Marcia at front desk

Took my Mom to visit her lifelong friend at Sunrise of Mill Basin and was so pleasantly surprised not only by how pleasant the building is (inside and out) but by the front desk person ([name removed]). [name removed]could not be more lovely. Helpful. Accommodating. Warm. Genuine. Clearly likes people. Her interaction with me and how everyone walking past her so friendly greeted her speaks volumes. It’s wonderful to know that kind people do exist and that they've chosen to work where their kindness can be most appreciated… The elderly can be vulnerable to all sorts and my Mom and I are so happy to know that Mill [name removed]hires the best! Thank you [name removed]!!

Review for Sunrise of Mill Basin

It is a very good place. Certainly worth a visit if someone looking for long term memory care. Make sure need is not for Nursing Home. Sunrise of Mill Basin is an assisted living facility, not Nursing Home.

Overall, a good place

The managers are great but staff can be surly. Value for cost is a crazy question because the cost is astronomical. She has also fallen 3 x and been to the hospital 2x. Not sure why because we get different stories from different people. And for every new pill ahead needs they tackle on a few hundred dollars a day. It's insane. However, if the family can afford it then yes we would recommend Sunrise of Mill Basin to others

Would not recommend

Friendliness of staff - 3 (dining room staff not friendly, concierge was friendly, personal hygiene care people 1). Several accidents occurred, the last was fatal. If a 0 was available for the value, that is what we would give it.

Review for Sunrise of Mill Basin

Compared to other places, I'm happy my mom is here. But it is understaffed. My mom pays for additional care.Often, however, my mom has to wait a long time before someone shows up to help her to the bathroom or take her to the dining room.

Homelike Setting

My cousin is there, the care has been exceptional, his diabetes which was uncontrolled before he was admitted is much better, the facility is clean and the staff friendly After looking at 4 different facilities, our decision came down to 2 different Sunrise locations, the one in Mill Basin and the one in Sheepshead Bay. The one in Mill Basin just seemed like a better fit

Highly recommend, positive experience

The staff is very friendly and informative. The main reasons we chose Sunrise of Mill Basin was because it was in a quiet neighborhood and they seemed organized and helpful. They listened and tried to help with my dad.

My mom has been here for 3 weeks. The first few days she called me constantly. Now, she never calls me because she's happy! She's getting great attention and is making friends. I'm so comfortable with my choice.

Bye

I have be a Sunrise at Mill Basin for a few years, they think more about money then the happiness and care of residents. My wife went away for a week and she was charged for meals and other services. I talked to the director about this and was told if I don’t like it leave, I will be leaving very soon I found a much nicer place where the care about residents. Sunrise at Mill Basin is getting very run down and the food is going downhill. They do not have the staff to take care of all the residents, the 11pm to 7am shift it is very hard to find somebody to help residents.

Seemed like a very friendly and caring place. They took plenty of time to take me on a tour of the facility and explain their services. The experience was very good.

Recommended- without hesitation!

My loved one is currently a resident at Sunrise of Mill Basin and everything has been great for her at this facility so far. The move in process was painless. The management and sales staff are excellent. The aides and caregivers are very caring and positive. The food is excellent and so are the dining sections. This is a very well run facility. Without reservation, I would recommend Sunrise of Mill Basin to others.

Great Place for the Elderly/Aged

Employees are professional and pleasant. Based on observation, they are very attentive to the residents and their needs. The receptionist is the best I've seen. [Name removed] is courteous, pleasant and a great representation of your institution. She's an asset.
