What an absolutely stunning facility. I have worked around and referred many patients to Sunrise, but this must be the flagship location because it is beautiful and the patient I referred here have always gotten great care and great outcomes. Lucky to work with such a great team

My mother has been in the Reminiscence neighborhood at Sunrise56 for over a year now, and I cannot say enough good things about the care she receives. First and foremost, the team is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in her well-being. After more than a year, I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands. I’m also incredibly impressed with everything else Sunrise56 offers — the food is fresh and delicious, the facilities are beautiful and well-maintained, and the activities are engaging and thoughtfully planned. It’s clear they make every effort to keep residents active, comfortable, and connected. Another thing I deeply appreciate is how they’ve connected me with other excellent care providers and resources. That extra level of support means so much, and it reassures me that my mom’s needs are being met in every possible way. If you’re looking for a place where your loved one will be cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine warmth, I can wholeheartedly recommend Sunrise56.
