My mother has been a resident at Sunrise on Vernier for approximately six (6) and we love it. "Queen Mum" is safe, clean, has friends, well fed, and engaged in various activities. The staff (Kylea, Carmen, Abria, Patsy, Angie and Sharon) keep open the lines of communication at times with us and go beyond their normal duties to make sure my mom and her family are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. There is nothing too small for them to do for her or for us.

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.

Kudos to the staff of Sunrise Living on Vernier. I have had a connection with this facility for a number of years and the entire establishment always runs like a well-oiled machine. The physical appearance of the entire building is meticulous. All the staff, from management to support staff, treat all residents with respect,, kindness and compassion. Sunrise on Vernier offers every opportunity for residents to live the best life possible. Thanks to all directly associated with Sunrise Living on Vernier for offering continual quality of life to all who live there.

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!)

I cant 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.

I have worked closely with the staff at Sunrise Vernier to facilitate hospice care for Sunrise residents over the past several years. I found the Sunrise Vernier staff to deliver care with the compassion of an extended family. They have consistently placed the needs and safety of the Sunrise family above all. I has been my honour and pleasure to work with this team to facilitate hospice care to our shared residents.

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.

My mother spent her last months as a resident of Sunrise on Vernier, in hospice care there, and was happier than than wed seen her since our father passed away and she descended into dementia and Alzheimers. It isnt 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 dont 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 mothers 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 mothers. 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 mothers 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 didnt 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 wasnt possible to have a regular team in each shift assigned to each resident. All that said, the bottom line is that I cant 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.

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.

I have been associated with Sunrise on Vernier for over 12 years. They have been a very professional and caring organization since the first day I visited. Their care of residents with dementia is exceptional, and they do so many things to bring a quality of life to their community. Their physical plant is very welcoming and they work very hard to provide a homey atmosphere that is reminiscent of the residents former homes. The management and staff are also very active in the community in sponsoring educational programs to educate families and professionals. I would highly recommend them to anyone searching for a community for their loved one.

I have worked closely with this facility providing hospice care with over the last year to many patients. The collaboration and team work from everyone involved in patients cases along with families is amazing. The patients, families and collaborating companies are treated with respect and dignity. The Medical Team Hospice is happy to continue this relationship with the Sunrise Vernier team.

I just started my new LEM position. I am very excited and impressed with the wonderful staff and management team at Sunrise of Vernier. The facility is simply beautiful with a warm and inviting environment. The ED and management team appear to be very involved and noticeably care very much about the Residents and community as a whole. The Residents appear very content, engaged with staff and each other enjoying recreational activities provided daily. Additionally, the Residents present as clean, dressed nicely, well kept and comfortable in a homelike environment. I am very much looking forward to my future here as a Sunrise team member!

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..

My mother is doing pretty good here at this community. So far everything is working out very well, and I'am pleased with her move here. The community is well maintained. They do a good job with keeping her room and the facility nice and clean. The staff is good, they are very attentive to my mother and her needs. There are a few activities available for the residents. She is pleased with the meals. I know she is safe and receiving good care here. This is community I would recommend, it is a nice place.

The staff at Sunrise on Vernier is truly caring. They are kind, competent, and attentive. From day one, I knew that my dad was in good hands. I was really worried about having to put him in a facility, but I have no regrets. He is receiving the best care possible, short of actually being at home. I would highly recommend Sunrise to anyone looking for a place for their loved one to call home when the demands imposed by their condition make staying at home impossible.
