A very warm reception, everything was explained very well and tour was exceptional. The facility is so clean, the grounds are beautiful and safe, and there is so much activity for the residents, such a positive environment. I also was pleased that several staff members have worked there for many years.

Frustrated

Define the difference between memory care and physical need. Look at the size of the facility look at turnover and staff look at price. Look at staff/patient ratio look at location.

Definitely overall I would recommend- not perfect but nice

I thought the staff was very caring and the admin for the most part were very responsive. Sometimes a shortage of staff or if alert button was pressed-could take up to 30 minutes for someone to check the status of why it was pressed. My dad would fall transferring from wheel chair to chair and would end up on the floor and would lay there for a bit before someone came in . There were nice activities and off site lunches and visits to library etc. there was onsite barber which was nice. Pricing was based on a point system which would be the main negative. Could also add that the facility was very inviting and warm. Others I had visited were "cold". Long empty hallways.

- A Caring Place for my dad

We were quite happy with them even though my dad was not there for long. My dad was only there for 9 days until he passed away. He was in hospice and they took him in with the knowledge that he would be there for a short time.

Initially we had a great positive impression. Building, all staff being friendly, responsiveness. As we started the process of contracting, we had to discover for ourselves the additional costs -- level of care fee was by DAY vs. other places have only monthly fee, additional fee charged to administer meds--and based on type of meds, i.e. eye drops --this is not typical to other places. Though the front end fee was gifted, besides the base room rent fee, the level of care (currently at 1, they evalutated at 2), the total starting cost was close to $[removed]/month. We asked for the breakdown in writing, which was never given. The additional costs were shared upon several calls, but nothing in writing. Also they were unkind and indescent NOT to reimburse the majority of the deposit. I felt as though we were being discouraged by using all the additional line by line fees due to our cultural background. I will NOT recommend this site.

We loved it!

We toured Sunrise of Columbia and we loved it! It seemed to be well run and clean with a supportive and friendly staff. We didn't choose this facility for two reasons: the cost and the lack of on site dialysis. We really preferred it, though.

Amazing staff

I give Sunrise of Columbia 5 plus stars, the experience was great. The staff are just fabulous, each and every one of them. They are super caring and accommodating. A lot of places the staff turnover rate is high, but here I found that a lot of the staff had been here 15-20 years so they really care about what they are doing. I would not place family members anywhere else but Sunrise and would HIGHLY recommend the facility to others.

Tips for evaluating your community options.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Maryland’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Maryland’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
