Sunrise of Prospect Heights sits as a three-story senior living community that's now under new management by Sunrise Senior Living since June 2024, offering assisted living, memory care-including the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club-independent living, short-term stays, and hospice care. The staff includes reliable team members with specialized training, a part-time nurse, and caregivers who are there 24/7 to help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, and daily living tasks. The place allows pets and even adopts dogs as companions for residents. Apartments come as studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts with walk-through closets, washer-dryer units, kitchenettes with full-size fridges and microwaves, and granite countertops, while suites are also available. Residents use bright, cozy rooms and enjoy clean, updated spaces with walk-in showers.
The VIVA! Legacy program helps residents shape their quality of life and end-of-life wishes. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are done regularly, so residents have less to worry about. Residents can pay by credit card or check for rent and care fees, and guest parking or family parking is available in several parking lots.
There are many things to do each day, like board games, hobbies, movies in the Willow movie theater, outings, music, gardening in outdoor raised beds, yoga, arts and crafts, tabletop games, Victory Gardens for personal vegetables, and walks through courtyards with paths and lush gardens. The community calendar is filled with events covering the 6 Elements of a Fulfilling Lifestyle, and there are special programs such as ArtPath for art instruction, Lifelong Learning with adult education and college-level classes, Good Vibrations drumming circles for exercise and fun, and the Viva! World Tour that lets residents explore exotic cultures and practice languages at home.
Dining is restaurant-style, with seasonal meals planned by chefs and meal planners, available both in communal dining rooms and by room service, with meals for guests too. Residents can go to the on-site coffee shop or bistro, use a demonstration kitchen, and find snacks easily. For activity, there's a modern fitness center with programs that include stretching, weight checks, blood pressure checks, and consultations, plus a business center and a library with a technology hub for learning.
Residents get rides to shopping and outings, and the community provides general transportation options. To stay well, there are pharmacy services, medication management, health counseling, therapy coordination, physical and occupational therapy, in-home health care, and regular nurse consultations, along with psychiatric and companion care. Dignity Home Care and hospice services support health needs as they arise. Memory care residents are cared for in safe environments meant to prevent wandering and confusion, while rehabilitation and disease prevention counseling are offered to all who need them.
The community holds religious services and welcomes people from all walks of life, using mostly English but offering a range of languages. The building has a media center, theaters, a gazebo, demonstration kitchen, business center, salons and spa for personal care, art rooms, patios, common rooms with cable TV, computer rooms, and several social areas for relaxation. The outdoor areas have garden spaces and courtyards where people gather or stroll.

Meals are nutritious, the rooms are comfortable, social events are lively, and the mission is to give seniors a vibrant, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle in a setting where family and friends feel welcome.
