Sunrise of West Essex was a much older place, but it's quaint. It was very limited in space, and there were not a lot of amenities. It was only two floors, so it wasn't a very big facility. The staff was friendly and attentive. They had painting classes or arts and crafts activities. The place was clean too.

Sunrise at West Essex is a clean and well-managed community. My dad's accommodation there is spacious, has good lighting and many windows. They have a hairstylist or barber on-site. And my dad likes the food there, I've also tried it and I think it's good. They also provide good communication between the staff and the family.

Sunrise of West Essex seemed very nice, but it wasnt a fit for my aunt. They have nice, pleasant people. They have shared apartments, so you do not have a private bedroom. It was all open, theres no privacy, and you would have to go to studios, or one-bedroom if you want one. They have activities, and they have rooms for Medicare.

Don't be fooled by what they say to you during a tour. Looks can be deceiving. The place is beautiful. The food sounds good but tastes horrible, it's saddening that these residents pay a fortune and can't have a nice tasting me (I've ate there a couple times). The care managers are quiet rude when you ask them to do something for your loved one. The executive director does not know what he is doing and there is rarely any fun. Residents get charged for EVERY LITTLE THING. I heard a resident complaining that they had pain and a care manager replied with ' okay okay' rolled her eyes , completely avoiding her pain( reminiscence resident ). They put on a fake show when touring new comers. Not worth the money in my opinion.

Sunrise of West Essex was very nice. I would have been happy having my mother there, but we chose the other Sunrise just because it was closer to me.

Sunrise is a very nice facility, the staff was very friendly, and the dining room was very nice. The lady was telling me that they had recently renovated, and everything was very nice.

I was very pleased with the Sunrise facility. The residents seem very happy. I actually ran into a family friend whose mother and grandmother are residents there; I had no idea. My husband is doing much better now, but if the time would come, I would definitely consider there. The staff is wonderful. Their food looked and smelled absolutely fabulous, and the residents were talking about how wonderful it was.
They have movies, casino nights, and they go shopping. They have an outside vendor that comes in and sells some goods. They have yoga, some sort of exercise, so it really seems like it's very good. Overall, it just gave a sense of being at home.

Sunrise was clean. It was very nice. Everyone was personable and inviting. They toured us around and offered us refreshment. They were very accommodating with my aunt, who asked a lot of questions.

Sunrise at West Essex by far sets the standard for senior care. When I walked in I was great by almost every employee. My Mom looked great all the time, and they took great care of her. I recommend Sunrise to all my friends.

We chose Sunrise of West Essex for my mother-in-law because I was a local in the area and it had a nice feel to it. The atmosphere had a nice homey feeling and there were a lot of activities. They took care of the residents. It was an all-around nice place compared to the others. I would recommend this facility though it was a little expensive.

Workers are attentive. However, I would ask how many are available from the 10 p.m. shift to 6 a.m. In other words, how long does it take for someone to respond to a pull cord during those times. Also, I read where someone said there are snacks out. There used to be fruit as apples and bananas. This is no longer the case and instead there are packaged saltines and graham crackers. The food is about equal to hospital food, and could be healthier. There are things to do to socialize but the resident must have the capacity to join as in bingo, discussion groups etc. About once a month there is a music program. Individually the workers I found caring...agaIn these are the ones during the day when I visit. There have been problems at this facility during times when there are power outages. This may be unavoidable but there is emergency lighting only in halls at that time. Perhaps someone could question them about a generator. The composition of the residents is mixed and probably leans more to needing more assistance because of the alzheimer unit in another part of the residence. In other words, people stay in assisted living till they need the other wing.

I felt uncomfortable at times because most of the patients have dementia or Alzheimers so it was hard to handle this. The staff did not pay much attention to me they were more focused on the patients and doing their job. With these residents I would play board games and take them for walks around the area. Most of these people were not allowed to leave at all, unless they were attended. Also, the food was horrible, and they knew this. They had no other choice of food,

From what I've observed, the Facility shows little or no interest in residents. From what I've found, they charge for every little thing and it winds up costing a fortune to have a loved one there!!!

Don't expect total attention for your loved one as they tell you... There is lack of communication. They charge for every little thing..

Sunrise at West Essex was the nicest of all assisted living homes that I have visited. The staff was extremely friendly when giving me a tour. The residents were all dressed neatly and appeared to be happy and enjoying the company of others around them. There is a dog living in the assisted living facility which also helps give a home feel to the place. For meals the food looked and smelled delicious. Sunrise at West Essex sets the standard that all other assisted living facilites should try and duplicate.

Sunrise at West Essex looks more like a gracious old Victorian home than a senior care facility. I loved the big front porch area, friendly cats, classic furnishings and the personal vintage photos of the residents when they were younger. The staff seemed genuinely warm and caring - I noticed how often staff members would put an arm around a resident or a hand on a resident's shoulder.
The residents looked happy and well cared for. Although they were not all in good health, everyone was dressed nicely and had their hair styled neatly. Little cakes, cookies and coffee were being served in the bistro area, where it seems snacks are always available. Fresh fruit, crackers and raisins were on the counter for whoever might get hungry.
This place has lots for the residents to do! They have shopping trips, exercise and live entertainment, as well as a nice selection of books and movies.
