Overview of Sunrise of Cresskill

Sunrise of Cresskill offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Cresskill, New Jersey. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident lives in a private apartment; independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care; memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having several care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving between care levels can happen without leaving the community.

The community has 99 beds and offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom homes. A studio keeps living in one private space, while a two bedroom home can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Ms. Danna Schmude serves as the administrator.

A Walk Score of 73 places the area in the very walkable category, meaning most errands can be done on foot. Shops, a pharmacy, and cafes can be within a short walk, giving a resident who no longer drives a way to get out independently. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving into the community.
