Sunrise Senior Living Employer Reviews

I absolutely loved working with the residents and interacting with family and friends. Liked how they focus on getting the residents involved in activities but they have poor management and they need to offer better training (especially with peri-care). I gained a lot of experience and met some very influential people.

i loved my job and my residents i loved hearing about there back grounds

A typical day at work is to get breakfast ready for the individuals and get them ready to go to workshop.Management is ok could be better.Co workers are great.Hardest part of the job is dealing with certain individuals that have aggression and bad behaviors.The most enjoyable part is to interact with the families and to see you are really helping the – more...  individuals achieve personal goals. – less

Working at Sunrise was a less than desirable experience. While the work load and compensation were the management was terrible. In less than two years i had three different bosses and those bosses had two different bosses themselves. There was absolutely no job security. It seemed that decisions to fire people were made at the flip of a coin. I would – more...  suggest that unless you desperately need a job, that you avoid Sunrise. – less

Very Detail oriented job. Knowing and understanding each resident while providing care with dignity and privacy. This job has taught me to be patient and also made me realize although everyone is different each can bring their own unique skills to help in different ways.

well organized, great management... hard part of the job getting residents to wake up. enjoyable part was getting them clean and dressed.

DO NOT DO IT! Sunrise senior living is an Okay Company to work for but I do not advise anyone to work at the one in Henderson.

My time training at this facility taught me a number or invaluable lessons such as team management and patient care, also how to assist the residents with activities.

Sunrise is a good company to work for if you are just getting your foot in the door. It definitely is more so a job then a career, but sometimes it can lead to a career path. I like the job because it pays the bills, but I definitely don't envision myself working here much longer.

One on one time with residents was most enjoyable. Hearing about their families & life experiences was fun.

Taking care of seniors with dimentia is a challenge and I loved everything about it except the staff.

-Come in and visit my patients before I started my day
-I learned that I make my patients day as much as they make mine.
-My managers were great
-Some of my co-workers may not have been there for all of the right reasons
-The hardest part of my job was having one of patients dying
-The most enjoyable part of my job was listening to my patients stories – more...  about their past and how it bought joy to them – less

Good place to work.Freedom to talk and enjoyable to work.
Nice co-workers and I learned many things.Good environment.

ALL EMPLOYEES WERE VERY FRIENDLY.I ALSO A LOT ABOUT SENIORS EATING HABITS. THE JOB WAS NOT HARD AT ALL

Great team, great residents. Learned much about senior living, and had the opportunity to do some multi-site management, as well.

• Worked the Alzheimer and Dementia Unit
• Preserved my residents dignity by always giving them their privacy when bathing, clothing, changing and toileting my residents
• Would serve them their food along with clean their plates when they was done and did the dishes.
• Would encourage my residents to do as much as they could for themselves but still – more...  giving them my lending hand.
• Get vitals and weights along with any other task asked from me , from either a family member, coordinator or fellow team member

They spent more time on the decor on the inside than updating medical tools to help the residents prosper.
Co-workers would not work together and bad communication
management would not be at work on time, would never have an answer for anything.
the hardest thing about my job is when a resident would move out or pass away.
Spending time with my residents and hearing their stories, when they gave me hugs and compliments. – less

A day at sunrise is always interesting. The residents will keep you laughing and having a smile on your face all day. You work with a small tight net team with great communication skills, when called on for help they will be there as soon as possible. The residents are the highlight of your from serving them at meal times to dance with them in the bistro. – more...  The hardest part was getting so close to them and their families and seeing them go. I learned a great deal of patience, ownership at the tasks at hand, communication, and working hard to grow. – less

Great company to work for where you get to make a difference in the lives of seniors.

Sunrise was actually my second home. Loved the management and had a fabulous experience to work with them. I grow up as a person and a Professional employee with working with Seniors. I have a career change and I will absolutely go back to work their :)

Sunrise management does not provide any support. As a Wellness Nurse you get no respect and your opinion does not mean anything. They offer a health fund not health insurance. The premium is cheap along with what is covered. One is at the mercy of the executive director. If it is determined your hours need to be cut one's hours are cut. There isn't – more...  any chance for advancement unless you are friendly with the management. Gossip is abundant. If you are not liked the executive director will make you miserable until you quit. And, do not expect corporate to help you in any way. Should you speak with someone they are so unprofessional they will go back to the executive director and say what you said and provide your name. Sunrise is not a positive place to work. If you are not in the "click" you mind as well quit. People are nice to your face and then rip you up the back. Depending on which Sunrise you work do not plan on lunch. Some of the cooks do not make enough food and are rude. For which the executive director is aware of and will not intercede on your behalf. Sunrise is a toxic work enviornment. One is always assumed guilty and convicted of whatever is said about them. Make sure you do not have an opinion! – less
