to get her involved in activities by reminding her that things are going on throughout the day. Without that encouragement, my mom might really feel alone, but she does not hear. This has been a really hard experience for my mom yet they make it smooth every single day with everyone’s help..

Welcoming Community and Caring Staff

The staff get to know residents very well, care is tailored to the resident's needs with an "age in place" model. The cookies baked fresh daily, the flavored water, the variety of menu options and activities are wonderful. Some areas of the facility have what I consider a "nursing home smell" that can be unpleasant but it seems to be limited to only a couple of specific areas. The rooms, hallways and gathering areas are kept clean and tidy. They seem to work hard to give the facility the feeling of "being home" with a welcoming community.

Language barrier with caregivers

Many language issues. Care givers and wait staff have very poor English skills. Wait time for help is unacceptable. There were no outside of the building activities scheduled while I was there are 2.5 months! I liked my apartment. It was spacious but kitchenette was very inadequate. 45 minutes into meal time, they would run out of entrees.

lovely place and lovely people

The building is warm , cozy, and "just like being at our own home". The entire staff at Sunrise are kind, helpful and they are genuinely sincere about wanting to help the residents that live there. The food is very good . The menus are diverse enough that they would appeal to a wide range of folks. I feel that my sister and I made a fabulous choice of a " home" for our mom. By the way, my 93 year old mom feels the same way!

Beautiful facility

With the exception of the dining room there seems to be sufficient staff, all of whom are friendly and helpful. Dining room is under staffed. It is beautiful. The room is good size and cheery. I was impressed by the features included...weekly cleaning and laundry including put away. Cable TV included. Friendly associates. The hope of outdoor areas.....once spring arrives. Mainly I believe my brother is safe and taken care of.

Hard-working, caring

I appreciate the kindness and professionalism so many of the Care managers show to my mom in memory care. They really make the effort with her in their communication. I know many of them by name ([names removed] I don't want to leave anyone out). They are very dedicated to the care of the residents.

Memory care at sunrise

Everyone has been friendly and made my Mom feel comfortable. We also feel welcomed. I like that there are various levels of need in the building. I appreciate that they allow pets to visit. I also chose the place because it the location. I can walk to my Mom’s building.

Caring and responsive team

My mom has been living at Sunrise for over a month while healing from a sudden health issue impacting mobility and cognition. When looking at different facilities, it jumped out to us that Sunrise asked just as many questions about Mom’s condition and ways to support her as we were asking about them. The care plan is customized to her needs so she feels comfortable and supported. The whole staff treats Mom with respect and care, as well as the rest of our family! We are very involved in Mom’s care and we’ve gotten to know a lot of the wonderful staff. When adjustments have been needed for Mom, they’ve been happy to pivot and help. And Mom receives her PT and OT on-site! The support and flexibility of Sunrise is helping not only Mom, but our whole family caring for Mom.

Friendly staff,

What our family likes the most about Sunrise of Golden valley is the friendliest of the staff and the layout of the building and her room. Lots of sunlight and open space and even a patio on the memory floor. Location was a big plus too and the fact that there's a nice park across the street to walk in.

Not recommended

My loved one was previously a resident at Sunrise of Golden Valley and the overall experience was terrible at this facility. They were understaffed and we did not get the expected care. There was so much staff turnover, no one seemed to know what was going on. There was no walking program. I would not recommend this facility to others.

Disappointed

Sunrise staff is turning over a lot, which is troubling. The replacement hires aren't being given much training. They treat patients as though they are in a nursing home and not in a catered care, assisted living facility.

Look beyond the smoke & mirrors

My mother was accepted with a homer lift transfer, but they did not use it causing bruises and skin tear injuries that resulted in months of infections. We ended up there twice a day to monitor the administering of meds (which she paid $[removed]a day for). She was not receiving them as prescribed. 2-4 hour waits for toileting or getting up in the morning. We met with the direct and managers of cares almost every two weeks for 7 months trying to get improved care. They continued to state they are working for the best care of the patient, but this was just lip service. Then when my mother was on hospice in her last two days, they twice refused pain meds. So what was suppose to be comfort/palliative care was anything but. She was in constant distress and pain. Very under staffed, untrained staff, over promising and never delivering the care she needed or was paying for. Our communication was done by email so we had documentation. They never responded in writing. They did not want any record.

Review for Sunrise of Golden Valley

Sunrise was easy to get to, adequate parking. Room again similar to other facilities. Brookdale beat out Sunrise only because Brookdale could get assessment completed first. Brookdale and Sunrise were top contenders as far as my family was concerned.
