Sunnycrest was a wonderful place to visit. I Took my friend to visit during the grand reopening. Sunnycrest is a beautiful community. We enjoyed seeing the apartments, how beautiful the rooms were. The outside space so pleasant and inviting. We had some tasty appetizers and snacks. The staff were all very welcoming. When my friend is ready to make the move Sunnycrest is definitely a top contender.

Sunny Crest is a bright & beautiful residential place ~ I came to consider it for my elderly folks [who are not quite ready to enter assisted living], but I would love to see them enjoy such a positive & caring environment…all the lively activities, and getting to social with those in their age group daily!

Our family is very grateful for Sunnycrest's comprehensive care and welcoming community. Starting with Ryan the Marketing Director's introduction to all that Sunnycrest had to offer my mother and father to Heather the Executive Director's hands on approach-they have exceed our expectations. Mom's apartment is perfect. She enjoys a view of the bridal trail and has had modifications made to her family room that make her feel right at home. Both Nick the maintenance person and Christine her house keeper have gone above and beyond to make her feel cared for. We highly recommend Sunnycrest!

Both my parents have both lived at sunnycrest. Although my has passed since last year, the staff are very communicative, and are very friendly. They have recently upgraded and refurbished the facility as well. If you have a loved one that needs a high quality, affordable independent living facility, you will not go wrong with sunnycrest.

I’ve lived at Sunnycrest 11 years going on 12. I’ve seen the facility go from family owned to company owned. I’ve seen major changes in Executive Directors, Directors and Managers. Major changes in Med-Techs, Caregiver, Dining staff, Kitchen staff and a prior and complete facility upgrade. So, I felt I’ve seen it all with my tenure at Sunnycrest until about two years ago this July, when Melanie Washington arrived at Sunnycrest. At that time we had no Executive Director, and only a few other managers, no Chef, and shortages of cooks, kitchen staff, dining staff, Med-Techs, Caregivers and Housekeepers. The shortages were made up with agency personnel which was a disaster. This was partly due to Sunnycrest recovering from Covid and the rest was from the terrible mismanagement of Sunnycrest. Over the past two years Melanie has put together an excellent management team who are well qualified, accessible and, most importantly, providing a friendly environment for Residents. We now have a 5 star Chef, kitchen and dining staff also, top quality Med-Techs and Caregivers and no more agency personnel. We just went through a major facility upgrade that was almost transparent to residents and this was because of Melanie’s excellent management skills. The workman were very friendly and accommodating to all Residents and tried to make the impact on us minimal. The Executive Director, managers, and all the staff are the best I’ve ever seen at Sunnycrest, they are all accessible, and extremely friendly and helpful. Considering these people completely filled all positions over the past several years, and are now a well-defined operating group today, is amazing. The management and staff are what make Sunnycrest great. What does this mean to me? I love this place! I don’t just live here, I call Sunnycrest my home, and always will under the leadership of Melanie Washington. Paul Brunner
