A Surprising Experience

We were amazed. Everything was far better than we expected. The staff were unbelievable. They did more than I would have expected them to do. The food seemed to be very good. My wife liked most of it. I thought the activities were good, a nice variety. I always joined in on them when I was there.

A Very Good Community

Every staff member was kind and warm. They were extremely understanding about my uncle's needs and the challenges he faced moving to a group living environment after being independent his entire life.

Our experience

The overall experience has been good and the overall cleanliness has been very good. The friendliness is excellent, the care services have been very good and the staff are excellent. The meals are good but I don't eat, the resident seems to think it's ok. The activities are good. the money's a lot. It's very hard for me to say. She pays twelve thousand dollars a month, which seems crazy. And she won't be able to live there for more than a year.

My cousin was a resident there.

My cousin declined before she arrived there, and her decline continued. She was only there for 10 days before she passed. But the staff provided great care and were so kind. They did everything they could to help her. I am very grateful for their kindness and care.

Excellent care

From the first time we walked in, the facility was first rate, everyone we talked to was friendly and knowledgeable. We could see the interaction with the residents was excellent. Everyone there was extremely helpful and answered every question and concern we had.

Review for Sunrise of McCandless

The staff was friendly and there were good amenities. They also have two community pets on site, this was important to us because [name removed] has a dog but the dog wasn't going to be able to follow him into the home because he could not take care of it himself.

Not what we expected

Initially I was impressed with this facility but as time has gone on I’m less so. Lack of staff, washing machines that are broken and sometimes limited food. We supply additional private care and thank goodness we do. The night staff rarely check on the residents.

Quality Care.

I would recommend this facility for the care of my loved ones. They care for their customers. The feedback that I received on the food is that they variety and serving size (more) could be improved.

a nice community for loved ones - recommended

We have had no experience with the meals and dining service, but our loved ones seems to be ok with them. For the activities, our loved one didn't like them, but that was just her. The place was very nice and a comfortable place for mom's last year plus. She was a bit of a recluse so the activities didn't appeal to her. The costs were prohibitive, but maybe they all? Staff was for the most part great. Medical was very good.

The staff is pretty friendly at Sunrise of McCandless. My dad says that some of the workers are very good and others are lazy and do not do much. I have been happy with their communication with myself. My dad loves the food. Unfortunately, he doesn't attend any of the activities and says he has nothing in common with the residents. The staff seems to be very nice to him. My dad has mentally improved significantly since being at Sunrise. I would recommend the facility to others, the biggest drawback is the cost.

Wonderful Care

I am very satisfied with the wonderful care provided by this facility for my wife. She has improved greatly at Sunrise of McCandless. Management and Staff are very professional and pay attention to details with favorable outcomes. They worked well with Concordia which is where my wife had rehab. I would definitely recommend to use this facility to provide care for my loved ones.

Beautiful facility

We thought the facility was beautiful and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was not good and almost always luke- warm. One resident said the food used to be great but they changed companies and the quality and service went way down.

Who's doing your food?

Big complaints from my brother who's at McCandless. No service in the dining area and questionable food service during the weekend. Could someone there explain the problem?

Tour of Sunrise

Sunrise of McCandles would have been our second choice. We knew them prior to visiting because we had other family members who stayed here and they had a great experience. My husband had dementia and could get aggressive and they were not set up to deal with that type of behavior, so we felt this was not going to be the right fit for him. But due to other past experiences, it is a great place and we had no issues with them.

Community Tour

Sunrise of McCandless was an older facility and seemed kind of drab. It just didn't seem lively enough for my loved one, who is full of life. The staff was more laid back, and I just wasn’t impressed with the level of activity available.

My experience with Sunrise

They keep the pools closed all summer and winter, so do not expect to wear a bathing suit or short sleeved shirt.
