Sunrise of Braintree stands as a large Victorian-style mansion built in 2007, sitting in a quiet area with green lawns, lush landscaping, and a covered entryway where visitors can sit under shade before going inside, and the place has gardens with brick walkways, a pergola, and peaceful patio seating, so you get the sense there's always somewhere pleasant for folks to go outdoors. The building has comfortable living suites and inviting common areas with full carpeting, large windows, soft lighting, cozy couches, cable TV, emergency call systems, and individual climate control for privacy and comfort, along with accessible bathrooms fitted with grab bars and teal accents for safety and ease. The private assisted living bedrooms have plenty of space, soft lights, and big windows, while the kitchenettes and large private baths make the apartments easy to use for people who need a bit of help.
Staff offer several kinds of care depending on what each person needs. They use personalized service plans to help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and there are monthly wellness visits by nursing staff too. For those who need memory care, there's the Reminiscence Program and Compass Memory Support Neighborhood, both built around familiar routines, safe spaces, and activities that help people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia keep their dignity and well-being. The staff includes people trained for dementia care, and they keep a friendly and caring attitude, always checking on folks with 24-hour support and regular housekeeping, weekly laundry, and daily trash pickup.
There's a bistro with warm decor and a beverage counter for coffee or tea, a formal dining area with soft lighting and polished tables, inviting private dining rooms for memory care residents, and a lounge with a TV at the ready for movie nights. The library is cozy and stocked with books, and the common areas like the grand two-story foyer, living room, and spa-like seating spots give residents different places to gather or spend a quiet moment. The whole community is pet-friendly, so residents can have their animal friends, and they offer regular shuttle transportation, easy access to public transit, and visitor parking.
Residents can join in things like arts and crafts, coffee klatches, baking, gardening, and exercise classes if they feel like it, and there's always something happening that helps everyone stay busy and social, either indoors or outside on the grounds. Meals are made with attention to nutrition and taste, meant for different dietary needs and preferences. Sunrise of Braintree is part of the larger Sunrise Senior Living organization, which keeps standards high and keeps the facility licensed and verified as an active partner in senior care. They offer assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, short-term stays, hospice care, and Dignity Home Care, so families can look for any level of help needed-whether it's for a short stay or long-term living.
There's a focus on building relationships and making personalized care plans, so the staff try to get to know everybody well and create a peaceful place that helps people feel at home. The whole environment-whether in the Compass Memory Support Neighborhood, the Reminiscence Program, or general assisted living-aims to reduce confusion and offer support, with modern safety features and spaces for social life, activities, and family engagement. The community tries to bring a little bit of cheer, warmth, and comfort to daily living, making it possible for seniors to live safely and stay as independent as possible, while loved ones can visit, see the daily life, and join in when time allows.
