My 96 year old aunt spent the last 2 1/2 months of her wonderful life in the memory care section at Sunrise @ East 56th. Have nothing but good to say about the quality of care, the facility (it's basically a luxury hotel with nurses stations), and the staff-my aunt came in with dementia and slowly but surely made her comfortable in her new environment. Highly recommend if you have a loved one in Manhattan who needs this type of care-you get what you pay for! Prime location in midtown Manhattan doesn't hurt (easy transit access helps)

Sunrise at East 56th has been an absolute godsend for my mother. I can't express how grateful I am to have found this senior living community. It deserves every bit of its five-star rating. From day one, the staff at Sunrise has shown an unwavering commitment to my mother's well-being. They treat her with kindness, respect, and genuine care, which has brought so much comfort to our family. The amenities and activities offered are outstanding. My mother loves the exercise classes, the beautiful courtyard, and the stimulating social events. It's heartwarming to see her so engaged and happy. The dining experience is another highlight. The meals are not only delicious but also cater to dietary needs. Knowing that my mother is well-fed and enjoying her meals gives me peace of mind. Sunrise at East 56th truly feels like a warm, loving community, and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention they provide to my mother.
