Despite the array of services available, reviews from residents and family members highlight some challenges in the quality of care and communication at Sunnyside Care Center. Concerns have been raised about staff responsiveness, with reports of delays and inadequacies in the care provided. Transparency appears to be an issue, as there have been instances where staff reportedly turned off monitoring cameras, leading to suspicions about care practices. Communication with upper management is described as difficult, and there are claims of individuals being excluded from discussions if they disagree with management. While the facility may provide a suitable environment for residents who are largely independent, it may not be equipped to adequately support those requiring more comprehensive care, as suggested by the reviews.
