My father spent about 2 weeks in hospice care on the memory care floor at Sunrise of McLean in late 2022 before he passed peacefully in his sleep. The staff were amazing. They were so incredibly gentle and took great care of him. They were also extremely kind to me while I was losing my father. The facility was meticulously clean and well kept. The food looked good, though my dad was past the point of eating much by then. I observed great communication between staff and residents, reassuring those who were confused or agitated. I am truly grateful to have found such great care for him.

This is a wonderful facility, warm and inviting and staffed by an incredibly caring team in every department. I've been in several different nursing homes over the years, as a volunteer and a visitor - this is the first I've been to that doesn't feel like a nursing setting. The common areas are beautifully furnished, comfortable, clean and well maintained. The food is great, there's a nice walled garden to get fresh air and sunshine and there's a variety of activities to keep residents active and engaged. Best of all, the staff is amazing. The caretakers are so kind, the PT, OT and nursing team are both careful and excellent and everyone is kind and courteous at every turn. Thank you to the team at Sunrise for giving my dad a positive 'path to home' in a setting that feels like a home, not a hospital!
Our ministry has been bringing Christian worship to Sunrise of McLean for about 14 months. During this time, we have been visiting at least once a week, and sometimes a bit more for special events / holidays. The residents are highly respected and seem very well cared for by the staff. We have not received even a single complaint about the care over these 14 months, but we have received many comments regarding the caring nature and loving-kindness displayed by the staff. There seems to be a genuine concern and devotion by the staff toward the residents. The staff is attentive, quick to respond to pages, and interact with the residents in a positive and encouraging manner. The staff takes their time, listens to the residents, and engages them in conversation in a manner that heightens social engagement and bolsters a strong sense of community amongst the residents. As a chaplain, I am extremely impressed at the level of respect the staff demonstrates toward the spiritual interest and needs of the residents. They happily assist them getting to and from worship services every Sunday. They will even show up occasionally and join the residents in song. There is a strong family like atmosphere in this community. Both between the residents and the staff. On one of our first weeks serving at Sunrise of McLean, staff greeted us with hugs and even provided us with a table to enjoy lunch with the residents. They have gone far above the call of duty to make us feel welcome and to assist us in caring for the spiritual needs of the residents. Staff has consistently demonstrated a deep concern for the health, safety, and well being of the residents. This goes far beyond a clinical type of care. The staff gives thoughtful and caring attention to how residents are engaging in activities and relating to other residents. From our perspective, the staff at Sunrise of McLean aren't just doing a job, they are devoted to making each and every resident feel like they are at home.
Hardest care decision for our family was leaving Mom for her respite 30 day trial stay but was the best decision. Sunrise McLean was there for and with Mom through all the expected and unanticipated bumps. Mom has grown emotionally and even mentally allowing her children and even great grand children to see her happy and at her best. Mother's Day is the perfect time to call out Sunrise of McLean for their personalized, attentive, and loving care of our Mom. Sunrise McLean provides high quality and personal care, and was one of the first assisted living facilities in the Sunrise Franchise. From the franchise executives recommending the right location to the staff at McLean for executing transparently and compassionately throughout the pandemic...I am convinced there is no better home or franchise for our Mom. The front desk, wellness, care, and dining staff each network, execute, and operate as a unified team. They know Mom, her family, and communicate regularly with us before any issue can grow into a serious problem. The activity team works hard to quickly integrate Mom into the community and tasks that engaged our Mom and even challenged her. But, most they consistently remind Mom about each activity, even family members when we are there. My family has two relatives who are residents at different Sunrise facilities, and the consistency of care and amenities is remarkable demonstrating a strong franchise that scales and serves it residents well. My best advise for successful selection and residency is visiting often and staying involved with each team and your relative personally at Sunrise. This will provide different perspectives on your loved one. Room options range from single occupancy to having a room mate, and are have great lighting and views. The dining facility benefits from it's national supply chain, and the low sodium, heart healthy food is reasonably tasty. The menus and activities are posted digitally. Kudos to Sunrise for their great teamwork and loving care especially during this challenging time! Photo is Mom's sons helping in the beautiful Sunrise McLean Patio garden. What's amazing is the support by the staff and community who visited Mom in the dining hall and discussed her flower choices, colors, and need for watering.
Sunrise of McLean is a beautiful community in a perfect location. I was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the shared living spaces, the spacious and light filled apartments, and joyful staff. It is a great option for your or your loved one seeking simpler living.
