  • Then Tom, Raquel, and Ryan discuss what services and hospitality are offered at Sunrise Senior Living.  

  • Raquel steers the conversation back home: She asks Tom how families would choose among the nine Sunrise Senior Living communities in Montgomery County. 

  • Nine minutes into the podcast, Raquel highlighted Sunrise Senior Living's new vision that was announced by its CEO in November 2022, and she asked Tom to unwind said vision and expound upon what inspired it.

  • Tom, Raquel, and Ryan then shift the conversation to breaking down misconceptions around senior living with a throwback audio clip from season one of The Sopranos.

  • Ryan and Raquel give kudos to Rachael Cicconi, Sunrise Senior Living's Montgomery County, Maryland director of business development, for connecting the local Montgomery County community to the nine Sunrise communities within the county. 

  • Tom, Raquel, and Ryan then discuss how Sunrise Senior Living includes animals within their communities, which speaks to Sunrise's culture and sense of community.
