John Russell Sunrise

John Russell Sunrise is a boutique residential care home dedicated to providing personalized assisted living services for seniors in a warm, family-like environment. Since its establishment in 2018, this care home has operated with a clear philosophy: every resident should receive all the attention and supportive care they need in a setting that feels just like their own home. Nestled within the secure, gated community of Bermuda Dunes Country Club, John Russell Sunrise offers both comfort and peace of mind, surrounded by a serene neighborhood with dedicated security measures.

Within its walls, John Russell Sunrise features four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, each welcoming residents into a tranquil and private living space. The home's intimate scale fosters close relationships among residents, caregivers, and the California-licensed administrator/owner. Live-in caregivers are on hand to attend to daily needs with compassion and professionalism. The care team takes pride in maintaining an exceptionally low caregiver-to-resident ratio—never exceeding 1 to 3—ensuring that each individual receives attentive, responsive support at all hours.

The mission at John Russell Sunrise centers on fostering community and belonging. Everyone involved strives to become an extended family for both residents and their loved ones. By treating each person with respect and kindness, the staff creates an atmosphere where residents can truly thrive and feel at ease. Prospective residents and their families are given the opportunity to discuss and assess their needs in detail, allowing for genuinely personalized care plans and living arrangements that suit each individual’s preferences and requirements. Through this collaborative approach, John Russell Sunrise continues its commitment to offering an exceptional assisted living experience deeply rooted in care, dignity, and comfort.
