Review for Sunrise of Huntington Common

The staff is great and he is getting very good care. He doesn't leave his room but that's his choice. He's very negative about the food but everything I've had, has been very good. I think his taste buds have gone on strike! The general feeling is that he isn't going to live much longer, which overall is a good thing.

Very kind very helpful great food in the restaurant. My mom isn't wild about a lot of people, but she actually likes hanging out in the common area. Need more activities that are for able-minded people like trivia, etc.

Our Families Experience

The quality of care rating is more related to staffing and at times the "service of care" was slow. My loved one often complained about the food his statement would always be it didn't have any flavor. There were other times where he said it was good so I'll give a 3 rating.

Highly recommend

It was a short stay for my mother. She was there less than 2 months but it was a very positive experience. 5 Star Service. My brother’s in-laws moved in the following month due to our pleasure with the staff, meals & care. We had my mother at another memory care facility prior to HC. The experience was night & day. We wish we had found HC sooner.

Our family's experience

I would like to preface this survey by letting you know that my Mom passed away on[date removed] . It was rather quick, but they were wonderful! The hospice group that they work with was awesome and very attentive. The Huntington staff would quietly check in on us and provided a cart that had coffee, tea, juice, soda, fruit and light snacks. The overall experience would be a 10++. I can't say enough about Huntington. The entire process from the very beginning until the end was positive. Always clean and never any "weird" smells. Everyone always had smiles. She was not always an easy resident, but they learned how to smooth out the ruffled feathers. Each mealtime offered 3 different options and they would accommodate when needed. Always had events or little projects going. Not going to lie....it is an expensive facility, but my Mom was very well taken care of. The piece of mind alone is something you can't put a price on ��

Short Term Help

My Advisor from a A Place for Mom was invaluable in helping me talk through my parents' needs and what solutions existed, and then help me find a number of possibilities to contact. My advisor was with me, offering support, over the course of several months and I cannot say enough good things about them. I would highly recommend Huntington Common and was extremely pleased with all aspects of their services. We picked this community because they had a month-to-month short-term stay option that allowed them a temporary location that would offer her caregiving backup while they transitioned out of their large house and into a smaller place closer to family.

Tour Review

Our family had an in person tour with Sunrise of Huntington Common and we felt the tour experience was very good, it is a very lovely place and the lady who gave the tour was also very lovely. They had a nice presentation but the price was a little to high. Also for our loved one it just seemed a little to independent for our loved one.

Great staff and good experience!

It has been a good experience for us -- we did not eat the food when we toured, but the dining facilities looked nice and clean! We will be renting a cottage here! The cottages have lots of room for us and the living room and the kitchen are ample, there is lots if windows in the cottages so it gets a lot of natural light.

Very Positive Experience-Wonderful Community

They have been fantastic. My loved one loves the food. They have so many choices, and with each meal, they have soup, salad, three differnt entrees and then dessert. They have all kinds of activites. They were flexible with the initial process, considering that it was virtual. They gave a warm feeling. It's a beautiful place. The memory care unit has their own outdoor area. Overall, it's a wonderful place.

A good place for mom

This is a good facility. It's a little bit older, but once you get in the room it feels very homey. My loved one doesn't care for the food. The activities are very good, they do a great job. They have a good variety, including plant care, painting classes, embroidery, etc. Housekeeping does a good job. The only thing I don't really like is that the hallways are a bit narrow. It's kind of a tight fit and can be hard to navigate, especially with residents using wheelchairs or walkers. Overall, I would recommend them to family and friends.

Struggling for staff, reduced services

My mother moved into Huntington a few months ago and so far the experience has been disappointing. Apparent staff shortages have currently halted meal service in the dining room, and sub-par meals are being delivered to the rooms in Styrofoam and plastic containers (and often cold). There is a general air of anger and frustration among the residents which is making a difficult transition even harder for my mom. Definitely, many of the amenities that my mother was told she'd be receiving are not currently available (although there has been no change in what she is charged every month!). I'm sure the pandemic is contributing to the staff shortage, but unless changes happen I would not feel comfortable in recommending this community at this time.

Right now the meals and dining service is a big hit or miss with our loved one. When we speak to them they are just not happy with the quality and sometimes they aren't even sure what it is they are eating. However, the value for cost is very good.

Huntington Common

We have not have one case of Covid-19 at the community so far, which speaks to the cleanliness of the community. The staff always go the extra mile and during the pandemic, they have really jumped through hoops for us. I think the medical care that they are offering is very proactive. Huntington Common is very expensive, however we are happy with the care, so we think it is an acceptable value.
