Independent Living at Sunrise
In the spring of 1981, a young couple—Terry and Paul Klaassen—founded Sunrise Senior Living to introduce a resident-centered approach to senior living. Their goal was to enable seniors to live life on their own terms. This is the principle behind Sunrise independent living communities.  The Best of Both Worlds
Sunrise independent living communities provide the best of both worlds: private living along with communal services and activities. They are the ideal solution for people who are looking to trade the responsibility of home maintenance in exchange for a range of social, educational, and leisure activities. Independent living is all about lifestyle. Sunrise independent living communities are like private campuses. Many feature pools, spas, exercise centers, and social halls, and they offer residents fine dining and organized activities. Some communities also include assisted living or nursing care centers, sparing seniors the need to relocate once again as their health care needs change. Ultimately, our independent living communities are designed as places our residents call home—so we offer residences in a wide range of sizes and configurations, apartments and condominiums as well as separate cottages. Principles We Live By
Each Sunrise independent living community has a style and a personality all its own, reflecting the diversity of our country. But they are all distinguished by the six Principles of Service that guide all our interactions with our residents and their families: preserving dignity, nurturing the spirit, celebrating individuality, enabling freedom of choice, encouraging independence, and involving family and friends.
Thanks to these principles—and the members of our staff who live them every day—Sunrise has earned a reputation as a premier provider of independent living for active seniors.
