    Warm, homelike care; minor issues

    I placed my mom at Sunny Days and overall I'm very happy: warm, personable staff and an amazing executive director, cozy apartment with a private bath, very good food, engaging activities (bingo, chair exercises, arts & crafts, library), effective med administration, and a truly homelike, caring community where my mom improved. There have been staffing shortages/turnover and occasional cleaning/hygiene issues to watch for, but I trust the team and would recommend Sunny Days.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews for Sunny Days Assisted Living Facility is predominantly positive, with repeated praise for the staff, leadership, facilities, and resident experience. Many reviewers describe the staff as friendly, warm, caring, personable, and helpful; several single out the Executive Director as "amazing" and effective. Multiple families report that their relatives are well taken care of, have improved, and enjoy the community. Communication with families is noted as a strength, with staff keeping relatives informed through updates. The facility is frequently described as clean, well-maintained, cozy, intimate, and homelike — attributes that contribute to a positive and familial atmosphere that many residents and families appreciate.

    Care quality and clinical aspects receive strong endorsements in several reviews. Reviewers mention effective medication administration and planned occupational therapy services. There are testimonials of residents receiving good care and families expressing trust in Sunny Days for adult care needs. Volunteer programming and faith-based engagement (volunteering opportunities with chaplains and church) are mentioned as value-added offerings that enhance community life for residents. A discounted rate is noted in at least one summary, which may be appealing to some families.

    Dining and activities are prominent positive themes. Numerous reviewers report very good or delicious food and praise the dining experience. The activities program appears robust and varied — examples include ball games, chair exercises, arts and crafts, coloring, bingo, and a library — and residents are described as engaged and happy with the available programming. These offerings contribute to an active, social environment and a "happy residents" perception.

    Despite the generally favorable picture, there are consistent and notable concerns that merit attention. Staffing instability is a recurring theme: several summaries mention staff shortages and turnover, and one specifically notes that the activities coordinator left with an uncertain replacement. These staffing challenges can affect continuity of care and programming. A few reviews flag cleaning needs and at least one review alleges serious hygiene problems (lice) and unprofessional behavior, and that particular reviewer also reported poor meals and expressed frustration with perceived state inaction. These negative reports appear isolated relative to the volume of positive comments but are nonetheless serious and suggest variability in service quality or issues that may have occurred at specific times.

    The overall pattern suggests Sunny Days is generally strong in creating a warm, well-kept, community-oriented environment with engaged staff and varied activities, led by a widely praised executive team. However, potential residents and families should be aware of mixed reports regarding staffing stability, occasional cleanliness/hygiene concerns, and inconsistency in meal quality reported by a small number of reviewers. Before making a placement decision, it would be prudent to ask the facility about current staffing levels, turnover rates, how they have addressed any past hygiene complaints, who is coordinating activities now, and to arrange a meal visit and tour to confirm the current state of dining, cleanliness, and programming. Overall, many families recommend Sunny Days and report positive outcomes, but the reviews indicate that quality may fluctuate in specific operational areas, so direct, up-to-date verification is advisable.
