Disgusting! Sunrise Villa is NOTHING like that though! This is a fancy pants place! When you walk in you are blanketed by the amazing smells of the delicious food from the kitchen, and the dining room has chandeliers, cloth napkins, crystal glasses, and table service with huge menus for every meal! It's literally like a fancy restaurant for every meal for the residents! That cannot be beat! The entire place is immaculate, with no dirt or bad smells anywhere that we can detect, and that's a huge plus. Just the idea of assisted living usually conjures up negative things but Sunrise Villa creates a whole different experience, a wonderful one. My folks have only been there for one month, having come from a beautiful hilltop home on sonoma Mountain, and they are both already saying they are happy there. There are tons of amazing activities scheduled all day long, and their amazing two bedroom apartment gives them a living room, a bedroom,and an extra bedroom for my father's computer and office. On top of all that, Grace, who helped us through every step, is the most kind, loving, understanding, and patient person to help your family through this difficult time. She is amazing! Thank you Grace! Sunrise Villa is not cheap however, and you'll need plenty of money in order to stay there, but it's definitely worth it, and they have created an assisted living facility that takes the sting out of the painful family process that leads to the need for it. I recommend it highly, if you can afford it.

After checking out several retirement communities for my parents, we decided on Cogir of Sonoma in…read moreJuly of 2021. We are so glad we did! For the past two years, my parents have received exceptional care from all of the staff. Everyone is very kind and dedicated--the front desk staff, the caregivers, the chefs, activities director, maintenance and the office staff. The location and community are absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. The social/activity calendar is always filled with fun and different opportunities. If I could, I would like to live there (I'm 53). My parents are in the assisted living option for help with medication management, mobility, and hygiene/incontinence assistance. They develop a Care Plan dependent on the needs of the resident(s). I hope the families of some of the other residents will also take the time to post reviews.

Our family is grateful that Cogir of Sonoma is where my mother is living. Cogir of Sonoma is an…read moreexcellent combination of a very pleasant atmosphere, a very motivated and involved support community and a continuous effort to have worthwhile community activities. My mother was accustomed to living independently till she was 94 and we realized she needed some back up in an easy living situation. Her apartment at Cogir is lovely, spacious, terrace, fully appointed and a terrific bathroom for her increasing safety needs. The facility has the feel of a boutique hotel with an relaxing inner courtyard, a dining room with the feel of a cruise ship, library with a fireplace my mother enjoys reading and a gathering spot for happy hours and live music. The food is very good, prepared with care and flair, emphasis on freshness and lots of choice. Way above institutional fare, takes advantage of Sonoma high food standards while catering to many dietary preferences. The staff deserves extra cheers for adaptation to the pandemic, keeping everyone ok, delivering meals and gradually re-introducing activities as safety allowed. Early adoption to safety protocol has been very effective. There has not been a single case of Covid and many people were able to see their families in the courtyard, avoiding some of the extra restrictions. The Cogir atmosphere is positive, the staff works very hard to decorate for every possible holiday and a big banner hangs on the front door that says "Heroes Work Here" and it is true. Most important my mother is happy, feels the pleasure of her own apartment and enjoys the community activities. Her needs have increased and the staff is involved and responsive. Our only criticism is that someone complained about the lovely person on housekeeping staff who was singing as she worked and she was told to stop. Even though my mother is almost deaf she misses the music, and so does her family. It was a joy to hear in the halls.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Please don't send your loved ones here! We just had to…read moretake my dad out of this place. It's horrible. So many health and safety violations. No air conditioning in heat of summer. There are only 3 little fans for the whole place! Can 20 +seniors share that? NO. My father's health has declined since being here. No help with real bathing or toilleting. They put him in diapers instead of helping him to his commode. Very little staff. Caregivers have to also be the janitor, food service and med tech at the same time. Please don't send a loved one here! Too many legal and moral violations to list here. Also, they yelled at my father when they thought he was using the phone too much in their opinion. They restricted phone access so he couldn't always call us when he needed to. Also, today when we went to get him, it was stifling hot in his room and the entire building. And it stunk too. They had a broken thermostat that claimed it was 70 degrees inside. No way in hell it was that cool. I get cold at that temp. It felt like a sauna/steam room in there. I feel bad for the other people left there. For their health and safety, they need to try and go somewhere else. Mistreatment, verbal abuse go on in there!!!!!

They always provided guidance and help whenever needed. The facility is clean and food delicious -the special holiday buffets are amazing. My mother truly enjoyed activities from outings to playing bridge almost every day and more. She bonded with many there through fires, Covid and Increasing age. During these challenging times I saw the staff really step up and be there for the residents. I am forever grateful for the care Cogir gave my mother and for making the last years of her life full of friendship, health and enjoyment.

My 95 year old mother was at Cogir for just under a year; April 2024- March 2025. Although I had…read moretoured other facilities and thought I had chosen the right place for Mom, I very much regret my decision taking her to Cogir. There are a few reasons for that regret, but here are the two main ones: 1. Out of the blue, without any notice or prior discussion, Cogir raised Mom's care cost sky high. There was no apparent reason for this hike and no explanations were given. Just an email stating the new amount was "due immediately ". 2. When seeking clarification or reasoning behind such huge cost increases, phone call after phone call, email after email were totally ignored by the management team. Day after day after day every message was disregarded. The first time this happened they ignored me for 7 days. The second time, it took them 6 days to finally respond. I found this "increase-then-ignore " style of management very stressful and extremely frustrating to deal with. Neither is a quality I seek in a management team. Especially one entrusted to my mother's care. I happily gave notice and left as soon as possible.
