Sunrise of Norwood sits about thirty minutes from both Boston and Rhode Island, and it's a medium-sized, family-oriented senior living community that welcomes older adults to a place that looks a bit like a Victorian mansion. Residents can choose from different living options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, and even hospice and Dignity Home Care services. The community has served seniors for over 35 years, and staff work hard to provide support that's based on the latest research in aging.
This community offers advanced safety and security systems throughout the property and keeps common areas comfortable with features like fireplaces, TV lounges, outdoor gardens, patios, walking paths, and private dining rooms. Everything is designed to be easy for people with mobility challenges, including wheelchair-accessible showers and doors, as well as friendly, trained staff who help with daily activities and health needs.
Memory care options include the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, which focus on those living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and use personalized care plans along with regular mental stimulation activities. The community's assisted living care covers housekeeping, transportation, and personal support, while skilled nursing gives medical care for residents who need it. Residents can get short-term respite stays, and the structured schedule includes social, educational, and therapeutic activities every day, which helps people stay active and meet others.
Meals come prepared by a professional chef, featuring three daily options, plenty of snacks, and special diets like gluten-free or low sodium. Residents and their guests can eat in restaurant-style or private dining rooms. There's a library, a cafe/bistro, resident parking, nearby public transportation, a beauty salon with a beautician onsite, and Catholic spiritual services or visits from chaplains. Staff also get specialized training to care for seniors, especially in memory support and personalized wellness.
Sunrise of Norwood has a focus on treating each resident as an individual and aims for high quality of care, with support plans shaped to meet each person's unique needs. There's always a full calendar of social, recreational, and educational programs, so people can fill their days as much or as little as they like, and the community's many amenities help everyone feel comfortable, supported, and at home.
