My dad was welcomed into the Sunrise family on day one of his arrival . Sunrise felt like home and became my dad's home . My dad had a little over 2 yrs in apt 207 . My only wish is that he could have enjoyed it longer .

Fabulous community with a caring staff and appealing and well-maintained common areas and apartments! I am really impressed by the thoughtful details behind their assisted living apartments for seniors. Careful consideration is taken to make sure that safely and security is a top priority. I highly recommend a tour to experience for yourself the friendly and professional staff and superior accommodations!

I have to say from the moment we toured this facility, the staff, the decor, the residents, and the house cat, we were able to tell that this was going to be a positive experience. Even though our LOVED one passed away quickly, between the staff and the management we were shown so much LOVE. THE LONGEVITY of the staff has a WHOLE lot to speak for itself. The cleansiness and the food was outstanding! All I can say, this place was INCREDIBLE and forever changed our mind when it came to the difficult decision to even find a place for her. Our mom was treated like she was a QUEEN and right at home! We were blessed by this facility with their love and care. Thank you again to each and every staff member that touched our mom's heart.

What we found at Sunrise on Vernier was a very caring, friendly staff that made my husband smile and relax. No-one ever refused to help when I asked for it, although at times we had to wait a bit but never long. It's been a hard time because of staff being hard to get and covid always a threat as it is anywhere. I want to say they tried very hard to keep things running smoothly.

I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to the entire Sunrise team. You are all wonderful and we appreciate you. Since moving in, my mom is happy again. She tells us that she is doing great and that the people there could not be nicer and she feels very comfortable and safe. She loves the caregivers! (We do, too!)
December 2021
I can’t say enough to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the ongoing vigilance, dedication and compassion of the staff at Sunrise Vernier. It has been my experience that everyone has worked tirelessly and flexibly through these extremely trying times. I truly thank God that my dearly loved Auntie is being cared for by the amazing women and men at Sunrise Vernier. Before the pandemic restrictions I travelled from Canada to Michigan each week to visit my Auntie D. I had the opportunity to experience the staff interact with residents over extended periods of time. I have always been very comfortable and very assured that my Auntie receives the very best care and very loving care. I highly recommend Sunrise Vernier without reservation.

My mother spent her last months as a resident of Sunrise on Vernier, in hospice care there, and was happier than than we'd seen her since our father passed away and she descended into dementia and Alzheimers. It isn't an exaggeration to say that she came alive and thrived there. She was clean, groomed, well dressed, well cared for, and occupied by "chatting" with the others there, the meals (which she ate with gusto), and the few other activities in which she could engage. I don't think she was ever just parked in her room - she was out doing things, if only sitting in the dining area and talking to others there. My sisters and I could not be more grateful for the superb care extended by not only the Sunrise staff but also the MedTeam Hospice staff. From the moment I walked into their lobby, I felt that this place was more like a home than an institution. My mother's room was bright and pleasant with a nice view. We furnished it with her own linens and furniture, and it was very welcoming. There had been a number of problems with her home care before we made the very difficult decision to move her into Sunrise, but as it turned out, all of the "transfer trauma" was ours and not our mother's. The combined Sunrise and Hospice staffs, especially the MedTeam coordinator (Shawn) and Sunrise medical/nursing manager (Lauren) immediately took over and made me feel that I was in professional and caring hands - and I was, or more particularly, my mother was. They and the other staff immediately dealt with pressing issues of my mother's cleanliness, safety in bed, and perhaps most important, socialization. She received a better wheelchair, dental care, flu shot, etc. My only regret is that we didn't move her much earlier. She was treated with dignity and respect. Some of the hands-on staff were outstanding. They gave birthday parties and went out of their way to make the stay as personal and cheerful as possible. No place is perfect and of course Sunrise has its issues - from my observation, it is mainly overwork from the top on down, combined with the constant challenge of getting good people who will care for the elderly, sick and mentally infirm with skill and kindness and for low pay. My perception was that the managers were spread too thin, and it wasn't possible to have a regular team in each shift assigned to each resident. All that said, the bottom line is that I can't imagine my mother getting better care anywhere else, and my sisters and I will be eternally grateful to the Sunrise and MedTeam staff for all they did for our mother. I highly recommend that facility.

The quality and service of care is exceptional. My mother has been there just over a year. I am grateful to have caring workers take care of my mother, especially in these trying COVID times. Thank you for your kindness, care and service.
October 2020
My mom has been here a year. It has been a very pleasant experience. She is well taken care of. They have kept everyone safe during this Covid time. The caregivers do a great job with the residents. Prior to Covid, they had many activities to keep the residents engaged. Highly recommend Sunrise on Vernier.
December 2019
Would not recommend this place... My relative was left many times with poor hygiene... the staff treat the family's with disrespect and they cover for their mistakes & lie for each other ... the management is terrible here if you plan on spending 7,000 to 8,000 as there annual fees for up yearly to 700.00 a month the next year and rake you for every penny and don't even take care of your loved ones they don't care if you complain the Management here about your relative & my relative began to spell because there staff were not making sure they were taking a shower and there staff make excuses and don't take responsibility for there wrongs.. don't put your loved one in here... trust me ... they hire getto staff that sit around the nurse aids and sit around and text on there phones, sit and chat and don't take care of your loved ones.. the management defends the staff and is not firm with them therefore they do what they want to do there... Don't put your loved one in here Horrible place..
December 2018
A relative liveD here (wheelchair-bound, incontinent, some memory loss). Notice past tense. The first year was great, smooth. The room was kept clean, our relative showered, the food and events were enjoyed... However, then the management changed, then a caregiver turnover, and things went very quickly downhill. It became a crisis situation of our relative being unsafe. We had to hire sitters while we looked for another place. It also became very expensive. The room rate kept going up when they couldn't rise rates any other way. Also, Maintenance did not do repairs to our heater-A/C in a timely way (extremely important!) It was completely unsustainable to keep our elder there...
June 2018
My mother is a resident, and she couldn't be in better hands. The entire staff is made up of kind, caring, patient, experienced individuals.
