Sunrise of Braintree has been on Granite St in Braintree’s Five Corners neighborhood for 19 years now, since 2007. It’s a 79-bed community, but that number breaks down in a way worth noting: 51 traditional assisted living units, and 28 special care units built specifically for memory care. That’s a real chunk of the building set aside for residents who need more specialized support, not just a token wing.
Location-wise, this place is about as central as it gets in Braintree. It’s 0.8 miles from the city center, and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital sits just 0.87 miles away, close enough that hospital or rehab care never feels far off. The Walk Score lands at 50, moderately walkable, so some errands work on foot and others still call for a car.
Staff are on-site around the clock, and residents have access to transportation and fitness and recreation programming to fill out daily life. Pets are welcome too, so a move here doesn’t mean parting with a dog or cat that’s been part of the family for years.
Everything about Sunrise of Braintree points to a long-established, centrally located community built with real capacity for memory care alongside standard assisted living, close enough to hospital resources that a health change doesn’t mean starting over somewhere new.
