Overview of Sunrise at Mill Basin

Sunrise at Mill Basin occupies a three-story building in Brooklyn’s Mill Basin neighborhood, at 5905 Strickland Ave in Kings County. The community, operated by GWC-Mill Basin, Inc., runs 142 beds across two care tracks: assisted living and memory care. Apartment options cover studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, which gives families more layout flexibility than the typical shared-room assisted living setup.

Mill Basin is a residential pocket of southern Brooklyn. The Walk Score of 59 puts the neighborhood in moderately walkable territory, meaning some day-to-day errands are walkable but a car or transit will handle most. Transportation services are available through the community. The building also offers fitness and recreation, and pets are allowed.

The New York State Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, oversees inspections at this facility. State inspections have tended to center on care planning and documentation.

At 142 beds with both assisted living and memory care on-site, Sunrise at Mill Basin is a reasonable option for Brooklyn families who need dual-care access in apartment-style housing, whether the priority is assisted living now or continuity of care if memory needs develop later.
