Critical

Most reviews for Sunrise Senior Living in Frederick, MD, are written from the perspective of residents and their families. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with six years of experience, I want to provide the perspective of a former employee. I worked at this facility for a month (March 31st – May 9th), and during my time, I witnessed horrendous neglect, widespread incompetence, terrible communication, blatant favoritism, and a hostile work environment. I strongly advise against placing your loved ones in this

We had a tour scheduled and it seemed that they didn’t even know we were coming. She then said that she was double booked and asked if we could reschedule for the next day. I drive 2 hours to tour the facility so that was not a possible alternative! So, the receptionist gave us a tour but didn’t know the answers to some of our questions! Very, very disappointed! But, the facility was nice.

This was the first tour. Staff was friendly, building and rooms were clean, and there were activities if my mother wanted to participate. Presentation was thorough and our questions were answered. The small studio room was a good fit.

The care staff is excellent and admin listens to any concerns. My dad was only there for 3 months, but he made some friends, loved his care providers, and loved his room.
