My family member lives on the memory care floor. There are many wonderful things to say about this place – the grounds and interior are beautiful, the rooms are spacious, everything is brand new, there are plenty of spaces to have private visits with family, toys for visiting kids to play with, a resident dog & cat, and multiple outdoor spaces.

Alzheimer’s and dementia are awful diseases, and looking after people with memory issues is an incredibly hard job. But the staff not only cares for him, they also care ABOUT him. They truly feel like partners in your loved one’s care. Moving a family member into memory care is a hard decision but knowing he’s being treated so well makes it...

Read moreRecently had my aunt living at Sunrise of New Dorp on the memory care floor. I can’t think of a better place other than home where I would have liked her to live. The staff took such great care of her and treated her with dignity and respect during her last days here. Many of the staff even attended her funeral services which showed how much they cared not just for her but for our family. I want to thank everyone who had a part in making her stay as enjoyable as possible and will highly recommend to anyone who needs to find a place for...
