Independent Living Community in Gurnee, Illinois

Lynda

Sunrise of Gurnee had a home-like environment with vaulted ceilings and stairways. It looked more like a Victorian home. They had bingo and community rides to CVS, Walgreen's, shopping, and dinners. They had a library, big TV screens, and common areas where you can play cards and puzzles. The sales and marketing people were very energetic, very bubbly, very lively, very interested, and really listened to what we had to say about my mother-in-law. Their screening process was extensive. They get down to what books you like to read, what colors you like, what crafts you like, or what do you do when you're angry or when you're happy. They go really in-depth. They had nurses checking on you and aides all the time. They had a good amount of acreage around them. They had walking trails and you can take your family member out to the gazebo or gardens. They had a dog running around there, which was fine with me, but some people might not like it.
