Sunrise of Edgewater stands as a Victorian-style mansion with ranch-style layout so residents don't have to worry about stairs and can move around on the ground floor, which makes things easier for everyone, and the mansion sits on pretty grounds with outdoor spaces where folks can enjoy the fresh air, there's an outside patio garden, porches, and walking paths, even indoor options for exercise when the weather's bad, and the place has free parking for visitors and residents, as well as transportation services for shopping and appointments, with some trips complimentary and others costing a bit extra. Staff, like the concierge Linda Meyers, are known for being honest and caring, staying helpful around the clock since trained staff are available 24 hours a day, and there are monthly wellness visits from a nurse, plus regular family meetings so everyone stays in touch about care.
Sunrise of Edgewater provides many choices for living-there's independent living for active seniors who like being around others but don't want daily chores, assisted living if someone needs help with bathing or medication, skilled nursing care when health needs change, and even memory care with programs like the Reminiscence neighborhood, which local professionals speak well of for helping folks with Alzheimer's or other dementia by offering spaces and therapies that try to calm and keep them safe from wandering, and there's the Terrace Club for added support. People who want to stay at home can get Dignity Home Care with trained aides for companionship and help with daily things. There's also respite care for short stays and hospice care available, so folks can age in place without moving to another facility as their needs shift.
Meals happen restaurant-style in nice dining rooms or private rooms for families, with menus that think about low-sodium or low-sugar diets, and snacks available in between, aiming for three well-balanced meals each day. The kitchen uses good ingredients to keep up with needed vitamins and minerals. You'll see folks at the café or bistro, the beauty salon or spa, maybe soaking in the Jacuzzi, and there's a TV lounge for relaxing or a piano for activities and entertainment. Staff provide personal laundry every week, housekeeping, daily trash service, and handle building maintenance.
Resident life includes a lot of options: devotional services right at the facility, spiritual support, social groups, clubs, family programs, sensory-based activities like snoezelen to engage the senses, and scheduled community trips. There are special programs for people with vision problems and memory issues. Accommodations are gracious with a variety of floor plans, Wi-Fi reaches every corner, and the whole facility is accessible for wheelchairs. Staff get specialized training, and support comes from current research and knowledge about aging. Folks can expect care that fits them, from help with daily living to more advanced nursing if needed.
The place holds over 35 years of commitment to seniors' well-being, is licensed for skilled care, and continues earning attention for quality and new ideas in how to support older adults. Resident and family meetings help keep communication clear. The staff stick close to principles of service, and each resident's choices and comfort matter every day.
