More about Sun Health
The work sits across Foundation, Communities (Grandview Terrace, La Loma Village, The Colonnade, and At Home), Wellness, and Administration, with headquarters nearby in Surprise and a headcount the careers page puts above 700. You are the one helping residents stay as independent as they can; coworkers and appreciative residents are what staff tend to mention first. The day-to-day is senior care that people call hard and stressful when health is declining, and still rewarding when the relationship holds. Sun Health partners philanthropically with Banner Boswell, Banner Del E. Webb, and the Banner Sun Health Research Institute, and its careers page shows award badges as an award-winning workplace. Tuition reimbursement is among the benefits employees say they appreciate. Pay is the clear soft spot. Third-party figures put LPN average hourly near $29.74 and nursing assistant near $18.94, while reviews describe pay below market, minimal raises, costly or incomplete benefits, and no bonuses—with only about 36% of employees satisfied with pay. Some voices also flag gossip and backstabbing in leadership. If the mission and the residents are what pull you in, go in with eyes open on compensation and management consistency.
Nonprofit senior care focused on helping older adults stay independent, with a philanthropic tie to Banner Boswell, Banner Del E. Webb, and Banner Sun Health Research Institute.
