Sunrise of Fort Worth

I toured Sunrise of Fort Worth. It's new, it's clean, and they have bigger rooms. Their cost was very unreasonable. So, that's what was a deterrent for me at Sunrise of Fort Worth. The staff was good. The size of the rooms was average. The layout was long halls, but it was very clean. They were very nice. The dining area was central to the rooms. They have little tables, like four to a table set up in there.

Everyone from the staff to the residents are happy and busy throughout the community. Numerous different groups & activities for residents to participate in. The apartments were roomy, clean, and well updated. Beautiful, secluded community in the middle of Cityview.

I walked in and interrupted an assistant girl saying “ew ew ew” to my elderly father while he was in bed. The assistants go in and out of peoples rooms with absolutely no knocking or respect of privacy. I do not recommend this place for anyone.

We toured Sunrise of Fort Worth, it was sort of our second choice. Their facilities were comparable. But to get to the memory care unit, you have to go in the lobby, and then have a circuitous route back towards the memory care unit. And since mom has great-grandchildren, which are still very young, we didn't think it was practical to march them through all these other people to go visit their great-grandmother. They had a couple of rooms that they showed us that they said they hadn't cleaned up since the clients had departed, and there was a little bit of mold in the showers. The shower heads were kind of dripping and they were in the middle of what appeared to be some maintenance work. They were changing the wallpaper and putting in new light fixtures and things like that. When my daughter and I visited them, it was the middle of the week but two in the afternoon and there didn't seem to be anybody working at that time on those maintenance items, so it was a little unusual. So we weren't sure whether they were taking good care of the maintenance and their people, or whether they were just kind of having it halfway done and taking a while to get through it all. They had good people there, the staff members were attentive to the clients, and they were attentive to visitors. Any questions you had they had answers for you or recommendations of where to get the answer from. Their grounds were well-tended, there was greenery everywhere. They had nice shady places to go outside and relax and enjoy. Interior-wise, it's all updated and modern looking, but not sterile like a hospital. It's more like a home, they had fireplaces and it was nice. But again, that maintenance didn't seem to be getting done the way it should be.

My mom has moved into Sunrise of Fort Worth. So far, it's good. It's what's expected. It's difficult in a way given the fact that my mom has just lost her husband that she'd been married to for 65 years. Her adjustment is a challenge, but I think it is more so because of that than anything else. The living space is nice. The staff has been very nice for the most part. The food has been excellent. The overall level of the place is great. The facility is clean and cheerful. It's a very good size and it's not huge, which I think is critically important, especially when you get to the point where you need assisted living. Being in a very large facility can be very daunting and very overwhelming. For her, it's very close to going out to the dining room, which is a big plus. Overall, it's great. They have activities. They have movies, games, and knitting activities. At Christmas time, they had the Texas Boys Choir come in and sing. They have a lot of really nice activities; it is just that she is not in the mental state to engage with them yet. It is not cheap, but I think overall it's worth it. As a higher-end facility, I would say it's worth it. I have peace of mind that my mom is in a safe place, that she is in a good place, and that she is well looked after. I know they have memory care and I'm glad they have it. That's one of the reasons we chose to go in that direction. The bigger decision that we went in that direction was the overall presence we got from the place and even more compelling than that was the apartment that she would be in and its proximity to everything else.

Sunrise of Fort Worth is excellent, except the food. The food is terrible here, and I've tried to do something about it, but it doesn't work. But I would give an A+ on everything else around here. The entire staff is good, the facility is nice. I've gotten sick from the food several times, which is the reason I'm having to leave. I'm allergic to sugar-free products and I've had four experiences of that here. But other than that, Sunrise is an excellent facility with really good care and everything. The food needs improvement. The staff is excellent, all of them, the nurses, everyone. The price is a little higher than some, but it's worth it. We've been kind of limited lately, but we do activities.
