Sunrise of Chandler provides assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, short-term stays, and hospice care, all in a peaceful and comfortable setting, and the building feels home-like, with cozy community areas, TV rooms, a sun porch, model living area, and pagoda gardens with garden pathways. Caregivers and nurses stay on-site 24 hours a day to help residents with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and other daily needs, including support for those needing light, medium, or heavy care, and staff also help with non-ambulatory needs, mechanical lifts, diabetic care, blood sugar checks, insulin administration, incontinence care, behavioral support, and medication reminders. Residents get personalized care plans and have access to on-site visiting doctors, nurses, physical therapists, occupational and speech therapists, dentists, and podiatrists, and the staff uses emergency call systems for extra safety, with specialized memory care using a secure, structured environment, a wandering alert system, and unique bracelets to prevent wandering, and they offer the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club for Alzheimer's and dementia support with memory-stimulating activities. The meals served are tasty, with restaurant-style options and both communal and private dining rooms, and special diets like low sodium, low sugar, or vegan can be arranged, and there's a full-time activity director planning activities ranging from arts and crafts, yoga, Tai Chi, and gardening clubs, to community service programs, trivia, karaoke, movie nights, outings, and live music.
