My mom was only here for a short time before she passed, sadly. But during that time she was more social and positive than I’d seen her in a long time. The caregivers were very kind and communicative, the activity coordinators were welcoming, and the managers were always available. I would highly recommend this place!

All low scores derive from lack of leadership. My father spent 10 days in bed because managers wouldn't take the time to explain to my step-Mother why they needed a Hoyer lift, advertised activities didn't happen because there was no accountability that required on floor staff to lead them. When I shared my concerns with the former ED he said "well no one else is complaining". It was a memory care floor, if patients did remember to complain who would listen? As you can see I was not a happy customer.

I would recommend, but like most places they have a staffing issue that needs to be addressed. I picked this community because of the location.

Since moving to Sunrise my aunt has flourished. She has gone from telling people that she had been kidnapped to enjoying her stay and to be able to socialize, her favorite thing to do. She has gone from a frightening 96lbs. Person to a healthy 107lbs. This has been a very positive experience for her and a wonderful fit. I can’t say enough positive things about the staff, friendly, supportive, empathetic and caring.

The ratio of men:women was higher than at other places we visited. Residents seemed very friendly. Environment was very pleasant, with a nice garden space out back. Security was good without being intrusive. Staff was really very helpful.I would highly recommend it.

The location of Sunrise of Arlington is good, and the community was clean. Also we found the activities coordinator to be wonderful. However it just felt sad, with few staff who seemed to care for the residents. It was a blessing that [name removed] was unaware. We would recommend the downstairs part.

Generally the experience we had with Sunrise of Arlington was OK. However, I am still being billed with no itemization or explanation after having been told that our balance was 0. I would tell others looking into Sunrise to make sure that your bills will be itemized when received. I would recommend only depending on what alternatives may be available. There were some staff that who were outstanding. I would like to give special thanks to [name removed], the concierge.

Find another place. This one is terrible. I’m afraid to post this because I fear they will take it out on her. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Find another place. Find another place. Go Find another place.

I wouldn't recommend the community to others. We were told that we would get services during the tour and this wasn't fulfilled. Once we arrived to move in our loved one there was no one to welcome us, or answer our questions. They stated they would provide the care, and my loved one wasn't able to move out of the bed for several days. I believe they are short staffed, as I saw three staff members when it takes 2 members to assist with some residents and lifting. The staff that were caring did a wonderful job. There was a constant issue that we had with my loved one not having the assistance in getting to the bathroom. There were times they wouldn't come get my loved one out of bed, and the Aides made this determination and not a nurse and this was concerning to the family as well. The meals were okay. The community wasn't able to follow dietary restrictions for our loved one. A resident was able to receive five glasses of orange juice and they were diabetic, this was extremely concerning.

The facility is pleasant and the location is outstanding, it is quite lovely. It seems to me they have a lot of good activities. We pay an extra amount of money per day to get extra services. I have to fight like hell to get those services and that really angers me.

The community was the same look as other communities we toured; however, Sunrise didn't provide a lot of follow up.

What really stood out to our family was the activities coordinator. She is so vibrant, engaged and full of life which is so hard to find these days. We would recommend this community to most families.

I would not recommend this facility based off my tour experience. The guy giving the tour was nice, but the activities director was extremely rude towards us and it overshadowed the experience and gave the whole place a bad vibe.

We have been pleased with our experience at Sunrise of Arlington so far. We chose this facility because it is a nice location, it has very large beautiful grounds, the common areas inside are large, and the friendly casual feel that we got when we got here. The residents were all very friendly and talkative when we toured. The activities director has gone above and beyond for the residents to try and keep them busy. I would recommend to others looking.

Very caring staff in the Arlington, MA facility. Facility's upkeep and maintenance is acceptable-not great-but the staff makes up for it. They showed concern for my aunt when she had her physical issues and compassion for her mental issues. Communication was prompt and timely.

I gave this facility a 5 star rating for its ability provide care from assisted living through end of life care with the appropriate resources, cleanliness, hotel like feel, and friendly staff. They also offer many activities for seniors, which is important to keep them busy and engaged.

Our visit to Sunrise of Arlington went very well. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Their programs seem to fit our criteria for our sister-in-law who will be going into the memory care unit. [Name removed] seemed to understand our situation and shared our concern. As Sunrise is our chosen community, our only hope is that our sister-in-law will enjoy her time there with many visits from family.
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:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Sunrise of Arlington 7.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
