Sunrise Community 3

Sunrise Community 3 offers senior care in a community that feels safe and supportive, with a focus on helping older adults and people with intellectual disabilities live as fully as possible, and while there aren't many flashy extras here, the basics are covered well since residents get both assisted living and memory care services, so those with Alzheimer's or dementia have programs tailored just for them, and there's around-the-clock staff who help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and moving from one place to another, plus housekeeping, laundry, and cooked meals-including food for people with allergies or diabetes, and there are furnished rooms ready to move into, all set within a building that's got safety features for anyone who needs a little extra care, so there are things like emergency alert systems and non-ambulatory assistance. Folks can enjoy community meals in the dining room, chat in shared spaces like The Fountain or The Jefferson, and take part in regular activities, whether it's movie nights, gardening, or other social events. People here benefit from transportation arrangements so it's easier to get to doctor appointments or outings, and there's scheduled recreation and community-led activities to keep everyone engaged, plus walking paths and gardens for fresh air or a stroll. The place is certified by CMS and Medicaid and includes 120 licensed beds, offering intermediate care for those with intellectual disabilities, and it's set up to help people keep control of their lives, feel some sense of purpose each day, and live as part of a friendly neighborhood, since staff stay in touch with both residents and their families, and there's an option for short-term respite care when primary caregivers need a break. The dining options nearby are handy too, with a community cafe and a barbecue spot close by, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible and welcoming to English speakers, so it's a straightforward, honest choice for those seeking a simple yet attentive living environment in later life.

Sunrise Community 3 is managed by Sunrise Senior Living.

Founded in 1981 by Paul and Terry Klaassen in Oakton, Virginia, Sunrise pioneered the Victorian mansion-style senior living community design, inspired by Dutch senior care models and European hospitality concepts.
