Sunrise on Connecticut Ave offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming that accommodates residents living with early-stage cognitive changes through advanced dementia. The team is prepared to manage residents who wander during either the daytime or nighttime, those who have a history of elopement, or who present combative or other behavioral issues. Clinical oversight extends to individuals who are up all night, require wound care, receive oxygen therapy, need special diets, or live with diabetes managed by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also welcomes adults under 60 when appropriate and has protocols in place for residents with complex or evolving medical needs.
Care is delivered by licensed nurses on staff, with a registered nurse or LPN available around the clock and an on-call nurse 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift supports residents at all hours. Safety measures include door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. On-site clinicians can provide podiatry, dental services, and therapy, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer support ranges from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers.
Residences can be furnished or unfurnished, and some suites feature private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to personalize walls with paint or décor; availability of each feature varies by unit type. Routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included, so residents do not have to manage those tasks themselves.
Dining services accommodate a range of dietary needs, offering both set menus and made-to-order selections. Snacks are available throughout the day, and meals can be taken in the main dining room, a private family dining area, or in residents’ rooms if clinically indicated. The kitchen team can modify textures for mechanical chop, purée, or thickened liquids, and they can provide gluten-free, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diets.
Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, landscaped communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, and special-interest clubs. Transportation options range from scheduled medical shuttles and a town-car service to proximity to public transit. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
