Exceeded Expectations

We LOVED it there! [names removed] were amazing and took such good care of my Dad! The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming - the activities director was fabulous - the food was phenomenal and we wish he could have stayed longer! 10/10 would recommend the Road Home Program. Thank you [names removed] too for making the transition from Ludlowe to Sunrise to easy and pleasant!!

Sunrise of Fairfield review

I would give Sunrise a six if I could. The fees for the rental of the rooms and the accommodations he needed were a little excessive. But the facility was fairly new and extremely luxurious inside. Got a fantastic menu and dining options and tons of interesting activities, including happy hours knitting club and guest lectures. We met with her very compelling salesperson named [name removed]. My wife and I absolutely loved him. He was like no other sales person that we experienced and we almost feel bad not going t

Unacceptable for wheelchair-bound

The problem was [name removed] the person in charge of the CNAs, operated in a tyrannical manner. She first refused to allow my wife to us a bed pan. Then, though it was agreed before we entered that she could use a bed pan at night and I and staff could use our Hoyer during the day, she demanded the CNAs use their Hoyer both day and night even though the only sling they had was for a bariatric person and my wife is petite. And, that meant waiting hours to urinate and not being able to go to the dining room. [name

Experience at Sunrise of Fairfield

My loved one was previously a resident at Sunrise of Fairfield and we did not have a good experience. It was unacceptable. [Name removed], who is in charge of the Aides, drove us away. We had many issues and disagreements about my loved one's care, including bed pan use refusal and Hoyer lift use/issues. For example, it took them 90 minutes to move my loved one to the restroom via the Hoyer lift. We could no longer tolerate it.
