My mom moved to Sunrise in Orange over a year ago and she's really loving it! The facility is…read morebeautiful and modern, though like any new place, it has a few quirks. What really stands out to me is how dedicated the Executive Director and Staff are in keeping residents and their families in the loop. They go above and beyond to ensure that everyone is safe and well taken cared for. It's nice to know she's in such good hands! I truly appreciate how every member at Sunrise takes the time to know both my mom and me on a personal level. They are always quick to share any significant changes with me, whether they are positive or challenging. This open communication gives me a sense of trust in the staff, and I make it a priority to ensure that my voice is heard among them. I love how we collaborate as a team, caring for one another. I wholeheartedly recommend Sunrise Senior Living in Orange for anyone seeking a compassionate environment for their loved ones.

My mother has been an assisted living resident at Sunrise of Orange since 2024, which means she has…read morelived there for almost two years as of this writing. She was no longer able to live in her house due to safety concerns -- the steps posed a tripping hazard that led to broken bones, and the narrow hallways and misaligned doorways made it impossible for ambulance gurneys to access the bedrooms. Sunrise has been an excellent solution for my mom's situation, although it's not perfect. The best aspect for our family is the location; it is within walking distance of where my wife and I live, allowing us to visit frequently. My mother's second-floor studio unit overlooks the lake at Eisenhower Park, providing her with beautiful views of couples taking wedding photos, people fishing, ducks dabbling, and children playing. My mother constantly praises the staff, saying they are helpful and kind. While there have been a few employees she didn't like, they no longer work at Sunrise of Orange. The main long-term staffing issue we have observed is high turnover. I've heard that this is common in care facilities, but it can be confusing and disorienting for residents when favorite employees suddenly disappear. Previously, there was a significant shortage of help in the dining room, which resulted in frustrating wait times and the need to ask for assistance multiple times. Fortunately, the dining room has recently been adequately staffed, and my mom is pleased with the service. However, I do have some concerns regarding staffing "after-hours." From 8 AM to 8 PM, a concierge is available at the front desk, and there are plenty of caregivers for residents. The situation changes significantly from 8 PM to 8 AM; during those hours, there is no one at the front desk to unlock the door for visitors, and it may take five minutes or more for someone to respond if you call for access to your loved one. Similarly, if a resident needs assistance during those hours, there is only a skeleton crew working at night, so the few staff members are often tied up with other residents and cannot respond quickly. The best feature at Sunrise of Orange is its activities. My mom enjoys so many of them that she has been dubbed the "Queen of Activities" by some of the staff. As a highly social person, participating in activities and enjoying meals with new friends at Sunrise is crucial for her well-being. In addition to fun activities like games, music, and movies, there are exercise classes such as chair yoga and chair Tai Chi. Having a beautician on-site has also been extremely helpful. Since my mom uses a wheelchair and likes to have her hair done twice a week, it is a relief not to have to drive her to an off-site beautician and assist her with transfers every time she wants to feel pretty. Another beneficial aspect is the EmpowerMe Wellness facility on the second floor. The physical and occupational therapy staff at EmpowerMe help my mom retain her strength and coordination as she ages, which is critical for making transfers safer and reducing the risk of falls when she is alone. In the future, my mother will likely need to move to a room in one of the Reminiscence wings, which is Sunrise's terminology for Memory Care. Given the reduced capabilities of individuals with dementia, I assume the Reminiscence activities won't be as diverse and engaging as those in which my mother currently participates, but I hope they will be similarly satisfying for her when the time arrives.

I refuse to work with certain larger companies that have no idea who we are, and what kind of care we provide at our facility! Suad toured our facility long before her first referral to us. I can say that she handled everything personally and professionally in her dealings with the resident's family, and with our facility. She followed up with all parties and treated everyone with fairness, patience and respect. While many of our clients call us directly, it can be a great asset to have someone who has toured and knows these facilities - especially these days with Covid-19 restrictions - many facilities are not accepting people and not touring. I haven't named our facility as I'm not looking to self promote - but feel free to contact me on yelp if you have any questions about Doctors Choice, Placement agents in general, or senior care facilities - Best of luck to you in this search!

From the moment I first toured Forever Young, I was beyond impressed--it felt and smelled like a real home and was immaculately clean. William took the time to address all my questions and concerns thoughtfully, both in person and later during a conference call and follow-up tour with my siblings. We knew immediately that Forever Young was the best memory care home for our dad, and we added our name to the waitlist. As dad's disease progressed rapidly, we toured other residential and larger memory care facilities. Each visit only reaffirmed our decision to wait for Forever Young. During this period, William also provided valuable recommendations for equipment to help dad stay safe while he remained at home. Now, eight months into dad's residency at Forever Young our gratitude for William and his caregiving team has only deepened. The caregivers are genuine, kind, compassionate, and loving--truly exceptional. They know dad so well that they can anticipate his needs, which not only ensures outstanding care but also helps reduce his frustrations with his condition. The staff frequently send me pictures of dad participating in activities, which is such a comfort. Meals are carefully prepared to be both nutritious and tailored to the residents' preferences and abilities. Dad has the freedom to come and go and we can visit anytime. Knowing he is in a place where he is genuinely cared for and understood brings us immeasurable peace. There truly is no better place for dad to be.

His home was extremely clean and well kept. William was exceptionally resourceful - connecting me with proper professionals in the hospice and MediCal consulting arenas. This was especially important as we had no idea how to proceed with these services. In William's care and experienced advisement, my dad lived as well as anyone could in his situation. His end of life was filled with love and affection. The team was patient and loving to our family's accommodations as we navigated that terribly sensitive time in our lives. William is someone you will immediately bond with and keep a relationship with throughout time. That is how deeply impactful his approach and communication is with his families.
