Sunrise of Boulder sits in a quiet neighborhood in Boulder, CO, as a ranch-style building managed by Sunrise Senior Living, with Jennifer Packer as the administrator, and the community welcomes seniors who need different levels of care, like independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementias, skilled nursing, respite care, continuing care, hospice care, home care, and adult day services, so residents can stay as their needs change. The place is known for having a warm, inviting setting and a strong focus on well-being, providing personalized care plans, physical activities like Tai Chi and yoga, and programs such as Reminiscence and the Terrace Club for memory care. Sunrise of Boulder has received a high rating of 4.9 and has won more than 280 National Quality Awards, often thanks to compassionate staff who help with daily activities, medication, mobility, and safety. The community makes use of an electronic health record system called Sunrise CareConnect, which helps track medications and care remotely, and offers telehealth visits so residents go out to the doctor less often if they want.
Rooms in the community include studio, private, semi-private, single, and 2-bedroom apartments, all accessible and with some pet-friendly policies, so people get choices while staying comfortable, and there's Wi-Fi, TV lounges, a recreation room, arts and crafts, an outdoor patio and garden, a computer area, and a dining room, with cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry provided. If something goes wrong or there's an emergency, they've got wheelchairs, help with walking, and strong safety measures in place, as well as programs like fall prevention, access to opioid and suicide support, and even elder abuse resources. Sunrise offers engaging activities, such as Nintendo Wii bowling, musical groups, lectures, game nights, story time, and regular trips and events offsite, with transportation available for residents.
The food here comes from quality dining programs, and people can share meals with guests, or use the in-house salon or barber. Residents, caregivers, and local providers get helpful resources and information, including a health library, behavioral health supports, medication lookups, hospital and nursing home comparisons, along with legislative tracking tools and community resource links, all available online, plus a map, floor plans, photo tours, and videos of the site. The whole place is built to keep people safe, active, and able to age in place, with both social activities and private choices; you're supported if you want to get some help or like to stay independent, and if someone needs medical services or simply a short-term stay, there are programs and staff to handle that. It's part of the Aging & Disability Resource Guide and stands out for blending high standards with a calm, neighborhood feeling, aiming to support both the residents' needs and their dignity at every step.
