I live in the area and finally went in to look for my father. There was live music in playing in the min lobby. The building was warm and cozy.

Good nursing staff

Sunrise Review

Sunrise provides very good care for my sister. She has adapted well to her environment and enjoys the activities and entertainment they provide. Care staff is very friendly and provide updates on my sister's health and care. The facility has provided her with the opportunity to socially engage with others and activities that have improved her mental health and overall condition.
