How They Respond to Reviews

77%response rate
Generic

The owner relies heavily on a small set of repetitive templates to respond to reviews. While they occasionally personalize responses to mention specific family members (e.g., 'dad' or 'mom'), the vast majority of replies are copy-pasted scripts.

The minute they moved to Sunrise on Hillcrest, they began to blossom and are getting their second wind. I can’t say enough nice things about this place.

Family member of a resident · 2024★★★★★

She is remarkably healthy and happy today as a direct result of getting nutritious meals and caring, friendly interactions every single day with the team members of Sunrise.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

Both times she returned from the hospital and almost had died and had little hope she wasn’t to thrive, she regained her weight, perked back up from the love and attention, her strength and memory improved
