Key Review Excerpts

The team at Sunnyside helped make my parents' move clear and simple. I was guided through the process and the staff were always available to me when I had questions.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

Our family was extremely pleased with the level of care and attention to detail our 90+ year old parents received during their stay! Karen, Yazmin, Ed, Patrica, Jesse and the entire team went above beyond for us during a very difficult journey placing both parents first into Assisted Living then transitioning to Memory Care.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

My mother blossomed in this loving and beautiful environment. Each room has its own garden making this caregiving jewel a special place unlike any other.
