Why is it so difficult to bring up the idea of a senior community? Maimonides' Footsteps In a word, dignity. How do you tell your mom (or dad, or aunt, or grandparent) that you think it might be time for them to move into a senior living community? Will they be insulted, will they "resent me," or will I just feel guilty? At Sunrise Senior Living, preserving dignity is one of our Principles of Service. It's what has driven us for over 20 years. Today, Sunrise provides a broad range of lifestyle, service and care options designed to give both seniors and their families choices, allowing seniors to live life on their terms. Whether you're thinking about Assisted Living or Alzheimer's Care, Sunrise can help you find the life that best suits the needs of your senior. We could even help you feel better about bringing the subject up. Visit or call today to find out more about how we preserve dignity.
