Located at the corner of Washington and Hovey Street in Newton, Sunrise of Newton’s new senior living residence is Erland’s third out-of-the-ground project with Sunrise and fifth overall.

Standard features of the building include wheelchair accessible suites and common rooms, showers modified to fit all different assistance devices, and hallways with assistance handrails.
