Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community, commonly referred to as Sunrise of Columbia, receives a mixture of positive and high praise with a few concerns primarily focused on its cost. Many reviewers expressed satisfaction with the cleanliness, welcoming nature, and professionalism of the staff. The community is often described as beautiful, well-maintained, with a homey feel, and several reviewers emphasized the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Programs and activities such as music programs, crossword puzzles, exercise classes, and outings are well-regarded, contributing to a lively and engaging environment for residents. The dining options are also highlighted positively, with mentions of the variety and presentation of food, even though one reviewer found the food similar to what one might buy at Costco.
However, the cost of living in this community is a recurring concern among reviewers. While many describe the facility as upscale and appreciate the services, amenities, and the experienced staff, some found it more expensive than other places they considered, which affected their decision even if they preferred it for other reasons. The lack of on-site dialysis was a specific drawback for one family. Yet, despite these concerns, the overarching sentiment is that this is a caring, vibrant community with a wealth of activities and a strong emphasis on resident engagement and satisfaction. The long tenure of the staff is often seen as indicative of a commitment to quality care and a supportive community environment.
