Sunrise at Sterling Canyon

My mother has been a resident at Sunrise Sterling Canyon for 8 years and is thriving! She was reluctant, at first to go into an assisted living facility but the staff at Sterling Canyon helped her with the transition. They were then and continue today to be very supportive, caring and professional. The facility overall is very nice and clean. Food must be good as my mother likes it! Management is always available to answer any questions or concerns. My mother is now in Reminiscence/Memory Care and I really like that they take the residents out on field trips. I would highly recommend Sunrise Sterling Canyon.

They keep cutting costs to save money, even though they raised the prices in January. Stopped printing the weekly menu to save on paper, started using paper plates, sour looks from dining room staff members when asking something, waiting up to 45 minutes at a meal to just be asked what you want to order. I think the days of excellent care over aesthetics and decor are long gone. That was the reason we chose Sunrise to begin with. It just didn't live up to the past reviews. It's also why we didn't''t even look at Sunrise that is in the new state we are in now. I do want to point out that the front office staff are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Bill was our first contact at Sunrise and he helped us through the whole process of moving in. Bill has been doing this for a while and he is incredibly knowledgable with all matters relating to assisted living. The ladies that sit at the front desk are also super friendly and always have the biggest smiles for anyone that comes through the door and all the residents.

I had to find a place that could give my mom assistive care in the last part of her life. I am forever grateful that we chose Sunrise Sterling Canyon. The staff were fantastic, all kind and caring, making her last days comfortable. The facility is clean, meals fantastic, and most importantly the people genuinely care for their residents.

Both my mom and mother in law have called Sunrise Assisted Living in Valencia home. My mother in law relocated from Palm Desert in 2018 and my mom moved to the facility in 2019. Both lived there through COVID, and were well taken care of during those trying times. The staff there are amazing, professional, respectful, and very attentive to the residents needs. Before my mom passed in 2021, she was very active at Sunrise. Residents can as involved as much as they want with all the activities available. Mom loved playing bingo, mahjong, cards and all the events sunrise offered. She wasn’t eating very well when she was living alone, so I was comforted to know she was now getting three meals a day! She loved coming down to the dining room and chatting with her neighbors. Another benefit was that Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital was right next door. Her doctor even had privileges at sunrise for the occasional house call. She enjoyed having her hair done at the saloon at sunrise and even taking a walk through the manicured grounds winding through sunrise. We looked at many assisted living facilities in Santa Clarita, and sunrise was the best choice for our moms. Located close to shopping, health care, the mall, restaurants and freeway close. The best part of enjoying life at sunrise are the people. The staff, like Anita, welcomes you when you first walk and makes you feel at home. The nurses are amazing. The servers in the dining room attend to your every need. The housekeepers are friendly and keep everything fresh and tidy. Last but not least is a shout out to Bill. We met him at our initial meeting and he walked us through everything and has been extremely helpful even today. Recently I had the pleasure of talking to Sean Taghizadeh, Sunrise Valencia Executive Director. I had some questions that only Sean could address. I left him a message and he got right back to me and just like that, problem solved. It’s hard to find people these days who love what they do and truly care about others, and go that extra mile for you. Thank you Sunrise for everything! Mitchell Kussoy
