What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Sunrise of Bridgewater receives largely positive reviews for its attractive, clean, and well-maintained environment. Families frequently describe the community as beautiful, upscale, welcoming, and home-like, with pleasant grounds, comfortable apartments, appealing common areas, and good food. Many residents appear happy, engaged, and active, while reviewers praise the variety of activities, family events, entertainment, and restaurant-style dining. The staff—particularly caregivers, aides, nurses, therapists, and memory-care personnel—are often described as compassionate, patient, friendly, attentive, and respectful. Several families say their loved ones received excellent care, maintained dignity, and were treated like family. Communication is frequently praised, especially when residents experienced health changes or hospitalizations, and many reviewers strongly recommend the community for assisted living and memory care. However, the reviews also identify serious concerns. One family reported a medication-administration error that resulted in a six-day hospitalization, while others alleged poor nighttime supervision, inadequate care, and serious management deficiencies. Communication is a recurring weakness for some families, including delayed updates, unanswered calls, and limited accountability. A few reviewers criticized management, unclear care-level pricing, staffing changes, and reduced memory-care activities. There were also complaints about inconsistent information regarding backup power, Wi-Fi, billing increases, and fees. Cost is the most consistent negative theme. Multiple reviewers considered Sunrise significantly more expensive than competing communities, citing high monthly rates, moving fees, and poor value despite the attractive setting. Some tours were described as impersonal or unwelcoming, and one reviewer found the environment overly loud. Overall, Sunrise is widely viewed as beautiful and staffed by caring frontline employees, but experiences with management, communication, pricing, and clinical reliability vary substantially.
