BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunrise Senior Living (NYSE: SRZ) announced today that The Stratford at FlatIrons has changed its name to Sunrise at FlatIrons. The name change comes in the midst of Sunrise's 30(th) anniversary celebration and reinforces the community's place as a member of the Sunrise family.

"While our name is new, our commitment to providing our residents the very best home is, and will always be, as strong as ever," said Tina Dickhoff, executive director of Sunrise at FlatIrons. "And our residents will continue to be served by the same dedicated team members they have come to rely on."

As part of the rebranding effort, the community will adopt Sunrise's bold new logo. The new name and branding is meant to help customers recognize the FlatIrons as a Sunrise community - a place where they can be confident that their loved ones will receive the best-in-class care and service Sunrise residents and families have come to expect since the opening of the very first Sunrise community in 1981.

"As we mark our 30(th) anniversary, it is important that all of our communities reflect our focus on providing the highest quality in senior care," said Laura McDuffie, head of Operations for Sunrise. "This name change is a great opportunity to truly celebrate what makes our approach to senior living different."

In addition to the rebranding of the FlatIrons community, Sunrise continues to serve the Denver and Boulder region with six additional communities that offer seniors and their families a variety of high-quality senior living options ranging from independent and assisted living to memory care.
