Wonderful place great staff
My mother was very hesitant about staying at Newton Sunrise Senior Living, she was so happy she did. She had a wonderful experience during her respite stay and is looking forward to my taking another vacation so she can stay again. The staff was fantastic and made her feel comfortable and welcomed. She enjoyed all the activities she participated in and said the food was very good and plentiful. She loved her room and all the residents she met. I can't say enough good things about her stay. On her last day there the staff came in one by one to say good bye and hoped that she would come back again.

Nice Building with Terrible Assisted Living Services
The two stars are for the nice building and back garden and a few staff members who made an effort and ran some nice craft activities. Everything else experienced by our 2-person assist, 90-year-old mother in assisted living was terrible during the three months she lived here. The biggest problem: long waits for aides who were often rude and dismissive. Dismissive staff in general, including managers. The facility is staffed only to meet state regulations, not to address actual resident needs or fulfill care promises. Long waits for dining service. Complaints about food quality. High staff turnover. Some exercise classes are just parking residents in front of videos. They have a new executive director who promises to turn things around, but there is a lot of work to do. I would not place an assisted living family member here until/unless many improvements are made. We had to move our mother to a different place.

The facility and staff are extremely supportive and helpful. They just need to find more long term help. They need more hires to take the residents from the memory loss floor downstairs for the activities or events. Or have activities and events throughout the day on the memory loss floor.

Room for improvements Beautiful facility
The facility is new & very pretty. The turnover of staff is very high starting w the director & all the way to care staff. I understand that these facilities r $$ but I feel for the cost the care could be a little bit better & some of that is due to inconsistent workers . The food could be improved too. The food on memory care floor is not as good as in AL.

My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and it was recommended that he be placed in a secure memory care unit. I contacted A Place for Mom which proved to be very helpful. Various appointments were made for me and i chose Sunrise of Newton. The staff is excellent and supportive from the maintenance staff, support staff and top management. My husband is settled in and is receiving good care. The future is uncertain, but I am pleased that he is in a wonderful facility. I would highly recommend anyone in a similar situation to choose Sunrise of Newton.

Great care
My husband has lived at Sunrise of Newton for a little more than a year in a transition from home due to physical and cognitive limitations. The facility is contemporary and lovely with large comfortable rooms and public spaces. The enclosed outdoor space is very inviting when the weather is good. The best feature is the staff - all are attentive, competent, and caring and seem to know the names of all the residents. The dining room is inviting with good food, attentive wait staff, and accommodations if nothing on the menu appeals. Additional group social activities would be welcome, although retaining social directors seems to be a universal issue. We visited a number of facilities when we were looking for a place, and this stood out.

searching options
My family was searching options for future care accommodations for our family member. When we met with Sunrise of Newton, it was clear and apparent that should we need future placement, this was definitely the place. The staff went above and beyond explaining and then showing us their facility and programs. We met various staff members and toured the entire facility, inside and out. The apparent quality of care, cleanliness, professional approach and attention to detail and to their clientele, as well as options for individualized care, made it clear to us that, should there be a time when our loved one needed more help than we could provide on our own, this facility would be an excellent choice for them and for us as a family to be our loved one's home.

Nice facility; care and programming deficits at this time
During our search for a Memory Care facility for my dad, the top facility recommended was Sunrise of Newton, based on the high level of care that we needed for my him(he has Parkinsonism and needs help with all of his activities of daily living). We were looking forward to having him be part of a community and to have social interaction. The facilities at Sunrise were beautiful and the staff were extremely friendly. The facility, however, was going through many personnel changes and many aspects of my dad's care fell through the cracks. First and foremost, we brought him there for the activities. Every day, an average of 6-7 events was posted. In reality, 0-1 occurred each day. When they did happen, they often forgot to bring my dad, or brought him down late. This also occurred for meals, and I found him, on multiple occasions, in the dining area by himself 2 hours after mealtime. The schedule indicated that fitness classes were supposed to occur on most days. In the 60+ days that my dad was there, they only occurred on 3 days. There was often little coordination when events were supposed to occur- with the kitchen being unaware of events that they were supposed to provide food. Most of the time, when I came to visit, my dad was in his room, by himself, staring out the window. Most concerning was the facilities inability to give him his medications at the times that he would normally get them (which is very important in Parkinsonism). Typically he would get his first dose of medication at 7am. There, there were several occasions where he hadn't received meds until after 9 (there was only 1 nurse distributing meds). In the evening, he would normally have his last dose of medication between 9 and 9:30. There was no one available at Sunrise to give meds after 8 pm, but even when we asked for them at 8, they would still sometimes give him is evening dose at 6:30. We ended up having to hire a private caregiver to collect the medication when it was brought to his room and give it to him at the appropriate time. Also, because of the staffing shortage, no one sat down with us to develop a care plan when he moved in. It wasn't until after I contacted the Executive Director that anyone sat down with us to review to create the plan. At that meeting, we were told that someone would look into the medication issue (which no one did)- and many of the other activities that had been promised did not occur. They did finally take the evening movie off the schedule (every night a movie was listed that was going to be played in the media room, but it never happened. It was very disappointing for my dad, who was looking forward to what was on the schedule). We payed for the highest level of care (nearly $[removed]/day) and still had to pay an extra $[removed]/day for a private caregiver to dress my dad (it was not done by the staff on a regular basis) and give him his night meds at 9 instead of 6:30 PM. There was one day that no one came in to get him for breakfast or give him medications (we found him half naked standing in his room at 10:30 AM). We asked for them to remind him to drink water- which the nurses did, but the caregivers did not. It doesn't seem like the level of care that we paid for actually was communicated to the staff. Despite our more than weekly reminders, it took more than 8 weeks for the facility to submit the necessary documentation to our long term care insurance to see if it was even a covered facility. The regular nursing staff was wonderful. There were several mistakes made by the agency visiting nurses (at least 3 that I was aware of). One evening, either my dad didn't receive his night medications (or they were given before 4 when our caregiver arrived). The staff was unable to reach anyone to rectify this. I had to bring them from home and administer them. These are just some of the examples of issues we experienced. At no time did the facility try to make up for the situation. The most we ever got was a "We are sorry, we'll do better." It looks like the new staffing was going to make some changes, but overall we were extraordinarily disappointed with our experience at Sunrise of Newton.

Safe, secure and engaging
My mother has been living here for about 3 months. I can't say enough about the staff. To a person, they are kind caring and attentive. This applies to the care givers, cleaning staff, maintenance and management. Like most organizations today, staffing is an issue. Although sometimes short staffed, those that are there make the experience positive for the residents. Keeping the residents engaged and active is a critical aspect of senior living and Sunrise does this very effectively. Not only does the staff and management listen to concerns, they act very quickly and effectively to address any concerns. Lastly but certainly not least is safety. A wise use of technology compliments the staffing in keeping my mother and all residents safe and affords our family peace of mind.

A good choice, check out specifics related to your needs
Check out dining service, question services like shower assistance, laundry, room services, check out reality of activities. I picked this community, because of the proximity to home for wife to visit, price,and availability of appropriate handicapped accessible studio apartment. Would recommend. Ask about staff turnover and staff retention. Sunrise is a large corporation with many sites an it seems corporate policies are less favorable than local resident needs would prefer. Also a bit disorganized with different groups out of touch/sync with each other. Interview care manager in depth before deciding.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Sunrise of Newton 8.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
