Sunrise on Connecticut Ave sits in a mid-rise building, with a welcoming lobby where visitors can sit and talk. Residents have plenty of choices for where to spend their time, whether on the porch or in the garden, up on the seventh-floor rooftop garden with park-like views, or out on the patios and balconies that overlook the city. There are several comfortable gathering spaces like a fireside chat area, a card and game room for Bridge, and a library with reading materials, so residents always have places to relax or visit with friends. The community includes independent living, assisted living, memory care in a secured building, skilled nursing, and continuing care, so seniors can stay even as their care needs change. Residents can pick from studio, one-bedroom, companion suites, and even two-bedroom floor plans, all with large windows, full bathrooms, and easy kitchenettes, making each apartment feel roomy and practical.
Staff are on site and awake 24 hours a day, with nurses and a doctor available, and there's a system that alerts staff if a resident wanders. The memory care program, Reminiscence, provides special care and safety for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, offering personalized support and activities that match each person's needs. Residents get help with daily activities like bathing or dressing, plus medication management and reminders as needed. The team is set up to care for those with heavier needs, including people who need help with most or all of their daily activities, have major behavior issues, or are prone to wandering and elopement, since the property is secure and designed for safety. The community can also support diabetes care, including insulin shots, and has services for people needing hospice care and short-term stays.
