Sunrise of Metairie offers two primary levels of care: Assisted Living for residents who need help with daily tasks and Memory Care for those living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related conditions. Both care types are supported by on-site physical therapy, diabetes care, and the option for respite or short-term stays, giving families flexibility when scheduling temporary or transitional support. Physicians visit the community, and clinical staff members coordinate closely with outside providers when additional treatment is required, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving medical attention.

Additional care features are built into the community’s daily operations. The building is secured and equipped with an emergency call system and a sprinkler system. Nurses are on-site, medication management is handled by trained staff, and specialized programs address incontinence, ambulatory challenges, and the behavioral changes associated with memory loss. Hospice services can be introduced when appropriate, and both vision and dental care are available without residents having to leave the property. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are managed by staff, and pet-focused programs are in place for residents who benefit from animal companionship.

Apartments are designed for practicality and safety, and some floor plans include a kitchenette for residents who like to prepare light meals or refreshments on their own. Not every accommodation has every feature, so families should review the available layouts during a tour to determine which unit best fits the resident’s preferences and care plan.

Meals are prepared by the culinary team and served in the community dining room three times a day, with staff monitoring dietary needs such as diabetic or low-salt requirements. Snacks are available between meals for residents who prefer smaller, more frequent portions or need an option outside scheduled dining hours.

Residents have access to an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room for regular workouts or therapy sessions, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or local errands. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
