MCLEAN, Va., May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunrise
Senior Living, LLC, today announced its third annual Tour of
Homes, an open house event that will occur in its nearly 300
communities in the U.S. and Canada
from Sunday, June 2, through
Saturday, June 8. The public is
invited to visit any Sunrise community to tour residents' suites,
meet members of the Sunrise team – even the resident pets – and
experience first-hand the high-quality senior living Sunrise offers
its residents and families.
"We look forward to opening our doors and inviting in the public
to learn more about our dedication to creating a safe and nurturing
home full of joy," said Laura
McDuffie, chief operating officer for Sunrise. "Sunrise
offers a wealth of resources and tips for seniors and their
families to ease their transition into our communities, which offer
all the comforts and special touches of home."
Every Tour of Homes event will highlight the Sunrise
Signature Experience, which is at the heart of each community's
approach to care. Offerings include:
- Designated Care Managers are trained caregivers who provide
consistent care for the same residents in their suites and
throughout the community.
- Ongoing programming and activities designed around what
residents find joy in doing to create a fulfilling environment and
help build bonds between fellow residents and Sunrise team
members.
- Sunrise Signature Dining provides delicious, nutritious meals
made with fresh, local ingredients.

and health and wellness information.
- The community cat and dog, that offer residents comfort and
companionship. Pets have been shown to help improve health as we
age!
- Senior-friendly design tips to help families create
welcoming and safe spaces for seniors.
To emphasize its ongoing commitment to personalized
environments, Sunrise partnered for a second year with HGTV host
and "Design Star" Emily Henderson, awarding a winner of the Sunrise
Suite Style Contest with a free complete suite redesign. Guests are
