What families are saying

Reviews of Sunrise of Newton are mixed, highlighting an attractive community and caring staff alongside serious concerns about staffing, communication, and consistency of care. Positive reviewers describe the facility as beautiful, modern, clean, homey, and well designed, with spacious rooms, inviting common areas, gardens, fireplaces, and accessible layouts. Families appreciate the smaller scale, personalized service, varied activities, good food, and multiple levels of care. Many praise staff members as friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive during difficult transitions. Several residents and families report positive experiences in assisted living, memory care, and respite stays, noting that loved ones became comfortable, socially engaged, happy, and well cared for. The community is also described as inclusive and welcoming, including to LGBTQ+ residents. Sales and administrative staff are frequently commended for thorough tours and explanations. However, several detailed reviews report significant problems, particularly during 2024. Concerns include insufficient staffing, long waits for assistance, missed or delayed meals and medications, inadequate support with transfers and personal care, inconsistent activities, poor coordination, and dismissive or rude interactions. One family reported that a wheelchair-bound resident was left waiting for bathroom assistance, while another said a resident with Parkinsonism experienced medication delays and missed activities. Reviewers also cite high employee and management turnover, weak communication with families, inconsistent care-plan implementation, food-quality issues, billing confusion, and unexpected fees. Some felt the level of service did not match promises or costs and ultimately moved their relatives elsewhere. Overall, Sunrise of Newton appears visually impressive and capable of providing excellent care when staffing and management are stable, but prospective families should carefully verify current staffing, care procedures, medication administration, activity schedules, communication practices, and billing terms.
