Sunrise of Mount Vernon offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to receive support that fits changing needs without leaving the community. Staff are trained to manage wandering at any hour, elopement risks, behavioral concerns and sleep-wake cycle disruptions. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen management and diabetic care, whether oral medication, injections or sliding-scale dosing are required. Residents under 60 and individuals coping with advanced dementia are accepted, and care plans are adjusted to match each diagnosis.
A licensed nurse is on-site around the clock, backed by additional RNs/LPNs, nightly awake staff and an on-call nurse for urgent questions. Doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced, and pull-cord and personal emergency response systems can alert staff or 911 as specified. Sunrise completes background checks on team members and maintains 24-hour security coverage. Podiatry, audiology, dental services and a therapy room are available in-house, and the community will accept residents with psychiatric conditions. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they are trained for walker and wheelchair support, standby or supervised movements, one- or two-person transfers and Hoyer-lift transfers when full support is needed. An activity director schedules daily engagement to complement each care plan.
Apartments can include a private bathroom, kitchenette and basic furnishings, although features vary by floor plan. Residents control their own thermostats, may paint or decorate with personal items and can subscribe to cable; housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided.
Dining offers a set menu at each meal plus an on-order option for different tastes. Snacks are available throughout the day, meals can be served in apartments, and a private dining room can be reserved for family events. The kitchen accommodates gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, purée and thickened-liquid diets, and staff monitor diet modifications and portion sizes according to physicians’ orders.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, special-interest clubs and scheduled transportation for medical appointments. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
