Seeing a Doctor

If you would like to see one of the on-site doctors, check with the Wellness Office and the nurse can refer you to the physician of your choice.


Outside Physician Appointments

Important: Notify the Wellness Nurse First

The Wellness Nurse must be informed of all visits and consultations with outside physicians before you leave for the appointment. The Wellness Nurse will provide you with a Doctor's Visit Form to take with you — please ensure your physician fills it out and you bring it back to Sunrise.

Residents on our Medication Management Program who use outside physicians must have prescriptions filled by Omnicare Pharmacy (Sunrise's contracted pharmacy). Simply hand the prescription to the Wellness Nurse when you return. Residents who self-administer their own medication may also do so — medication must be stored in a locked box.

If you have any nursing concerns at any time, please:

  • Stop by the Wellness Center
  • Talk to the Medication Technician
  • Let a care manager know

Note

The Wellness Center needs a complete and up-to-date list of all your medications.


Rehabilitation Services

Sunrise at Hunter Mill partners with a rehabilitation company providing on-site services:

  • Physical Therapy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Speech-Language Pathology

To sign up for rehabilitation services, please contact the Wellness Office.


Call System Assistance

Personal emergency call button

Pull cords are located in every room and bathroom. When you pull the cord, a signal is sent directly to the phones carried by care managers, identifying which resident requires assistance. You will also be given an individual call button to wear at all times.

Handle with care

If the call button is pressed too hard repeatedly, it may be damaged and could fail to relay your call. A replacement fee will be charged for damaged call buttons.
