Great place for seniors

More vegetarian food options but other than that it is a wonderful place. Yes, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far.

Sunrise is the best thing I could have done for my cousin!!! They are a cut above the rest of the facilities I toured. They have great amenities, food, cleanliness, etc.

Review for Sunrise of Old Tappan

We were told she would have 3-4 personal aids on rotation and have 24 hour care and support. They lied. Also it looked so nice and was so expensive we assumed it meant top care.

Just what I was looking for

Sunrise at Old Tappan is a great place. It is just what I was looking for. It suits my current and future needs perfectly. Sunrise is a little pricey but I knew that. I hope that I can maintain my health at the present level so I can keep the “care level” at a minimum. The staff is wonderful, the food simple but excellent and there are just enough activities to keep me interested. I knew many of the other residents would have some mental impairment but as long as you keep your sense of humor and desire to help others, you can deal with it. I especially appreciate that professional medical care is readily available and that all residents are checked on frequently.

So far so good

Sunrise of Old Tappan has been relatively easy to work with so far! At this point, I would recommend them to others. It's a bit early to give a recommendation. However, I had a loved one that was there two years ago and we were happy with her care, so we returned for another loved one. Time will tell if things are the same or not.

Tour Review

Our family had an in person tour with Sunrise of Old Tappan, and the overall tour experience was nice, but based on other tours we had done, we just did not think this community was going to be the best fit for our loved one.

My tour review

This community was very similar to another community that I was looking at. I had a connection with an executive director at another community and this just made me go a different direction. They have some good amenities for the residents just was another community that shined more.

As close to home as you can get

This is a beautiful small community. It is smaller than other communities but the staff seem to care and there is a lot of people there. My loved one has a lot of needs and they are able to take care of everything that she needs and is always right there. My loved one is really taken care of well here. It is never going to be her home but I have bought a lot of things to make it homey. My loved one feels like she is on vacation all the time and she is not struggling any more and this means a lot.

Depending on location of caregiver depending on needs

Depending on what is needed, what you are looking for and the location this may be the place for you or your loved one. The staff are fine and there for the residents.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour and it was a very good tour, it was our second choice. However after looking at other facilities, when we came here, it just did not seem to have that big friendly happier atmosphere, the residents did not seem the most happy or engaged.

A good place but a bit expensive.

It's a good place, and I would recommend it. There are some issues with the cost. I think for someone who needs the care, it's okay. But it's very pricey. Our loved one didn't need a lot of services, so it wasn't too bad, but if you add on care needs, it becomes quite pricey. I thought the place was clean and well maintained. There was adequate space, although his room could have been a tad bigger. But the bathroom was a good size, especially if you have any type of handicap. The facility itself was excellent. And my loved one liked the food overall as well.

Our tour experience

Our family had an in person tour and the tour was just okay, they were very cryptic when explaining their different levels of care. They didn't feel very trust worthy and we felt we would get nickel and dimed for everything. It is a nice facility, but also the medical management was twice as much as any other community we had looked at.

We are allowed to visit but at the moment it is only window visits. So far the staff members have been fantastic and they have been extremely good about getting in touch with us constantly with updated on our loved one. Also, from our understanding they have not had any covid cases.

Unprofessional Unkind and Run by Aides . in Fear

This assisted living of Old Tappan is a reminder of how old closed nursing homes were run. There are No activities of substance. a very rude and non caring staff-which is understaffed . The premise at 7 30 is everyone quiet in your rooms. -it seems liked many are sedated. Unlike other senior living communities . there is like Age is Only a number. Age is to be respected Run by AIDES ONLY and some woman at the desk The director is very rude , at times very disrespectful We had our rlative loved one there and came home for a show and dinner -it was after 8 PM and a medication aide was angry that it was LATE and had to let us IN . it is home. There are NO activities of substance one aide [name removed] is so harsh with women .. angry and cannot even speak to any topic of interest. again rude the key aide giver has no grasp . and cannot deal with anyting this is NOT her way or the [name removed]'s way the director YOU never hear laughter .. angry Nursing is unheard ...the medical Staff a Dr. [name removed] is not an advocate of Seniors and Wellness ..so it is Best to Go to our own doctor We will consider transferring Aging is not about being an OLD person in FEAR or keep quiet LIfe is to be Lived The Director nor staff accommodate that Gift .

Very threatening and sad

Our family experience at Sunrise of Old Tappan was tragic as well as met with hostility, disrespect and denial of dignity and medical care. Under the direction of [name removed] and reporting concerns of negligence -for example not allowing my father to have hearing aids or go out to eye specialist with a Sunrise MD supporting such senile of care . and expressing concern [name removed] retaliated against me for such advocacy for my poor 93 year old father with a Law suit against me. I am a clinician and in health care and having worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering IN NYC i come with experience and compassion Her methods of hostility to include yelling. slamming down phones when merely asking for help for my parents was a complete shock-as if aging parents is not sad enough , her treatment caused such pain and stress to the point of fear-which was termed also by my parents My mother had advanced lung disease which was very hard for her she was left without clinical care and once I was able to over ride the complaints to NOT to take her to the hospital by the [name removed] and Her nurse .. EMS in town were so helpful and took my mother to Valley hospital for a week stay saving her life Sunrise the day of Admission with [name removed] and a [name removed] both financial . stated I had no right to da that Well I do believe all have a right to LIFE the next time .. the nurse and MD along with the eldest son stated NO medical care wait Such wait yielded my mother to end up in ICU and she died 10 days later My father is not being isolated and denied socialization ..after losing his wife of 63 years the STAFF is short staffed during evening there are NO LPN or Nurses for care to supervise and aids have very often yelled at my father as well as me for merely asking as he is Profoundly hard of hearing .. can you help him translate demented Your father cannot hear sick of this were many comment s There were two very kind aids in evening and thank God for them . they tried but fear of Job etc could only allow so much Comments of " we are not here to protect your father MY job is to protect Sunrise by lead care provider under Ms Varnum was so fearing As [name removed] Varnum continues to deny or attempt to deny my right of freedom o speech She also threatened that I am not allowed to review . IF my father is not protected from her and the eldest son he will succumb to this in his loss He is loving kind and denied any amount of love .. Ms varnum is perhaps the most hostile and abusive person i have met in over 36 years in health care. I do not recommend this assisted living there are other sunrise and assisted living that actually do so much to respect seniors i.e. Upper Saddle river . so very kind even they did not get my father 's tech corrected so that the MDHoinkus and [name removed] have him on a baby food diet Yet when I visited i made soft chicken soup and high protein .. This is so very sad and threatening
