Sunrise Of Alexandria Costs & Pricing

Sunrise of Alexandria offers competitive pricing for its various room types when compared to the average costs in Alexandria city and throughout Virginia. For instance, a semi-private room at Sunrise is priced at $5,000 per month, significantly lower than the city's average of $6,181, while still being higher than the state average of $3,991. The studio option is priced at $6,840, which aligns closely with the local market ($6,448) but again showcases a notable advantage over the broader Virginia figure of $4,436. In terms of one-bedroom accommodations, Sunrise rates are set at $7,500 - slightly above Alexandria's average of $7,173 yet considerably higher than the state level at $4,257. Lastly, their two-bedroom units come in at $8,100 per month; this price point stands out as more expensive than both the local ($7,845) and state averages ($4,602).

Overall Review of Sunrise Of Alexandria

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Pricing can feel confusing

Pricing and billing communication come across as confusing for some families.

A recurring concern is how fees are explained and how rates change after move-in. One family specifically described the financial structure as confusing because it uses a daily rate instead of a monthly rate. Another review said monthly fees increased soon after the move and that the increases were harder to understand.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Care and medication follow-through

Some residents’ families question how consistently care needs are followed through.

Medication handling comes up both as a strength and as a source of frustration. One review praised how staff dispense and monitor medications. Others describe delays and problems when medication was not ready as expected and when care communication felt unhelpful during follow-ups.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Secured access after hours

After-hours access rules are a clear point of contention for some families.

Reviews mention secure entry with rules that can affect when residents can come and go. One reviewer said the building uses a code and that access after 8:00 p.m. is handled differently than earlier in the day. Other reviews criticized after-hours oversight, including concerns about lock-down timing and how that impacts residents.

common 2 reviews mention this

Food and dining experience

Dining stands out as one of the more positive, day-to-day experiences.

Several people point to food as a bright spot, including praise for the quality. One review also described dining as restaurant-like with a menu and a dining room set up similarly to a restaurant. In addition, another resident’s family mentioned meals as decent and part of what made the community feel functional day to day.

  • Open concept living and dining area with a kitchen in the background.
  • A cozy cafe interior featuring a piano and wooden seating area.
  • An elegant dining room with ornate chairs and tables set near large windows.
