About Sunrise of Alexandria

In elegant, residential environments, we deliver the finest in senior care, and are recognized internationally for both quality and innovation. Guided by our Principles of Service, Sunrise affords families peace-of-mind by providing today's seniors with a range of personalized assisted living services. From assistance with activities of daily living such as eating, bathing, dressing to medication monitoring, Sunrise provides residents with the help they need. Residents maintain the same privacy in their new home as they enjoyed in their own home. At Sunrise, we encourage residents to challenge themselves while offering the assistance they need. We encourage family and friends to be involved, to visit frequently, and to invite residents on outings to community events. This innovative approach to senior care is designed to maintain independence and dignity, yet is balanced with the comfort and security that comes from knowing experienced help is close at hand.

Review for Sunrise of Alexandria

They were wonderful. Best run place. Clean, caring, awareness of needs of each person. Not just those in charge but everyone working there. Our sadness was that [Name Removed] mom didn't live longer to enjoy being there. And she really did enjoy the place. They made sure that she sat so she made friends, but she died soon after coming there. Our experience with hospice there was also wonderful in a very sad time. [Name Removed] mom was 99 so we were truly blessed that she spent her last few weeks there. If you hav

friendly staff, nice community, good Activities, religious advisors available

Their staff is good, but for someone like [name removed] - more staff is needed. For someone who requires medium care it is fine. It is a beautiful building - good food and activities.

Friendly and Caring Staff

I like the community's location, the staff's attention to my family members, the way they dispense and monitor medications, the activities available on a daily basis, and the regularly provided square meals. The staff was helpful and friendly during my visits.

Overall pleased

I think they generally have a very good facility for senior living, but I would appreciate a more proactive approach from their staff. I am concerned that the staff has not been able to keep a "wandering" resident from frequent and intrusive visits to my mother's room in their memory care unit. My loved ones have seemed very content since their move here.
