Extraordinary Senior Living in Fullerton, CA

I’ve lived at Sunnycrest 11 years going on 12. I’ve seen the facility go from family owned to company owned. I’ve seen major changes in Executive Directors, Directors and Managers. Major changes in Med-Techs, Caregiver, Dining staff, Kitchen staff and a prior and complete facility upgrade. So, I felt I’ve seen it all with my tenure at Sunnycrest until about two years ago this July, when Melanie Washington arrived at Sunnycrest.
At that time we had no Executive Director, and only a few other managers, no Chef, and shortages of cooks, kitchen staff, dining staff, Med-Techs, Caregivers and Housekeepers. The shortages were made up with agency personnel which was a disaster. This was partly due to Sunnycrest recovering from Covid and the rest was from the terrible mismanagement of Sunnycrest. Over the past two years Melanie has put together an excellent management team who are well qualified, accessible and, most importantly, providing a friendly environment for Residents. We now have a 5 star Chef, kitchen and dining staff also, top quality Med-Techs and Caregivers and no more agency personnel.
We just went through a major facility upgrade that was almost transparent to residents and this was because of Melanie’s excellent management skills. The workman were very friendly and accommodating to all Residents and tried to make the impact on us minimal. The Executive Director, managers, and all the staff are the best I’ve ever seen at Sunnycrest, they are all accessible, and extremely friendly and helpful. Considering these people completely filled all positions over the past several years, and are now a well-defined operating group today, is amazing. The management and staff are what make Sunnycrest great. What does this mean to me? I love this place! I don’t just live here, I call Sunnycrest my home, and always will under the leadership of Melanie Washington.

As a resident, I want to say that the staff is very caring. The food is good and ample with various choices. I am very happy and pleased call Sunnycrest my home.

Sunny Crest has been a very welcoming community for my in-laws. We had to move them from their home quickly and Sunny Crest has been more than accommodating to us. They made a sensitive transition very pleasant. Abbey has been great to work with; She has always gotten right back to us and has provided many resources for us. The very friendly staff has made my in-laws feel very much at home. The pricing at Sunny Crest is very competitive, the food is good and the care is compassionate!

Where do I start OMG We just rented an apartment here for my mother in law Jacquie. We worked with Abby She is so friendly and awesome we looked at and called several other properties for assisted living. This place was by far the friendliest and most reasonable place we saw. The staff is awesome. Melanie was great she assessed my mother in law so we could know what level of care she will need. Our family was welcomed with open arms and had lunch with some of the residents. What a great experience. The food was great. I will update this review when she moves in and experiences the staff and the whole living experience. Thank you guys so much for the awesome place for our seniors. Scott...

Our family is very grateful for Sunnycrest's comprehensive care and welcoming community. Starting with Ryan the Marketing Director's introduction to all that Sunnycrest had to offer my mother and father to Heather the Executive Director's hands on approach-they have exceed our expectations. Mom's apartment is perfect. She enjoys a view of the bridal trail and has had modifications made to her family room that make her feel right at home. Both Nick the maintenance person and Christine her house keeper have gone above and beyond to make her feel cared for. We highly recommend Sunnycrest!

I've been at Sunnycrest for the past five months. The rooms are beautiful with large layouts and great accessibility. My room on the second floor has a beautiful balcony and a view of the center courtyard. My apartment is kept very clean by the house keeping staff. The food is great with the variety of different options. The care staff is friendly and ready to help. The activities department with the name vibrant life is true to its message. We are very active and there's always something to do. The music groups that come in and the weekly outings are a great change of pace. The management is easily accessible and very friendly. They're ready to deal with questions and take feed back. The Team here is continuously making the community even better.

I wanted to share, too often we forget to share good experiences. I live out of town, as such I do not have the opportunity to visit So. Cal but a few times a year. My Aunt is happy living at the Sunnycrest, with her "other" family. Everyone is kind and helpful. She has lived there almost 2 years now, and she has made many friends. When I arrived, I went to her apt. and she was not there, we found her playing cards with a group of ladies, laughing and having a good time. At first, she didn't need much help, but now she needs assistance. Everyone we encounter is helpful, the building is always clean and neat. I am treat with such courtesy - such a positive experience. Being responsible/POA and living far away, it brings such serenity knowing she is well cared for and safe. I'm amazed to get those calls that start with "everything is okay, we just wanted to let you know how your Aunt is doing today..." Thank you Sunnycrest!

Sunnycrest is a wonderful option for senior living! I am always greeted by friendly residents sitting outside the entrance. The community has vibrant and updated decor and a lovely central courtyard. Staff members are helpful and seem to enjoy their work. Great proximity to Physician offices and St. Jude Medical Center too.
