Sunrise of West Babylon

I’ve been a volunteer at the West Babylon location for my local Catholic parish for about 5–7 years, serving once a week. So when my mom’s insurance gave us just two days’ notice for her discharge from rehab, and we weren’t prepared for her to transition home, I already had a place in mind. I was familiar with the facility and knew several of the employees, so it felt like an easy and natural decision. They offer a special program for people in situations like my mom’s. She was given a spacious, well-lit private suite with a large, handicapped-accessible bathroom (complete with a walk-in shower) and a separate kitchenette. They handled everything — transferring her medication list, accepting delivery of her medical equipment from the rehab center, and arranging for nursing care and assistance at every level. She received three meals a day, snacks if she wanted, and a wide variety of well-organized activities planned by two lovely ladies, Lourdes and Vanessa. It was eye-opening to see the facility from the other side — as the family of a resident, instead of just as a volunteer. Everything was spotless, the staff were friendly, and the meals offered multiple choices. Mom even got to choose her physician; she decided to see the in-house doctor instead of her own. They quickly got her pain under control and successfully weaned her off blood thinners prescribed at the rehab center. Within about five days, she had adjusted to the new environment. Physical therapy came on-site once or twice a week. They even have a fully equipped in-house hair salon, plus a “happy hour” with wine and cheese platters (for residents who are permitted wine). The nurses personally find each resident (being that they don't spend much time in their rooms) to give them their medications, ensuring everything is consistent and on time. I can honestly say I highly recommend Sunrise Nursing Home — not just as a volunteer, but now as a family member who has experienced their care firsthand. If you’re considering them, I suggest taking a tour with Theresa. Tom, the general manager, Theresa, and the entire staff made sure my mom was comfortable, cared for, and heard — not because I volunteer there, but because that’s how they treat everyone. As a funny aside, my sister and her fiancé accidentally went to the large facility east of Sunrise NH, when going to visit her one day. They said the two receptionists there seemed uninterested and a bit stuffy — a stark contrast to the warm welcome we always receive at Sunrise from Liz and Ellen. Thank you to all at Sunrise for making my mom’s stay such a positive experience. Before she had fallen at home (the reason for the rehab admission in the first place), she'd been very depressed. She, my stepdad, and our family all agreed she returned home as an even better version of herself.

Sunrise of West Babylon truly stands out for the care they provide. The compassion and attention shown are evident in every detail. Sadia is exceptional in her coordination of assisted living services, ensuring everything runs smoothly and residents’ needs are met with professionalism and warmth. Corinne’s team consistently engages residents in meaningful and enriching activities that bring joy and connection to their days. Lourdes brings energy and life to the community, making the floors vibrant and welcoming. It's clear that the staff at Sunrise of West Babylon are dedicated to creating a supportive and lively environment for all.

Sunrise Senior Living of West Babylon was truly an incredible experience for our family. My Mom lived there for 3 years before recently passing. It was not only became a home for Mom, the residence and staff became her second family. They were loving and caring. The home was clean, beautiful, food was good, activities on point and her care team and the entire staff top notch. If you are concerned about where your loved ones should go when in need of assisted living, I highly recommend Sunrise of West Babylon.

My mother was a resident of Sunrise West Babylon for 2 1/2 years before her recent passing. She was a resident of the Reflections Community. I cannot speak highly enough about the staff at this facility. Most specifically Corinne LaCorte and her entire staff, but the staff in the entire building was always pleasant and helpful. The residents in Reflection were always treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their status. I never worried that my mother was being neglected or not cared for. I miss my girls there...Deborah (angel), Isabella, Geraldine, Merlande, Valentina, Joan (angel), and the nurses Patricia and Laveda. I know I am missing names, but you get it! It is expensive, but it was the best money I ever spent for the wonderful care of my precious Mother.
