    Beautiful facility, inconsistent care, caution

    I toured and lived through parts of this community - it's gorgeous, spotless, and feels like a five-star hotel with lots of activities, helpful amenities, and many genuinely caring staff. Food and dining have been inconsistent, costs are high, and there's a wait list. My biggest concern is inconsistent care: daytime teams can be excellent, but turnover, poor supervision, missed meds and troubling night-shift lapses (residents found on the floor, weak dementia support) are real risks. I'd recommend it for socially active seniors who need moderate help, but I would not choose it for advanced dementia or higher-risk care without clear changes to staffing and night supervision.

    About Hemsley House of McCandless

    Hemsley House of McCandless gives seniors many options for care, like Active Adult Living, Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Home Care, Adult Day Services, Skilled Nursing, Home Health Care, and Hospice Care, so someone can stay as their needs change, and the staff's there around the clock to help with things like medicine, blood sugar checks, or transfers, even for folks who need one-person or two-person assistance, mechanical lifts, or help with incontinence, and if someone's living with memory loss, the dedicated memory care space uses special bracelets and computer systems to prevent wandering and keep people safe. The community welcomes both men and women and lets residents keep dogs or cats, and the building's designed for easy access, with wheelchair-friendly showers plus indoor and outdoor common areas, private and semi-private rooms, a bistro, private dining spots for special events, communal eating spaces, and living areas with bedrooms and living rooms, all kept smoke-free indoors, and there's high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. The meals come from a professional chef, with restaurant-style dining and custom diets for those who need less salt or sugar. People can join in a lot of activities, like devotional services, art and stretching classes, lectures, trips, trivia games, Wii Bowling, and more, along with wellness programs that keep the body and mind working, and there's a beautician, along with dentist, podiatrist, doctor, nurse, and therapist visits, plus homecare services on site. Folks can have respite stays if they're just recovering and need short-term care, and the staff's known for being friendly, helpful, and kind, which is why the place has awards for personal care, memory care, and being a friendly community, and Hemsley House keeps up with all needed licenses and safety rules. There's parking for residents, free rides to appointments, Wi-Fi, and special programs like Gold Leaf Dining and companion services to help folks stay social and supported, so the whole environment aims to make sure people can age in place, stay as independent as they're able, and always have what they need close by.

Each of our communities maintains the mission laid out by Sunrise founders Paul and Terry Klaassen more than 40 years ago: to champion quality of life for all seniors. The Klaassens’ vision to redefine senior care resulted in a resident-centered approach to care that focuses on the individuality of each resident and has set the standard in the assisted living industry. We are defined by our people. Our team of serving hearts are guided by our mission, Principles of Service and Values – all of which help encourage independence, preserve dignity and enable freedom of choice for each resident.
