defined below) that are not purchased, are forfeited or expire, or otherwise terminate without delivery of
any shares subject thereto or are settled in cash in lieu of shares, after September&nbsp;17, 2008. As of
September&nbsp;17, 2008, the Company had outstanding under the Prior Plans (a)&nbsp;options to purchase 3,154,921

expire, be forfeited or not be purchased, or otherwise be terminated without delivery or be settled in cash
in lieu of shares. As used herein, the term &#147;Prior Plans&#148; consists of the Company&#146;s existing 1995 Stock

    <TD>Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee. The offering price per share and the aggregate offering price have been
calculated based on (a)&nbsp;the weighted average exercise price for shares of Common Stock that are subject to
options that have been granted and currently are outstanding pursuant to the 2008 Plan and (b)&nbsp;the average
of the high and low prices of the Common Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on July&nbsp;21,
2009, for shares of Common Stock that are issuable pursuant to the 2008 Plan and not subject to outstanding

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;Delaware Law&#148;), a corporation
may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its former directors, officers,
employees and agents and those who serve, at the corporation&#146;s request, in such capacities with
another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), as well as judgments, fines and
settlements in nonderivative lawsuits, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they or any of them were or are made parties or
are threatened to be made parties by reason of their serving or having served in such capacity. The
Delaware Law provides, however, that such person must have acted in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in (or not opposed to) the best interests of the corporation and,
in the case of a criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the Delaware Law does not permit indemnification in an
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly
and reasonably is entitled to indemnity for expenses the court deems proper in light of liability
adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully
defended.

indemnified party unless it is determined, as provided in the indemnification agreement, that

is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being

This registration statement also applies to rights to purchase Series D Junior Participating Preferred
Stock of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant"), pursuant to the Rights Agreement,
dated as of April 24, 2006, as amended by the First Amendment thereto, dated as of November 19, 2008,
between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent (as amended, the "Rights
Agreement"), which rights are attached to, and tradable only with, the Common Stock registered hereby.
(2)
In accordance with the terms of the Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2008
Plan"), the 4,800,000 shares of Common Stock that are issuable under the 2008 Plan are subject to increase
by the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding equity awards under the Prior Plans (as
defined below) that are not purchased, are forfeited or expire, or otherwise terminate without delivery of
any shares subject thereto or are settled in cash in lieu of shares, after September 17, 2008. As of
September 17, 2008, the Company had outstanding under the Prior Plans (a) options to purchase 3,154,921
shares of Common Stock, (b) 623,996 shares of restricted Common Stock, and (c) 4,466 restricted Common
Stock units. Subsequent to September 17, 2008 and through the date of the filing of this registration
statement on Form S-8, equity awards under the Prior Plans relating to (a) an aggregate of 596,420 shares
of Common Stock have been forfeited or have expired or otherwise terminated without delivery of any shares
subject thereto or settled in cash in lieu of shares (the "Forfeited Equity Awards") and (b) an aggregate
of 421,689 shares of Common Stock and 4,466 restricted Common Stock units have vested or been issued.
Accordingly, this registration statement includes (i) 4,800,000 shares of Common Stock that are originally
issuable under the 2008 Plan, (ii) up to 596,420 additional shares of Common Stock covered by Forfeited
Equity Awards under the Prior Plans and (iii) up to 2,760,808 additional shares of Common Stock that may be
issuable in accordance with the 2008 Plan, which number represents the maximum aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock covered by equity awards under the Prior Plans outstanding as of July 23, 2009 that may
expire, be forfeited or not be purchased, or otherwise be terminated without delivery or be settled in cash
in lieu of shares. As used herein, the term "Prior Plans" consists of the Company's existing 1995 Stock
Option Plan, as amended; 1996 Non-Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended; 1997 Stock Option Plan, as
amended; 1998 Stock Option Plan, as amended; 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended; 2000 Stock Option Plan, as
amended; 2001 Stock Option Plan, as amended; 2002 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, as amended; and
2003 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, as amended.
(3)
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration
statement shall also cover, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock shown above, an
indeterminate number of shares that may become issuable under the 2008 Plan to prevent dilution as a result
of a stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(4)
Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee. The offering price per share and the aggregate offering price have been
calculated based on (a) the weighted average exercise price for shares of Common Stock that are subject to
options that have been granted and currently are outstanding pursuant to the 2008 Plan and (b) the average
of the high and low prices of the Common Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on July 21,
2009, for shares of Common Stock that are issuable pursuant to the 2008 Plan and not subject to outstanding
options.
In addition, pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, a portion of the $3,510 previously paid
registration fee associated with 1,302,929 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Company's
2-for-1 stock split that occurred on October 4, 2005) that remain unsold under the Company's registration
statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-120738) related to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan
is hereby used to offset in full the total registration fee for this registration statement on Form S-8.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law"), a corporation
may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its former directors, officers,
employees and agents and those who serve, at the corporation's request, in such capacities with
another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), as well as judgments, fines and
settlements in nonderivative lawsuits, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they or any of them were or are made parties or
are threatened to be made parties by reason of their serving or having served in such capacity. The
Delaware Law provides, however, that such person must have acted in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in (or not opposed to) the best interests of the corporation and,
in the case of a criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the Delaware Law does not permit indemnification in an
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly
and reasonably is entitled to indemnity for expenses the court deems proper in light of liability
adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully
defended.
- 3 -
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the "Bylaws"), provide for
mandatory indemnification of directors and officers generally to the same extent authorized by the
Delaware Law. Under the Bylaws, the Registrant must advance expenses incurred by an officer or
director in defending any such action if the director or officer undertakes to repay such amount if
it is determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with certain of its
directors and officers. Each indemnification agreement provides for, among other things:
(i) indemnification against any and all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) of any claim against an
indemnified party unless it is determined, as provided in the indemnification agreement, that
indemnification is not permitted under applicable law; and (ii) prompt advancement of expenses to
any indemnified party in connection with his or her defense against any claim.
The Registrant also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed on the exhibit index, which appears
elsewhere in this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
Provided, however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with
or
- 4 -
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
