Sunrise of University Park

My mom was there for 2 weeks. Sales lady lied about overall price. After she was done kissing kitchen staff person in her office. Very displeased. Got my mother out!

The Sunrise community is an outstanding location for any individual that can afford it. It is not at the top end of the cost window for assisted living communities in Colorado Springs but it is beyond mom's funds even if she receives a full VA spousal benefit in addition to her Social Security. The facility is modern and well maintained. It is on a major thoroughfare. The grounds are fenced however, the entrance to the parking is open and the building in open access during the day.

While I had many choices regarding 'places' for Mom, I had set some guidelines and specific limits about where I wanted her to be placed. 'A Place for Mom' took those into consideration as they helped me gather a list of local communities to consider. I then thinned those out easily by both face to face interviews and tours of each (sometimes going back for a second look later). The decision came down to two communities and then the light finally shown on the choice of the one where she is now. We (my siblings, my family, and I) couldn't be more pleased. She is slowly adjusting (at 94 it was a BIG move) but is safe, well attended, and close by. The staff is super friendly, accomodating and sensitive to Mom and her needs, plus there's alot more to love about this place. It's only been two months, so we're all growing and stretching as we strive to focus on making Mom's days the best they can be. It's a great team effort and the perfect place for her.
