We toured the memory care wing. There were several nice common areas where residents can socialize. The studio apartment we looked at was spacious, had new carpet, and a bird feeder outside the window. It was perfect for my Gramma. It was the very first place we looked at and is still my favorite one.

Review for Sunrise of Boulder

I think the staff were great, it always appeared clean and the food was good. I think my mother-in-law's biggest challenge was feeling that many of the residents had lower cognitive function, and perhaps activities reflected this. However, this may have been my mother-in-law's overall negativity, which may or may not have been accurate.

Beautiful Community

I recently moved my mom into Sunrise of Boulder, and so far, the experience has been wonderful. The team has made everything easier for us during what I thought was going to be very stressful. Everyone has been kind, welcoming, and very supportive. The community is beautiful, warm, and inviting. The staff is attentive, compassionate, and clearly dedicated to the resident well-being. My mom feels comfortable and is settling in nicely. We feel very fortunate to have found Sunrise of Boulder. Knowing my mom is safe, h
