One of the outstanding traits of Sunrise is its approach to keeping residents and their families connected. This was apparent during the rise of COVID when they made it their mission to ensure families continued to stay in contact with their loved ones by supplying residents with iPads equipped with various communication applications. This invaluable gesture helped demonstrate Sunrise's commitment to going beyond just the physical care of residents and meeting their equally important mental and emotional needs.
