Review for Sunrise of Raleigh

I appreciated the initial recommendations but when my father's care level increased, I was told it was out of the scope of what APFM did which was disappointing. It turned out one of your recommendations COULD accept him in his condition, but we just happened to find out about that when the facility called us to let us know about an opening (this had nothing to do directly with APFM when the facility contacted me). I also wish that your reps had gotten back to me quicker. I called twice and both times had to wait s

Things to know

Not enough staff in my opinion in the memory care unit. Room cleanliness was an issue. Some staff not thoroughly trained. They do have a hoyer lift which was the main reason we chose them over others.

Do not recommend

They are understaffed, and the care givers are untrained and not properly supervised. They posted a schedule both for care and activities that were rarely adhered to. The facility became unsafe for mom to stay there.

Consider Medical Needs

I think Sunrise is a great place if your loved one is pretty self-sufficient. Our issues came from the preliminary evaluation. We were very upfront about our loved one having ostomy bag, as well as a few cognitive issues. We felt he would go in to Sunrise as a level 3. The evaluation was not thorough enough, and he was admitted as a level 2, which indicated less assistance was needed. This was not the case. If your family member needs a little help with bathing, dressing, and someone to cook, and wants socializatio

Very caring staff

They are very responsive and work hard to make residents and family feel welcome. It is easy to get in contact with staff and care arrangements are comprehensive. The building is quite nice also.

The tour was well organized and showed me all of the different aspects of the community I needed to see. Unfortunately the cost involved exceeded my budget.
