The community is wheelchair accessible and fully air-conditioned, with covered parking for visitors and restrooms onsite.

Residents can pick studio or one-bedroom apartments, and the community accommodates those who like independence but still want help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, plus the staff provide help with reminders for grooming and meals.
Sunrise at Bon Air has services for people with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia, including a secure memory care area, expert dementia care, electronic wristband alarms, and computerized systems that alert staff if someone tries to leave a safe area, along with specialized memory care programs like Reminiscence and skilled nursing available if health needs change. The community will accept residents at risk of wandering or with physical or behavioral issues, offering structured activities, safety features, and constant staff supervision 24 hours a day. For things like moving between bed and chair, staff will help, whether it's a standby, one-person, or two-person transfer, and there are lifts for those who need them.
Meals are included every day, cooked by a professional chef, with options for special diets like low-sodium or low-sugar, and there's a private dining area for guests too, with snack and beverage options throughout the day. The community is entirely nonsmoking, with no smoking anywhere inside the building, and has beautician services, laundry, housekeeping, and transportation all included for residents who want or need them.
