My parents have been at Sunrise since August 2018. While it was hard to help them leave their home on 50 acres of family land, we supported their decision to downsize and live in a community that provides support and help when needed and is also close to two daughters homes. Sunrise is well kept and clean. The staff is always friendly and receptive when I visit. Mom and dad are still living independently in a nice two bedroom apartment but know that help and assistance is nearby in the building if, when needed. We know that assisted living and memory care may be needed in the future and know that it will be available at that time. We wont need to find another home for them. Thank you to the Sunrise Villa Tuckahoe staff and team members for taking such good care of our parents.

Hello, this is Jim Hanifer. My wife,Betty & I have been living here at the Sunrise Villa-Tuckahoe for 2.5 years. My first remarks will be for the period up to March 2020 when all our lives were turned up side down. Because of both of us being hospitalized at the same time it was necessary for us to give up our retirement house so very close to a 1700 acre lake better known as Swift Creek Reservoir. We had done some preliminary planning and had already chosen a realtor and a senior relocation coordinator that was chosen by our two daughters. We both were and are very comfortable with these 2 professional in our corner. After a 42 year career as a Global Property Claims Adjuster, I became very active in my earlier volunteer commitments. These had to do with assisting folks with serious cancer issues. Also having been a Eucharistic Minister for 35 years, I had visited numerous health care facilities. Thus when we toured this facility I was extremely impressed by the Cleanliness, the friendly staff and very tasty food. Also they provide a great amount of various activities (Movies, Happy Hours) Exercise classes and a host of other activities including field trips and transportation for medical appointments. As we settled in and started making new friends with both residents and staff I started to get a real comfort level. This was our new home and we are free to decorate and hang pictures etc in our apartment. As time went by friendships were improving and our staff always greets us like passing in the hall with a smile and addressing us by name. They genuinely have our well being as their goal. The staff covers several different phases like administration, Medical House Keeping, Food Service, Activities etc. If one has a problem the door is open always whether it be a medical , financial to openly discuss any concern. have developed my own little ministry here.I help newly arrived residents with some tips I have acquired over the years. I give the one of my cars with my phone numbers, Apt number and my e-mail.I do not force myself but most are happy to get some help when first moving in.It is in my chemistry to help people as in a earlier life I was b a life guard, Counselor and numerous volunteer gigs at the VA , American Cancer Society And a Volunteer firefighter for 16 years as our community had no Paid fire fighters.No facility can totally replace your home but Sunrise commits to creating a family relationship so that residents can maximize the benefits they provide. I without reservation would strongly endorse o0yr facility

My step mother who is suffering with Dementia, has been living at Sunrise Villa Tuckahoe since January of this year. The staff welcomed her and provided excellent care helping her to acclimate to her beautiful apartment which surprisingly took only 2 weeks. It was a great decision choosing Sunrise Villa Tuckahoe as they welcomed her dog which was key and was such a comfort to our family. Their team have handled the strict Covid 19 restrictions and have managed to keep their residents and staff safe during this very difficult time. 2020 will go down in history for many reasons but it has been so comforting to know our loved one is well cared for and most of all, happy with her new friends at Sunrise.

I moved my father into Gayton Terrace in 2012. He visited it frequently prior to moving in, in order to gather information. What impressed us was that whoever we asked to see would immediately come down to meet with us. This included the Director of Nursing, the Dietition, the Activities Director, and others. After moving in, my father regularly commented that he loved living there. I was watching for any inconsistencies in service, but never saw any. Until he passed later in the year, the staff was extremely conscientious and seemed to take a personal interest in his comfort and needs. No matter who I dealt with there, from the executive director to a housekeeper, everyone was willing to go out of their way to accommodate our wishes. The food was a big selling point in dads decision. He ate several meals there prior to moving in and was impressed that they werent too salty. I understand that Gayton Terrace went through a transition in management that was a little rocky. But the result was a facility that made the final period of my dads life a sheer joy. I encourage anyone who is looking to place a parent in assisted living to at least talk to someone at Gayton Terrace. I would also recommend that if your parent isnt too eager to move into assisted living, you tell them its like living on a cruise ship. Thats what I told my dad who wasnt thrilled about moving into assisted living. When he saw Gayton Terrace for himself, he immediately saw what I saw and couldnt wait to move in. Even though dads gone, I will still visit Gayton Terrace from time to time and stay in touch with the many friends I made there.
