Sunrise of Sheepshead Bay provides two primary levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—and is equipped to handle a wide range of medical needs. The community accepts residents who wander at any time of day, have a history of elopement, present behavioral challenges, stay up all night, or require wound care and oxygen therapy. Special dietary management is available, and the staff is prepared to serve residents under age 60 as well as diabetics using oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale regimens. Advanced dementia conditions are supported throughout the building.
Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on the premises 24 hours a day, backed by an awake night shift and routine background checks for all employees. Podiatry visits are offered in-house, and the community accepts residents who have psychiatric diagnoses. All four major activities of daily living—bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting—can be performed with full staff assistance. Transfer help ranges from standby support for walkers to two-person or full Hoyer lift transfers. Safety systems include 24-hour security staff, a fenced rear area, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems that communicate directly with caregivers.
Accommodations vary, so not every residence includes every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate the room. Housekeeping is provided, and maintenance handles routine repairs. Families can choose a layout that matches their budget and personal preferences without compromising access to care.
Dining is structured for flexibility. Residents order meals from a menu, snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary team manages physician-ordered diet modifications ranging from low-sodium plans to complex diabetic or texture-altered diets. For individuals living independently on campus, the community can layer in medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, creating a step-up support model without moving to a higher level of care.
Amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber/beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, reliable internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is available, and the property is close to public transit for additional convenience. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
