Sunrise of Westtown is a senior living community with Victorian-inspired architecture, landscaped gardens, and a peaceful porch with wicker chairs that look out over the grounds, so residents can sit outside and watch the world go by or take a walk along the paved paths if they want fresh air and exercise, and there's a bistro and a coffee shop where you'll often find people talking, having a snack, or listening to piano music. The building's multi-floor layout includes a spacious lobby and open living areas, with cozy common rooms featuring fireplaces, soft chairs, bookshelves, a TV, and places to gather for activities or quiet moments, and the indoor and outdoor common areas are set up for both socializing and private comfort, whether that's in the fitness room, the craft room, or the sitting rooms with plenty of light. Options for living spaces are flexible, from studio and one-bedroom to semi-private and two-bedroom layouts, some with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and some come furnished while others are unfurnished, so residents can choose what fits them best, and all include features for safety like handlebars in bathrooms, plush carpeting, individual climate control, and emergency call systems, with accessible accommodations using things like Hoyer lifts and mobility assistance.
Sunrise of Westtown provides several types of care, including assisted living, memory care through the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, skilled nursing care, independent living, respite stays, hospice care, and even Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) services for those who want to stay in one place as needs change, with a 21-year-old minimum for residency. Staff includes nurses, aides, and managers trained in a wide range of topics-like diabetes care, heart health, memory care, rehabilitation, medication management, and nutrition-and there's someone awake and available 24/7 to help or answer emergencies, alongside visiting healthcare professionals such as podiatrists and dentists. There's also medication monitoring, continence care, and assistance with daily activities like dressing, bathing, eating, and mobility, with support for residents who need anything from light to heavy care, though those with incontinence need to manage it themselves but are given reminders.
Safety and security are a priority throughout Sunrise of Westtown, since the community uses controlled building access, security systems, emergency call buttons, medical alerts, and safety checks, and the memory care area is fully secured to prevent wandering-so residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, including those with behavioral challenges, have their needs met in a setting aimed at preserving dignity and familiarity. Features like fall prevention programs and on-site therapies-physical, occupational, speech, and more-help residents stay as healthy and independent as possible, and staff design personal care plans for each resident, using Designated Care Managers and Life Enrichment Managers who get to know everyone personally.
Meals are served all day, with options for eating in the dining room, the bistro, or in private rooms, as well as meal delivery and guest meals for visitors, plus menus for special diets like low sugar or low salt, vegetarian options, light snacks, and both fine and casual dining choices, all prepared by a professional chef. Residents don't have to worry about chores, since the maintenance and housekeeping teams handle laundry, linens, trash, and room upkeep, and those who want more free time can use the transportation service for shopping and outings or take the bus-line nearby, with resident parking provided.
Sunrise of Westtown has daily activities meant to keep residents engaged, including arts and crafts, flex and stretch exercises, trivia, movie club, music with piano time, seasonal and holiday events, scenic outings, wellness programs, and devotional services like the rosary, plus spiritual and educational programs and organized social events. The community encourages family and friends to visit, with flexible hours, and staff organize tours for those curious about joining. There's a beauty salon on site, high-speed Wi-Fi and cable TV in all units and common areas, meeting rooms, and a music room for entertainment.
Residents can have small pets, though large dogs and birds aren't allowed, and Sunrise of Westtown supports both privacy and community, offering a range of help so people can age in place as their needs change. Payment options include private pay, veteran's benefits, social security, and long-term care insurance or benefits, although Medicaid isn't accepted, and fees vary by care level, room type, and whether two people share a unit. With over 35 years of experience, Sunrise of Westtown aims to keep residents safe, maintain their quality of life, and provide a comfortable home where they can enjoy familiar routines or try something new, all in a welcoming environment.
