Sunrise at Cherry Creek sits in a quiet, well-kept area with a welcoming entrance and warm touches like front porch rocking chairs and flower baskets, and it's been part of the community for over 35 years, opening in 2000 and undergoing a full refresh in 2019, so things feel clean and comfortable but also homey. The place holds 83 units, with 36 apartments in assisted living and 47 apartments in a separate, secured memory care neighborhood, and you'll find studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with choices of private or shared bathrooms, large windows, plantation shutters, cozy armchairs, and fresh towels in the accessible bathrooms.
The staff at Sunrise at Cherry Creek use a relationship-based care approach, matching care to each person as their needs change, and there's 24-hour staffing with nurses always on site, regular visits from doctors, a Kaiser doctor, a dentist, and a podiatrist, plus a front desk receptionist named Kathy who helps with oxygen monitoring services. Residents can get help with medications for an extra fee and the staff can manage diabetes care, incontinence, ostomy needs, two-person assists, and some skilled nursing needs, but it's best to check with Sunrise about specific medical questions, and while the community offers a lot of support, it doesn't accept Medicaid.
People living here can pick from assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, continuing care, and short-term stays, and there's also hospice and palliative care if needed. Memory care offers a secured, separate area with group activities for brain and physical health, components of validation therapy, and special programs like Reminiscence and the Terrace Club, and the environment there feels safe and comfortable with a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, a piano, sun-filled spaces for games and music, an inviting library, and a dining room with soft lighting and polished wood furniture.
Art hangs on the walls, indoor spaces like the living room near the main entrance have striped armchairs, big windows, and end tables, and dining rooms feature set tables and warm decor where people eat together. Spaces like the sunny enclosed porch and outdoor patio have wicker chairs, flowers, and garden space, so people often sit outside for fresh air or a bit of quiet. There's a 24-hour on-site bistro for snacks and drinks at any time, and a hair salon and barber shop right in the building.
Sunrise at Cherry Creek promotes an active and comfortable lifestyle, with at least eight activities a day led by both a full-time coordinator and a full-time assistant, including outings, music, arts, learning, and exercises, plus rooms and spaces built for relaxing, reading, games, or just spending time with neighbors. Pets like cats, dogs, and fish can live there, and there's a friendly resident dog as well. Non-denominational religious services happen Sundays, there are Bible studies, and Sunrise partners with local groups for Jewish observances. Smoking happens only in designated outdoor spots.
Transportation is available for both group outings and medical appointments, Wi-Fi/high-speed internet is included, and month-to-month leases let residents stay flexible, requiring thirty days' notice to move out or fourteen if moving to skilled nursing. Sunrise at Cherry Creek is managed and staffed by Sunrise Senior Living, with a long-standing reputation in senior care, a focus on holistic support and changing needs, and extra touches like special names for care programs and areas to help each person feel welcome and at ease.
