Pros
I was a home health nurse that went into different communities and saw patients. I walked into Sunrise and thought "Wow, someone finally got it right"! The way that Sunrise looks at senior care was new and different than anything that I had seen before. They treated their resident's with respect and dignity, letting the resident dictate how they wanted to b cared for. I thought "I have to be part of this" so I applied for the next open position and got it! That was in 2007. I can't imagine working anywhere else!
Cons
It takes a special person to work in end of life care. As a Sunrise employee you are asked to become part of your resident's family; to love them and when they pass away it is very difficult. But, knowing that I made the end of their life the best that it could possibly be means the world to me!
