The Light in the Storm

Staff is friendly and helpful. The staff they have seem to want to genuinely help. They're responsive too if you have an inquiry. Facility is clean and lacks odors that would imply otherwise. Typically has parking out front, but otherwise neighborhood parking (for visits). Sunrise is great in an emergency (case for my dad who was down bad) and for elderly who suffer from later stages of ailments. It is an assisted living facility, after all. If the individual in question requires minimal care, but still needing prompting for example or help with weekly pills, Sunrise may end up feeling strange to them. Depending on necessary care level, id urge to consider a place offering both assisted living and independent living. Sunrise shines as a place to be when there's no going back or in an emergency when things are unclear.

Review for Sunrise of Connecticut Ave

I would give each category a 5 with 2 notations- *Activities -my husband doesn't participate in the scheduled activities but I have observed them and they are appropriate and varied and seem to reach the residents . *Value for the money is a hard one because it is expensive; although in comparison with other places I've looked at, the costs seem to be equally high everywhere. We have been very satisfied with Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue and would not consider any other placement.

Very friendly, very responsive. Overall good facility.

This facility is good. My friend is a lot happier here than where she was before. The hairdresser is wonderful! My friend has gotten her hair done several times and it always looks nice. They seem to be doing a good job for her here all around. In the past, she's always talked about going home. She hasn't since she's been here. Not only that, but based on her comments and things recently, she seems to actually be accepting this as home. The staff is very friendly and nice and seem to be helpful. They always seem to make her smile here, which I notice and appreciate. She did mention that the food is always cold. They have a good PT program, which my friend uses and it's been great. I would recommend them to friends and family.

I toured this community. It's a lovely place. The only thing we didn't like was the outdoor space. The area for the residents isn't as large and quiet. That's something that was important to my loved one, no fault of the facility. It's in an urban area, so that's to be expected. Otherwise, it's a great place!

My Tour Experience at Sunrise of Connecticut Ave

The clientele seemed to be older than my loved one and further along in their journey. The cost was a little too high for us. This community is very nice, and they had several secure outdoor spaces for the residents to enjoy.

It did work out for our family for a short time. They tried their best and were very helpful for the time that we used them for and did the best they could. I would tell others if you are looking for an aide definitely call them.

I placed my mom in Sunrise 3 weeks ago. The entry process was quick and efficient. I give Sunrise excellent marks for providing the care my mom needs. An illness left her with assisted living as the only option for her, and with the physical therapy staff at Sunrise, she is making great progress in becoming ambulatory again. The community is attentive, and the atmosphere is clean and bright with wholesome meals and daily activities. My mom is very happy and safe.

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:

  • 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 District of Columbia 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 District of Columbia regulations for Assisted Living.
