It was back in 1981 that the very first Sunrise opened its doors. Founded by Paul and Terry Klaassen, it was their vision to create a place that championed the quality of life for seniors in a homelike, person-centred setting.

Three decades on, this vision is still the heartbeat that you’ll find at the core of more than 300 Sunrise communities in the UK, USA and Canada.

The trusted name in care

Today, nearly 40,000 people live in Sunrise communities. In the UK alone, around 2,400 people call Sunrise their home.

Whether you’re looking for yourself or a loved one, you’re always welcome to find out more about the Sunrise difference at any of our 27 communities in England and Wales. Come and take a look for yourself and discover an entirely new and positive approach to senior living and wellbeing.

Person-centred services, organised around the individual needs of each resident, include:

• Residential Care
• Nursing Care
• Dementia Care

It’s not our home, it’s yours.

It’s the little touches that make the difference. Our residents bring their own treasured items to add their personal sense of style and taste to their suites. Community pets, freshly cut flowers and space for residents and visitors to catch up in our bistro and restaurant are also Sunrise ‘Signatures’ that make Sunrise a home from home.

Our passion for providing the highest possible quality of living is something shared by every Sunrise team member. It’s in every little detail. And it’s something you’ll notice from that very first moment you walk through the door.
