What Are Your Monthly Housing Expenses?

At Sunrise, one monthly rate covers your room, utilities, and maintenance costs—no surprise bills or worries about rising property taxes.

What Does It Cost to Maintain Your Home?

Homeowners spend an average of 1–4% of their home's value annually on maintenance—that's $2,000–8,000 per year for a $200,000 home.

At Sunrise, all maintenance, repairs, landscaping, and security are included. No more emergency calls or weekend chores.

How Much Do You Spend on Care?

Family caregivers spend a significant number of hours per week coordinating or providing care, managing appointments, and handling emergencies. At Sunrise, 24/7 professional care teams handle everything so you can focus on being family, not a caregiver.
My mom lives at sunrise in memory care. The staff are so friendly and caring! She’s getting much better care here than me and my family were providing by ourselves and I’m so grateful.

What Are Your Daily Expenses?

At home, seniors need to arrange and pay for their hobbies, meals, fitness, and transportation, which may result in them withdrawing from social activities or skipping meals. At Sunrise, daily chef-prepared meals, scheduled transportation, fitness classes, and a full activity calendar are included.
The food is absolutely delicious! I love the food and love that I do not have to cook or clean up after with the dishes!
