Sunrise of Newtown Square brings together many different care options for older adults, with choices like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice, short-term stays, and even home care for those who need it. The community sits in a three-story building and makes life easier with features like wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs, elevators, and plenty of sitting areas and lounges, both indoors and outdoors, so folks can spend time where they feel comfortable. The building has a welcoming feel with easy-to-navigate hallways, wide windows bringing in lots of light, and fresh cut flowers often set out in the dining room. There's a mix of suite styles-studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and companion suites-so people can find what suits them best, and there's senior apartments for those who are more active and independent. There's support for seniors who need help with things like bathing, grooming, and medication, but caregivers always aim to let residents stay as independent as possible, and as care needs change, people don't have to move out of the community.
Meals are cooked by in-house chefs using fresh, local ingredients, with plenty of options for special diets or preferences-guests can join meals, and there are events like generational dinners and cookoffs to keep things interesting, plus a bistro offers snacks any time of day, and there are private dining rooms for family gatherings. Residents have access to a computer room, free Wi-Fi, a library, activity rooms, a beauty salon, and a peaceful garden with trellises and a porch for relaxing or socializing. Pets are welcome, and the community's own dog, Sunny, is known to be calm and friendly. Staff-including nurses and caregivers trained for senior care-are on-site all the time, offering support around the clock, and there's always someone at the front desk. Monthly nurse visits, weekly housekeeping, laundry, and trash removal make things easier for everyone, and transportation services-both complimentary and at a small cost-help residents get to appointments or enjoy outings, plus the building is on a busline and has parking for those who drive.
Memory care is available for residents dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementias, using special programs like Reminiscence and the Terrace Club, with secure areas, activity rooms, and lots of focus on safety and activities that keep the mind busy. For seniors at the end of life, hospice care supports both residents and their families, and respite care is there for short stays if a caregiver needs a break-sometimes for a day, sometimes for a few weeks. Devotional services, both on and offsite, support spiritual needs.
Residents stay busy with a calendar full of socials, exercise classes, music groups, and educational events, including cookoffs and family engagement activities, and there's a volunteer program to add even more options. Living here means less worry about chores and daily tasks, as staff handle the basics so folks can focus on their health, hobbies, or spending time with friends. Modern touches like the Sunrise CareConnect electronic health system and apps such as Smile® for keeping family updated, help families stay connected to their loved ones' daily lives. Sunrise of Newtown Square focuses on safety, comfort, and giving residents choices about how they want to live-whether that's living independently with a little help or having more support as their needs change.
