Review

Sunny Hills is a senior living facility that has received mixed reviews from its residents and their families. While it offers a range of nice facilities and assistance with daily activities, some concerns have been raised about additional fees and security issues.

One reviewer mentions that Sunny Hills is one of their favorite facilities despite being slightly more expensive. They appreciate the variety of social and recreational activities available for the residents, as well as the daily assistance provided. However, they express frustration with the facility not disclosing all the charges upfront, leading to surprise fees later on. Despite this issue, they still consider Sunny Hills as their top choice.

Another reviewer shares their experience of their mother moving into Sunny Hills in December 2007. They mention that employee turnover is high, which could impact consistency in care. However, they do highlight breakfast as being the best meal of the day at Sunny Hills.

Unfortunately, this reviewer also experienced a concerning incident in May 2008 when their mother had money stolen from her room. The individual believes that someone with access to master keys entered their mother's room during meal time and took money from her wallet. They express a desire for a card-key system to be installed to track room entries but mention facing resistance to this idea.

Further investigation by this reviewer reveals that Sunny Hills' buildings are reportedly up for sale at 16 million dollars and are in bankruptcy. They express concern about whether or not this information will be shared with tenants in a timely manner.

Additionally, the reviewer notes frequent staff turnover at Sunny Hills but acknowledges that their mother does receive her medications properly. However, there have been issues with laundry service, including receiving incorrect linen and towels along with other people's underwear.

In conclusion, while Sunny Hills offers appealing amenities and assistance with daily activities, there are concerns surrounding transparency on fees and security issues such as unauthorized access to residents' rooms. The facility's financial situation and high staff turnover may also impact the overall quality of care. These issues should be taken into consideration when making a decision about senior living options.
