We have been trying to get my mother into an assisted living setting, and we came very close to placing her at Sunrise of Glen Ellyn, before she categorically refused to leave her home. We had all the paperwork signed, furniture moved in etc. We had to go back to Sunrise and back out. The people -- Patti, Beth, Sheila and their Executive Director, Christine, and others -- were all WONDERFUL. They have done nothing but help us. And when we had to back out, they refunded all the money we had paid them. We still very much hope to eventually get her into Sunrise, and I certainly ended up with a very, very positive feeling about this facility and its staff.

GE Mom, great story! Too often people feel free to complain but forget to praise when things are done well.

Good Luck with your Mother.

There are several other Sunrise campuses being built too. In the past 2 months or so I have bid one in Lombard, one in Mundelien, and I have one for St. Charles on my table right now. They must be doing something right....


I just worry what the room labeled "E.D. Office" is suppose to be...

It's called...78.9 million retirees between 2009 and 2112. They are planning ahead.
