Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Brooklyn, NY
Sunrise at Sheepshead Bay occupies a mid-rise on Emmons Avenue in Brooklyn’s Sheepshead Bay neighborhood, a Sunrise-branded community with 189 beds across studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts. The surrounding area is legitimately walkable; a Walk Score of 88 means most errands are reachable on foot, which matters more than it might in a suburban setting when residents, families, and staff are all coming and going. The starting price is $6,323 per month.
Care here spans three levels: assisted living, memory care, and respite stays. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on-site around the clock, and the services list includes rehabilitation, short-term rehab, and Dignity Home Care alongside the standard residential tracks. Memory care is a distinct offering, not folded into general assisted living.
The amenity footprint is substantial for an urban mid-rise. Outdoor spaces, a bistro, a private dining room, chef-crafted meals, fitness and arts programming, local excursions, and scheduled transportation are all confirmed. Each suite includes an emergency response system. Sunrise CareConnect handles healthcare coordination, and a family engagement app keeps relatives in the loop without requiring a trip to Brooklyn.
For older adults who want to stay embedded in a dense, walkable urban neighborhood while moving into assisted living or memory care, this community covers the range of what that transition typically requires, with short-term options available for families who aren’t yet ready for a permanent placement.
