You could not find a nicer staff. The facility does need some updates, but for the money it can't beat. Apartment sizes here are more than adequate.

My dad had a wonderful stay. I never thought I would be able to take him home again, but he's home now because of the great care the staff takes of their residents. I would recommend this place!
Shelby Nursing Ctr in Shelby Twp, MI

That was okay, but not nearly as good as Sunrise. It was more rehab after my mother in law had been in the hospital. It wasn't bad but it didn't have the same homey feeling, it seemed more like a hospital.
