Key Review Excerpts

My brother Jack, has lived at Sun Terrace for 4-5 years and he just loves it. All the staff are so caring, and you just become one of the family.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

They let their residents come to their appointments alone. Unsure what the protocol is for bringing residents to their appointments but a caregiver being present during appointment is overall safest and helpful for resident to receive that proper patient care.

Family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

The staff is kind and professional, but they have a hard time keeping an RN on staff as head nurse. They should probably raise the salary on that position so they can recruit and retain a good person.
