"Mixed Experience at Sunrise of Paramus Assisted Living Facility"
The people who take care of residents change a lot. This means sometimes the care isn't consistent. They do a good job keeping family updated, though. Mom thinks the food is hit or miss—some meals are good, others not so much. The cleaning of the rooms is okay, but when Mom moved in, there were stains on her carpet that still haven't been cleaned. The laundry service isn't great; they've lost many socks. When we moved in on a Sunday, it didn't go well, but they said that's why. Most of the staff are friendly, but some are nicer than others. Overall, I think Sunrise of Paramus is good for nursing care, location, and safety. But it's really expensive, so I'm not sure if it'll work for us long term.

"Needs Improvement: Not the Cleanest or Newest"
When our family visited the place in person, it didn’t feel quite right. The cleanliness wasn’t up to par, and the whole place seemed old and worn out. It really could use some freshening up.

"Sunrise Assisted Living Review"
We visited Sunrise and it seemed nice. The place isn't great for walks, which made my relative feel stuck. If your loved one needs a locked facility for memory issues, this could work.

"Underwhelming Amenities"
Our family visited the assisted living facility in person. The building looked nice, but we didn’t feel comfortable right away. All the residents used walkers or wheelchairs, and we weren’t sure if it was for safety reasons. The lunch menu that day was just pizza or a PB&J, which we found inadequate given the monthly cost.

"Memory Care Challenges Impact Community Experience"
As long as your loved one doesn't need memory care, this community is good. But if their memory care worsens, they might struggle with their symptoms. Unfortunately, I had to move my loved one out of the community.

"Nice Community with Friendly Staff"
The community is very nice, and the staff is very nice too. My loved one has been safe here, but I wish there were some social distancing activities during COVID. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

"Sunrise of Paramus Review Summary"
Certainly! Here's a revised version of the review in 8th-grade level American English: "Sunrise of Paramus didn't quite fit my Mom's needs. If you need lots of one-on-one care, it might work for you. But if your loved one is independent and craves privacy and mental stimulation, this isn't the right place. Most residents spend their days napping or waiting for meals. The community van never left during my Mom's two-and-a-half-month stay. Mealtimes were inconsistent, and staff seemed rushed. Some residents love it here, but make sure your loved one truly needs extra attention." (#search_web(query="Sunrise of Paramus 2.5 star review"))¹.

"Great care and friendly staff in a clean, active community"
This place has doctors right on site. My loved one is in the memory care unit on the third floor. The staff are really nice and helpful. They keep me updated about my loved one’s care. The community is clean and they offer activities every day. Extra services do cost more, but I felt at ease because I was introduced to all the staff during my tour.

"Memory Care Upstairs, Tight Spaces: Not Ideal for Us"
This place had its good sides but also some downsides. What bothered me was that they put the memory care section upstairs. The whole place felt cramped, especially because the dining area was really small. When you stepped out of the room, you were practically in the activity room. It felt a bit suffocating. Overall, it's not bad, just not what my sister needed.

"Neglectful Care at Pretty Facility"
The place looks nice, but they didn't take good care of my family member. I had to keep calling them to make sure they were doing their job. Also, there were no activities for the residents because everyone seemed to be sleeping or unresponsive. I would only recommend this place for those who are completely dependent on others.

"Sunrise: Welcoming, activities, high price, worth it for care."
Pretty, cozy place with friendly staff. Barbara explained Sunrise's mission. Feels like a welcoming B&B. Lots of activities and amenities. They adapt to residents' routines. Rooms are comfy. No availability now, but they'll update. Prices seem high but worth it for all they offer.

"Nice Place with Activities"
When we were exploring options, we checked out this place. It was pleasant, with activities available. However, the outdoor areas were smaller, lacking grass. .

"Decent Assisted Living Facility"
Sunrise of Paramus seemed pretty nice when we toured it. The building looked good, and the people were friendly. It wasn't our top choice, but we'd think about it!

"Decent place, but not what we needed"
We checked out this place while figuring out care options for a family member. It looked pretty good overall, though the person who showed us around didn't tell us much. When we visited, they only had studio apartments available, and that wasn't what we wanted. We got to taste the food during the tour, and it was tasty!

"Unhappy with third-floor accommodations."
They make us stay on the third floor, which isn't great.

"Wonderful, Friendly Community for Mom"
Everyone here is super friendly and helpful with getting my mom used to her new home. I like this place because it's a smaller community, which makes it easy for mom to meet people. Plus, it's close enough for me to visit often. I'm very happy with it.

"Great facilities, friendly staff, but residents are too laid-back."
Everything at this place seemed really nice, and the people who work there were super nice when we went to check it out. The only issue we had was that the folks who live there and the things they do are pretty relaxed, which wasn't exactly what we were hoping for. We were looking for a place where the residents are really active because my Mom likes to stay active too. Other than that, everything seemed totally okay!

"Too advanced, expensive, lacking bracelet."
Took a look at the memory care place. Seemed too fancy for Mom. We're looking for something simpler with a bracelet that alerts guardians. Plus, it's pricey.

"Clean and Beautiful Assisted Living with Caring Staff"
This place is really nice and clean. They have special caregivers who are trained and certified to help. There are 28 people in the memory care unit. A doctor from the Valley comes here. You can stay for respite care for a month. You have to pay some money upfront to reserve your spot.
