Sunrise Apartments

Sunrise Apartments provides housing where residents have access to staff and support services aimed at meeting daily needs, and meals are served onsite so folks don't have to worry about cooking if they'd rather not. The building itself has a modern look on the outside, but the inside focuses on comfort, with spacious living areas and kitchens that are practical and ready for use, and there are several floor plans to fit different ways of living. The community has common areas where people gather for activities, or just to talk, and meals are served in a dining setting. Sunrise Apartments gives people opportunities to be active with on-site activities for social, mental, and physical engagement, and there are trips to places off the property, so everyone has chances to get out for a change of pace. Devotional activities are organized as well for those who want spiritual connection. The staff is there to help with things like incontinence care, diabetic care, and support for those who need help moving about. Sunrise Apartments is associated with Landmark, which used to be Norman County West High School, and this gives residents access to a Community Education, Fitness and Recreation Center, making it a place where people can stay connected and work on self-sufficiency. The design tries to balance new features with what people actually need, and it's meant to be a cozy spot for folks to call home.
