Sunrise of Lafayette Hill stands as a warm and friendly place for older adults, where people find both comfort and care in a three-story building surrounded by landscaped grounds and an inviting front porch with rocking chairs and a nice peaceful view, and when you walk in, that grand two-story foyer with a broad staircase and reception areas greets you, and down the hall you'll notice community rooms with cozy fireplaces, TVs, comfortable seating, and a bistro for snacks or a cup of coffee with friends, so it feels familiar and welcoming. Residents can choose between studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments-some with views of greenery and accessible bathrooms that include safety features like grab bars, full tubs, and wheelchair-accessible showers, which can really make daily life simpler and safer, and the place offers pet-friendly policies so you don't have to part with your animal friends.
There's a wide range of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care-with specialized spaces such as the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club-plus skilled nursing, adult day care, home care, respite care, and hospice services, so people can age in place and get help as their needs change, and the staff, who are friendly and fully trained, are there every day and night to help with bathing, dressing, eating, medication, and anything else, and nurses and a doctor are on call, which brings peace of mind. Folks who live at Sunrise of Lafayette Hill have access to social gatherings, religious services for Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, and other faiths (with a visiting chaplain), arts and crafts, a piano and organ, a library, TV lounge, fitness programs, scheduled group trips, resident clubs, and other activities organized by a full-time activity director who works hard to keep everyone's days full and interesting, and there's snoezelen sensory programming for those who need a calming space.
Dining happens in bright, restaurant-style rooms with flowers on the tables and natural light, and residents can sit with friends, choose from several menu options, and they'll get up to three meals a day with attention to special diets like low salt or low sugar, and if you want to host a family gathering, there's a private dining room available. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning keep things easier, and there's an onsite beauty salon and barber plus extra common spaces indoors and out, with secure courtyards and a covered patio with comfortable wicker chairs under a pergola for anyone wanting some sunshine.
Sunrise of Lafayette Hill is highly focused on senior safety and health, with state-of-the-art systems like electronic records (Sunrise CareConnect), wandering alerts using bracelets, and a computerized notification system in case someone tries to leave a safe area, which is especially helpful for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia who live in a locked memory care building with custom programs, brain-stimulating activities, and a caring staff who know how to help people who wander or show difficult behaviors. The community can handle people who use wheelchairs, need mechanical lifts, or have other complex health requirements, including insulin injections or blood sugar checks, and if behavior becomes a challenge, there's support for that too.
Residents can use both a free bus service and transportation for group trips, the property sits close to bus lines making it easier for visitors or appointments, and the staff can even coordinate telehealth visits to help people avoid outside doctor trips. Having Wi-Fi and internet access is handy, and the building remains welcoming to families and guests. Over the years, Sunrise of Lafayette Hill has earned many national quality awards, and every day the team aims to provide care that respects each person's wants and needs with a holistic approach. The philosophy at Sunrise is to help people keep their independence as long as possible, while offering support when they need it-maybe with daily reminders or all the way up to skilled nursing or hospice, depending on what's going on, so there's peace of mind for both residents and their loved ones.
