I spent seven months at Sunrise Alexandria after experiencing a horrible accident in which I broke my hip femur shoulder and shin bone . During the first six months of my recovery, I lived in healthcare Hell what I call American Hell Care. When I arrived at Sunrise 🌞 of Alexandria, all that changed, I had access to management right down the hall the nursing staff and the med tech staff were very efficient and I established relationships with the nursing staff, mainly from Africa and Ethiopia people from all over the world . In contrast to where I was before, I was living in a place that expressed empathy and kindness. They were activities. The activities manager was fantastic and food was very good utmost care and classiness was expressed to me throughout my stay. Sunrise 🌞 has a business model for all facilities that reflects in my opinion the best of American healthcare. It is a little bit expensive and I could barely afford it, but I had to stay there. I bow down in gratefulness to Arin and all her staff in a corporate culture that was very comforting and helpful in my recovery from a disastrous injury.

Lucy is amazing! All the staff is! We had a wonderful tour here with my Mom! I really liked that Lucy took the time to sit down twice to check in where my Mom was in the process. She was so comforting! Thank you Lucy 😊
