Overall Review of Avamere Transitional Care At Sunnyside

common 17 reviews mention this

Staff care is praised, but disputed

Residents and families describe capable, friendly staff, alongside complaints about nonresponsiveness.

Many reviewers say the CNAs and skilled nurses are effective, pleasant, and professional, and that staff members check in and ask if residents need anything. Others report difficulty getting help with calls, bathroom needs, or ongoing coordination, and describe staff as rude or impersonal. A few reviews also mention that communication improved through proactive updates, especially for temporary stays.

differentiator 6 reviews mention this

Meals work for many diets

Dining is a clear talking point, with multiple mentions of both good meals and unmet dietary needs.

Several reviewers say the food is delicious and that they appreciate the meal quality, including for residents recovering after surgery. Others specifically mention dietary restrictions: one kitchen team member worked to meet needs tied to MS-related restrictions, and another reviewer argues for better gluten-free options. The community also offers restaurant-style dining and supports special dietary restrictions like diabetes-related diets, which aligns with the way residents discuss meals.

Skilled rehab support is central

Skilled nursing and therapy come through in reviews about recovery after hospital stays.

Multiple families describe using Avamere Sunnyside for rehab or recovery after hospitalization, and credit the team with helping someone do better and feel satisfied. One review highlights the physical therapy center and a therapist by name, while others praise effective CNAs and skilled nurses. The community’s planned care includes assistance with daily living activities and medication management, which fits the way reviews focus on hands-on support during recovery.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Help timing draws strong complaints

Some reviewers report delays or missed help with care requests.

On the negative side, reviewers mention not receiving breakfast, not getting help when calling for bathroom assistance, and not being responded to for help quickly enough. Several complaints describe staff not showing up for requests, requiring families to step in, or receiving limited attention during the day. Positive reviews exist as well—some say staff always check in and ask if help is needed—so experiences appear inconsistent.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and room conditions vary

Some reviewers describe concerning cleanliness and room upkeep issues.

A few reviews call out the facility as very dirty or describe rooms smelling of waste and requiring repeated cleaning. One negative account also mentions soiled linens left on the floor and slow attention to basic care in a day. In contrast, some reviewers include compliments about the facility being clean, suggesting the condition may not be consistently experienced by everyone.
