The community sits close to bus lines and provides transportation services, making it easier for folks to get out for appointments or to go on outings, while the staff takes care of housekeeping, trash removal, and provides internet and Wi-Fi for residents to use. Anyone living here gets three daily meals if they want, all well-balanced with several choices and snacks available any time, plus there's always fresh flowers around and pets like dogs and cats that make the place feel lived-in. Daily exercise and wellness programs help keep everyone healthy, with monthly visits from a licensed nurse who's on staff, and the caregivers build real relationships with folks living there, which you can tell by the way the residents and staff know each other.
The building's got a homelike look with common areas, sunrooms, screened porches, indoor parking, comfortable community lounges, and shaded walking paths that have benches for sitting, and there are outdoor gardens with garden beds the residents help take care of, a gazebo overlooking a pond, and landscaping with nice views. Memory care residents have a special Reminiscence neighborhood for folks with memory loss, and there's personalized programming that takes care of different wellness needs, with flexible support as seniors' needs change, and families stay connected through a family app where staff share videos, photos, and updates. The community has a license for 59 residents in assisted living, and you'll always notice a close-knit, friendly group there with people who want to help, plus resources that explain funding options, including things like selling a house or using veterans benefits or long-term care insurance, and there's advice and planning support for families to help figure out timing and costs. The place focuses on comfort, safety, affordability, and support for both residents and families, and anyone 55 or over can look at maintenance-free independent living if they like, while folks who need more care can use the on-site skilled nursing and memory care services designed for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. There's always activities, social events, and chances for community engagement, and staff work to make sure everyone feels at home, connected, and supported at Sunrise of Gurnee.
