Sunrise of Vienna is a mid-rise assisted living facility with 85 beds, licensed as an ALF, offering a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences, and it allows pets, so seniors can bring their companions along or use the pet care services if needed, and there's also support for visiting pets. The building is modern with comfortable indoor and outdoor common spaces like patios, a cozy coffee shop, private and communal dining rooms, a bistro, a theater, a salon, a business center, and activity rooms set up for games, crafts, and clubs, but there's also a hydroponic micro-farm, scenic views, and water features, so folks can enjoy a bit of nature right at home. Residents have access to fitness and wellness programs including Tai Chi, yoga, balance activities, dance fitness, stretching, and group or personal training, and there's an aquatic hot tub spa for relaxation. The memory care area includes the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, giving specialized support to people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or memory loss through safe, secure environments and therapies that reduce confusion and keep people from wandering, and the staff is trained in aging, behavior support, medication, and chronic conditions, with nurses available part-time. The community provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice, short-term stays, and Dignity Home Care, and people get personalized care like medication reminders, bathing and dressing support, health monitoring, and regular checks as needed, and for mobility or personal care there are Hoyer lifts, wheelchair-accessible apartments, and transfer help.
