About Sunrise of Wilmington

Just minutes from the Delaware/Pennsylvania state line, Sunrise of Wilmington is set in the heart of Brandywine Hundred. We pride ourselves in our dedication to creating a quality care alternative for seniors in the North Wilmington area. Step into a Sunrise Assisted Living community and you can't help but feel at home. We stop at nothing to make your experience warm and inviting, from our homelike exterior architecture, to our comfortable community areas and choice of suites to our exceptional outdoor gardens and landscaping. Look around and you'll notice fresh flowers throughout the residence, and you may even spot our dog. And of course, there are always the friendly smiling faces of our staff to ensure that each day spent here is a welcome one.

Lovely facility; however, the tour helped me realize that an assisted living facility may not be the right fit for my husband at this point in his life.

I didn't actually tour this facility. I met with their representative. He told me about the place and the price. $[removed]+ is out of what I could afford.
