Sunrise at Gardner Park sits inside a gracious Victorian mansion, which gives the place a bit of a "Bed and Breakfast" feel, and that's something you don't see every day. The facility holds 55 private apartments and short, easy-to-navigate hallways, so getting around isn't too hard for older adults. Sunrise at Gardner Park offers several care options, such as independent living for those who want some freedom and social life, assisted living when folks need help with things like meals, bathing, or medicine, and skilled nursing if someone needs more medical care. Staff can also support memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's or other dementia through the Reminiscence Program and the Terrace Club, which both focus on reducing confusion and preventing wandering, and the reminiscence care side tries to gently spark old memories with special activities. They've also got Dignity Home Care for in-home support, respite care for folks needing a short stay, and hospice care for end-of-life support.
Safety's a big deal here, with telehealth visits so residents can see doctors from their rooms and the Sunrise CareConnect system that lets doctors keep up with each resident's records and care plans electronically. The facility's earned more than 280 National Quality Awards, and staff go through senior nurse-developed care plans, which they tailor for each person, using research about aging and focusing on what each resident needs and prefers. There's always trained staff on hand, and the Designated Care Manager system keeps caregivers consistent and familiar. Sunrise at Gardner Park is a licensed residential facility, and their team is bonded, licensed, and insured for home care.
The building's common spaces include a main parlor, a casual café, a hair salon, a library, and both a main and private dining room, so residents can spend time with each other or with visiting family. The activities and programs are designed to give people social, educational, or just plain enjoyable things to do, both on and off site, and there are devotional services, indoor and outdoor gathering spots, pet-friendly options, and a focus on keeping folks engaged and moving around safely. Seniors can get help with hygiene, meals, and medication while still having some choice about what they do each day, and that goes for whether they're in independent living, assisted living, memory care, or just stopping by for a short or respite stay. The staff is always available and tries hard to create a caring, comfortable community for older adults.
