About Sunrise at River Road

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Sunrise at River Road provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as needs change. The team is equipped to work with residents who wander day or night, have a history of elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or a sliding‐scale regimen. Staff members are trained to support advanced dementia conditions, and care plans are adjusted continuously to match each resident’s medical profile.

Around-the-clock clinical oversight is a core part of the community’s operation. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site 24/7, backed up by additional nursing staff on call. Background-checked caregivers remain awake at night, while door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, wander guards, and pull-cord alert systems help maintain safety. The community also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses and coordinates podiatry visits on-site. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive that help as part of daily care, and the team can accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, standby or one- and two-person transfers, full-body Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound support.

Accommodations range from furnished suites with private bathrooms to units that include kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Residents can paint or decorate their rooms to feel more at home. Not every apartment includes every feature, so families should confirm specific layouts during a tour. For those living independently, the community offers medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and an optional monthly meal plan.

Dining services provide structured menus as well as made-to-order options at each meal. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary staff can tailor menus for low-sodium, diabetic, heart-healthy, or other physician-recommended diets. Special attention is given to residents who need modified textures or calibrated carbohydrate counts to support diabetes management.

Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and a pet-friendly policy; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The building is fully wheelchair accessible and houses a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, and regular on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, shopping, and local activities.

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly praised by residents and their families for providing a caring and compassionate environment. Many reviews highlight the friendly and knowledgeable staff, describing them as caring and attentive, and often going above and beyond for the residents. The facility is appreciated for being clean and well-maintained, providing a welcoming and home-like atmosphere. Several reviews mention the Norwegian model of care as a distinguishing feature, contributing to a more homely and dignified living environment for the residents.

Activities and amenities offered by the community receive frequent positive remarks. Residents enjoy various engaging activities, both within the community and outside trips, which keep them active and social. Dining options are generally well-received, with many appreciating the chef-prepared meals, although there are mentions of food quality still having room for improvement. The community offers a range of amenities, including different room sizes and necessary medical facilities, which many appreciate for the convenience and quality of care, particularly in the memory care unit.

However, a couple of reviews indicate concerns over communication and charges for services not necessarily needed by some residents, such as higher levels of assistance. Additionally, one review mentioned using plastic utensils and plates in the dining area, which didn’t align with some expectations. Despite these isolated concerns, the overall sentiment towards the community is positive, with many reviewers highly recommending it for its caring staff and quality services.
