What this means for your family

This facility offers a highly professional sales and onboarding experience and a staff that many find genuinely caring. However, because there are significant allegations regarding the authenticity of 5-star reviews and a discrepancy in care quality, families should conduct an unannounced visit and speak directly with current residents' families to verify the current standard of care.

Key Review Excerpts

Sunrise of Haverford has been a perfect new home for my mother who is 87 with physical and cognitive needs. When my husband and I arrived for an initial tour, Laurey, the Director of Sales, was so welcoming, supportive and informative.

Family of resident with physical and cognitive needs · 2025★★★★★

Walked in just looking for a place that I might place my husband who suffers from dementia. The first thing I noticed upon walking thru the door was the smell of the food. It was divine, as you would expect, from an authentic chef prepared meal.

Family member of resident with dementia · 2022★★★★★

Great people. Great care of patients. I am the onstaff podiatrist for the facility and the staff is always available and helpful. A++
