Unfortunately, when this news is Millar used to take fresh given, a tremendous burden falls on the families and concerns flood their minds. Where will my loved one go? Will they adjust to a new home after living in theirs for so long? Will they be safe? Will my loved one be able to afford the care they need? The staff at Sunrise Ridge is aware of these concerns and work day in and day out to dismiss any worry and replace it with full confidence. With 24 hour staffing families can rest well knowing their loved ones are receiving any help needed no matter the time of day. So what makes Sunrise Ridge different from other facilities? Most facilities do not offer all-inclusive rates. The monthly rates at Sunrise Ridge include: cable, phone, long distance service, transportation to doctor visits, medication management, any assistance with activities of daily living, incontinence care, etc. There are also no move-in fees or deposits required. Typically, medication management, assistance with bathing, toileting, dressing and other activities of daily living are not included in a monthly rate. Another thing that makes Sunrise Ridge unique is that in the 4 years it has been opened rates have not increased at all. Most facilities have a set yearly increase.
