Sunrise at Silas Burke House sits in a peaceful neighborhood in Burke, Virginia. The community sits on a two-story campus with 105 beds, offering a safe and comfortable environment for seniors who need different levels of care. The building's designed for easy access, so its entry areas and walkways work well for those who use wheelchairs or have trouble getting around. There are independent living spaces for people who want to stay active and social, and assisted living apartments where trained staff help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication. For seniors who need more care, the facility provides skilled nursing services on site, while those living with memory challenges like Alzheimer's disease can receive special support in dedicated memory care areas, including the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, with activities that help keep minds active.
Residents find many amenities, including hair salons, art rooms, fitness and recreation spaces, and outdoor terraces with sitting areas and a fire pit. There's Wi-Fi throughout the building. Nutritious meals, including vegetarian options, are made on site using good ingredients, and the dining areas are open, bright, and friendly. The community lets residents bring their pets and has a close pets policy. For families and residents wanting to visit national landmarks, staff arrange private, guided sightseeing tours, and transportation services are always available for medical appointments or errands. Parking and air conditioning add comfort for everyone.
Mr. Andres Ulloa acts as the Executive Director and oversees a friendly and professional team that's received community awards for their care. Staff tailor care plans to each person, whether someone stays for a short-term respite or lives here full-time. Programs focus on wellness, independence, and activities both inside and outside the facility, including social gatherings, arts, and educational opportunities. The grounds include large sitting rooms, outdoor balconies, and plenty of common areas for group events or private moments. Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartment floor plans. Devotional services happen regularly, both on site and off. The building and campus support independence but offer help when health needs change, as Sunrise at Silas Burke House serves as a continuing care retirement community. Dignity Home Care aides provide extra in-home help, and hospice care is available if needed. Caregiver resources support both residents and their families when facing difficult times. With more than 35 years behind its approach, the community remains focused on a holistic view of senior well-being, all backed by research and practice in a familiar and welcoming setting.
