Sunrise of Richmond

Sunrise of Richmond sits at 1807 North Parham Road in Richmond, VA, and it's been a steady part of Sunrise Senior Living for over 35 years, always focusing on making life comfortable for seniors with a real home-like feeling and friendly staff who've been there a long time and know the residents well, which really gives the place a relaxed family atmosphere. The building is one story with three cottages, all on a ranch-style layout to make it easy to get around, and it has seventy beds in its Assisted Living Facility, so everyone gets a good mix of community and quiet space with their own suites, furnished kitchenettes, and private bathrooms. The staff, all trained and experienced, stay on site around the clock and really get to know the residents, helping out with the little things and bigger needs thanks to several care options, everything from Assisted Living, Memory Care programs like the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, to Hospice Care, Dignity Home Care, Short-Term Stays, Skilled Nursing, and Independent Living, plus respite care for times when family needs a break. Residents can bring their pets, enjoy cable or satellite TV, emergency call systems, and the regular housekeeping and laundry services, which helps keep things easy. There's air conditioning and it's all wheelchair accessible, with plenty of parking for visitors, restrooms, and transportation for outings and activities, and they've got daily activities and outings, scheduled group trips, and a clubhouse just for residents. People living with Alzheimer's or other memory issues benefit from special programs and a safe, well-thought-out neighborhood. The facility welcomes support from families and connects with VirginiaNavigator, SeniorNavigator, disAbilityNavigator, VeteransNavigator, and the Lindsay Institute websites, plus its resource directory with more than 26,000 programs really helps folks find local and national services. Amenities like beauty and barber services, a cozy lounge, a library, and restaurant-style dining round things out, while the personalized care plans focus on each resident's own wants and needs, with wellness programs, personalized services and help for daily routines, always aiming for a balance of peace of mind and independence. Sunrise of Richmond uses what they've learned over decades, including recent research in aging, and doesn't leave folks feeling like just a number, with managers and staff who are responsive, helpful, and keep the community friendly and supportive for everyone. Residents and families both get plenty of ways to keep involved and feel supported through all stages of senior living.
