I am writing this as the son of a female resident who is 99 years old, and mobility limited. The time I have spent on the Sunrise facility is limited to weekly visits and some of my comments are based on conversations with the family resident and other residents I have spoken with. The living facilities at Sunrise of Metairie are in excellent condition. Food and dining are also very good. Medication assistance by Sunrise nurses is very helpful for older residents that may be forgetful about when and how much medication they have taken. The service is pricy but may be well worth it - you have to be the judge. Staff are caring and become very familiar with the resident's needs and personality. Everyone is pleasant and willing to help when asked. Activities are provided for both physical and mental stimulation. Physical health will determine which activities a resident can participate in. All residents are encouraged to participate. Living at Sunrise for older residents who are mobility limited can be a challenge at times. The facility is sometimes short staffed and unable to promptly respond in a timely manner to every resident's request for assistance. Many, if not all residents have the emergency lanyard and the lanyards are also in each room on the walls. A frequent complaint I heard is that response times can be long (more than 10 minutes) when a lanyard is pulled. Food service in the dining room can also be slow. Currently, the food is brought out in courses and the overall service time can be lengthy and tiring for an older resident. Overall, you will pay a premium for care at Sunrise. Sunrise of Metairie sometimes falls short of 5 stars in my rating. However, it does deserve consideration as an above average facility for persons who are considering assisted living.

Welcomed from the start. I did a surprise walk in and instantly was given a tour of the memory care unit with Katrina. Then we scheduled a formal tour with LJ who was informative and could answer all of my questions and concerns to the fullest. We also met with Matt who was also welcoming. The nursing staff was accessible without prior notice and explained the Sunrise system for dementia care From the get go I have felt comfortable having this team care for mom in these difficult circumstances. From the hostess at the front desk to the CNAs on the unit it’s a warm comfortable place for mom.
