Sunrise, and, in particular, Paige Albano are absolutely fantastic. Paige’s passion for what she does, sheer desire to help others, and know-how are amazing. I could not recommend her more.

Sunrise at East 56th, where my mom lives, nestled in the heart of Manhattan, offers an unparalleled experience. Here, it's not just about living; it's about finding purpose and community. The care my mom receives here goes beyond expectations. Meals aren't just about food; they're opportunities for connection and camaraderie. The staff, they're like family, always there to support and make my mom feel at home. What truly stands out is the focus on my mom's well-being and social opportunities. With activities tailored to her interests and a vibrant community to engage with, every day is filled with joy and connection.

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)
