What this means for your family
This facility is highly regarded for its cleanliness and compassionate end-of-life care. However, families of residents with dementia should be extremely cautious; multiple reviewers have raised red flags regarding security lapses and residents wandering into other rooms. We strongly recommend asking management specifically about their supervision protocols and how they handle resident safety in the memory care unit.

27 reviews on Google“Sunrise on Vernier receives high praise from many families for its compassionate staff and well-maintained environment, particularly regarding long-term care and hospice support. However, there is a recurring pattern of serious concerns regarding memory care safety, specifically regarding residents wandering into other rooms and security lapses at the front desk. Families should be aware that while many find the facility excellent, others have reported significant issues with care consistency and responsiveness when medical or behavioral needs escalate.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother spent her last months as a resident of Sunrise on Vernier, in hospice care there, and was happier than than we'd seen her since our father passed away and she descended into dementia and Alzheimers. It isn't an exaggeration to say that she came alive and thrived there.”
“The cleansiness and the food was outstanding! All I can say, this place was INCREDIBLE and forever changed our mind when it came to the diff”
“When I voiced my concerns about residents left to wander in and out of each other’s rooms I was told that it is not one on one supervision and that’s just how it is. I was constantly given excuses not suggestions for improvement.”
