What this means for your family
Sunnyview offers a strong rehabilitation program and a dedicated activities team that many families appreciate. However, because multiple reviewers have noted inconsistent care and slow response times, we strongly recommend conducting unannounced visits and asking specifically how the facility manages call-light response times and hygiene protocols for your loved one.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff and my mom were hugging on the day of discharge. She was there nearly two months so they became her people! It’s scary to trust your family to be safe in the hands of strangers. By the end of her stay, they were her friends as well.”
“My uncle resides at Sunnyview and has for over 5 years... The staff have been amazing and continue to treat him as if he is a member of their family. He has dementia and sometimes requires extra attention... The nursing staff always finds time to provide this care.”
“Very poor communication between treatment team and families. Room clean, staff are very friendly but care is very inconsistent. Family member was rarely changed and even discharged in soiled shorts.”
