Assisted Living questions
Question about working at Sunrise Assisted Living?
I just got hired as a caregiver/housekeeper at a Sunrise in Southern California. From what I’ve seen so far (just a small tour of the place) it seems nice but I’m wondering if anyone has worked at a Sunrise and what it’s like. Thanks:)
Congratulations on your new job!
No I’ve never worked there but this woman who does has a blog. Maybe you’d like reading it and talking to her.

These two stories are about people who live in one rather than work in one. But I thought they were interesting.
