That’s the experience we strive to deliver in all of our Sunrise communities and really defines our brand. We want our customers to know we are passionate about fulfilling their expectations of receiving the very best care tailored to their personal needs,” said Meghan Lublin, senior vice president of Marketing & Communications for Sunrise.

The J.D.
