    After a long recovery from a serious accident, I toured Sunrise East 56 to evaluate options for assisted living should I need it in the future. Sunrise is where I will go when/if the time comes. Paige, (Director) thoughtfully and patiently answered my long list of questions, and then we took the tour. It is clear this is a top quality facility with dedicated, experienced people. Paige clearly loves what she does and cares deeply about the residents. The facility is well designed to support the residents who have different levels of mobility. It's bright and airy, very clean and well maintained. There is a wide range of well laid-out apartment choices, plus inviting common areas. Given the residence's different levels of support, and engagement, there is an extensive list of activity options, both inside and outside, designed to meet a range of interests - she shared the monthly calendar which was filled with a variety of programs. Importantly, as I toured several floors, I saw how well taken care of the residents are. I felt very assured that this is a place that would meet my needs and provide the comfortable living experience I would want at that point in my life. Thank you Paige for the time you spent with me -- Sunrise checks all the boxes.

    My mother has been in the Reminiscence neighborhood at Sunrise56 for over a year now, and I cannot say enough good things about the care she receives. First and foremost, the team is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in her well-being. After more than a year, I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands. I’m also incredibly impressed with everything else Sunrise56 offers — the food is fresh and delicious, the facilities are beautiful and well-maintained, and the activities are engaging and thoughtfully planned. It’s clear they make every effort to keep residents active, comfortable, and connected. Another thing I deeply appreciate is how they’ve connected me with other excellent care providers and resources. That extra level of support means so much, and it reassures me that my mom’s needs are being met in every possible way. If you’re looking for a place where your loved one will be cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine warmth, I can wholeheartedly recommend Sunrise56.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sunrise at 56 while exploring assisted living options for my father, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Paige, the Director, and her team. While we ultimately chose another facility due to affordability, our experience at Sunrise was truly exceptional, and Paige played a huge role in making it so memorable. From the moment we arrived, Paige went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She personally arranged for my father and me to be picked up from his home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Once we arrived at the facility, we were invited to stay and watch a Knicks game together. They even provided us with a delicious dinner, and we ended up staying late into the evening enjoying the game and chatting with staff. It felt less like a tour and more like spending time with family. The facility itself is stunning—beautifully designed with warm, inviting spaces that immediately make you feel at ease. But what really sets Sunrise at 56 apart is Paige’s leadership and the incredible care she inspires in her team. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine passion for creating a nurturing environment for residents are unmatched. She took the time to understand our needs, answer every question, and ensure we felt supported throughout the process. Even though we ultimately chose another place due to financial considerations, I can confidently say that Sunrise at 56 would have been an amazing home for my father. Paige’s dedication to her residents is truly extraordinary, and it’s clear she goes out of her way to make every individual feel valued and cared for. If you’re looking for a place where your loved one will be treated with compassion and respect—and where the staff truly go above and beyond—I highly recommend Sunrise at 56. Thank you, Paige, for your warmth and for making this transition such a positive experience for my family!
