Sunrise at Hunter Mill sits in a quiet area with lots of green around, where tall trees shade outdoor patios filled with comfortable chairs, and there's a wooden pergola, a birdbath, and a fence that make the garden space feel private and peaceful. Walking into the building, you'll see a big two-story foyer with an elegant staircase, soft chairs, and classic touches, and plenty of natural light comes in through big windows. Folks living here can pick from many options, like independent living if they don't need much help, assisted living for a little extra support with daily tasks, memory care if they have Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, short-term respite stays, skilled nursing for extra care, and hospice support as well, and the care's adjusted for what each person needs as time goes on.
The rooms for assisted living offer cozy chairs by the window, warm beds, and soft bedside lights, and memory care has its own special area with sitting spots, soft armchairs, and gentle lighting coming through the windows, and there's even a separate dining room in memory care with soft lighting and a piano for some gentle music. People can relax in TV lounges, activity and meeting rooms, or the living rooms with fireplaces, and there's a private dining room too. Sunrooms have wicker seats and big windows that keep the air fresh and bright, and raised gardening beds in the courtyard let folks garden if they'd like. The café, barber shop, beauty salon, and even a computer room are on site, so residents don't have to go far for most things they need, and there's free high-speed internet for everyone. Pets are welcome, and everything's made to be easy to get around in for those who might use walkers or wheelchairs.
Staff stay close and know how to help, whether that's reminders about medicine, lending a hand with bathing, or just being around for someone to chat with, and they use a family engagement app that keeps loved ones updated with pictures and messages. Residents can join in crafts, devotional services, educational and social games, or offsite trips, and the kitchen can handle special diets like low sugar or low salt, and there's both room service and a regular dining room for meals. Laundry, dry-cleaning, and housekeeping services are available, making daily life less of a worry, and full tubs and help with bathing are part of what's offered. Complimentary transportation is provided for outings or appointments, or residents can take their own cars and park on site. For families who need a break or when someone is recovering from surgery, short-term respite stays are available.
Memory care programs, like Reminiscence and Terrace Club, help reduce confusion and keep folks safe from wandering too far, and staff follow a personalized approach, trying to make each person feel seen and cared for every day, and the whole place is set up to help people stay as long as they want, even as care needs change. There are over 75 beds for residents, and Sunrise at Hunter Mill works as a big community, linking up with resources through VirginiaNavigator and other statewide networks, and there's a wide library of helpful guides, events, and articles on topics like health, finance, legal matters, veteran's benefits, and more, and people can use this directory for support. The community keeps a simple, welcoming feeling, with spaces made for both quiet moments and friendly gatherings, aiming to make life a little easier and a little brighter for older adults.
