Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue charges move-in or community fees that exceed legal limits or are inadequately disclosed to prospective residents.
What Residents and Families Report
Residents and families report encountering substantial upfront charges during the admissions process in addition to monthly rent and care expenses.
Publicly available pricing materials have identified one-time community fees that may reach approximately $7,500.
Residents report concerns that:
- The charges are mandatory.
- The fees substantially increase the cost of admission.
- The purpose of the fees is not clearly explained.
- The charges are disclosed after families have largely committed to the move.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned

Potential concerns include:
- Excessive admission charges.
- Insufficient disclosure.
- Hidden costs.
- Economic harm.
Signs You May Be Affected
You may be affected if:
- You paid a community or move-in fee to Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue.
