Sunrise of Highland Park has been working with seniors for more than 35 years, offering a homelike environment with many kinds of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, adult day care, and home health care, and they've got a good name for supporting those with mild cognitive deficits and Alzheimer's. The community centers around safety, comfort, and keeping independence as much as possible, so residents have private or companion suites, some with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, and staff watch over everyone with medication monitoring, health checks, and an emergency call system in each unit. The facility has amenities like full tubs, wheelchair-accessible showers, laundry, housekeeping, dry-cleaning, and free Wi-Fi, plus places to gather like the arts and crafts center, TV lounge, cafe, and even a piano and organ that some enjoy when they're passing time with neighbors in common rooms with fireplaces. Folks can spend time outside when the weather is nice, with outdoor patios, walking paths, gardens, and an enclosed courtyard for those who might wander, and pets are welcome too.
There's plenty to do, with an activity calendar packed with social, educational, and wellness programs, plus special memory care programs like the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and staff give help with eating, bathing, and dressing when needed. The dining options include a restaurant-style dining room, room service, and other special dining programs, and they serve all sorts of diets-vegetarian, vegan, low salt, and low sugar meals, whatever the doctor has recommended. Residents have access to beautician and barber services right on site, grocery shopping assistance, and regular outings or transportation available for appointments, errand runs, and local religious services, with a chaplain and rabbi visiting and both Jewish and Catholic services offered.
Sunrise of Highland Park keeps trained staff on hand, gives caregivers special training, and supports folks with hospice and respite care if needed, always looking to help people live with purpose, keep their privacy, and enjoy as much independence and comfort as possible, and over the years, the community has aimed to balance individual wants with security and support for whoever calls it home.
