SUNRISE OF CHANDLER

Sunrise of Chandler is an assisted living and memory care community on West Chandler Boulevard in Chandler, Arizona, operated by Sunrise Senior Living. The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses it as an assisted living center (license AL8754C) with capacity for 100 residents. The community is a fully landscaped, single-level, Craftsman-style building with gardens, a quarter-mile walking path, and porches for visiting with family and friends.

Sunrise offers personalized assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays, and it sits at the intersection of Gila Springs Road and Chandler Boulevard, near Interstate 10. A full calendar includes music, fitness, art, and continued learning, along with excursions to local attractions. A bistro offers grab-and-go snacks during the day, a private dining room is available for celebrations, and the culinary team takes suggestions from residents.

Sunrise also uses an app to help residents stay connected with loved ones. Nearby are the Chandler Center for the Performing Arts and Chandler Fashion Center. Offering assisted living and memory care in the same community means a resident whose memory changes over time may be able to move to the secured neighborhood without changing communities. That continuity can matter for people with early memory concerns, so it helps to ask how the transition is decided and who is involved.

In Arizona, assisted living communities are licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services. A licensed assisted living center serves eleven or more residents and may be approved to provide supervisory care, personal care, or directed care services, with directed care being the level for residents who can no longer direct their own care, as is common with dementia. Families can look up a community's license and inspection history on the state's AZ Care Check website before a visit, and reading recent inspection reports can show how a community has responded to any past findings.

Around the neighborhood, Chandler Regional Medical Center is about 4 miles away, and East Valley ER - Chandler is about 4.5 miles away. Gila Springs Park is under a mile away, Natural Grocers is about a mile away for groceries, and Chandler Sunset Library is about 1.5 miles away. Public bus stops are a short walk from the entrance, which can help family members who visit without a car. On a tour, walk the quarter-mile path, ask how short-term stays are arranged, how the memory care neighborhood is staffed at night, and how families use the app to stay in touch.

Local Senior Advisor is a free service to families, and a local advisor can help you weigh Sunrise of Chandler against other options around Chandler and plan the questions to bring on a visit.
