Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We are acting as counsel to Sunrise Assisted Living Inc., a Delaware

sold by the Company, and 105,000 of which shares (the "Selling Stockholder
Shares") are to be sold by the Selling Stockholders identified in the
Registration Statement if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment
option.  This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you
to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R.
Section 229.601(b)(5), in connection with the Registration Statement.  

        For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined copies of the 
following documents:

        1.      An executed copy of the Registration Statement.

        2.      The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as certified
                by the Secretary of the Company on the date hereof as

        4.      The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement among the Company
                and the several Underwriters to be named therein, for
                whom Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, Alex.
                Brown & Sons Incorporated and Natwest Securities Limited will
                act as representatives, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1
                to the Registration Statement (the "Underwriting Agreement").

        5.      Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted on

                certified by the Secretary of the Company on the date hereof as
                then being complete, accurate and in effect, relating to the
                issuance and sale of the Company Shares and arrangements in
                connection therewith. 

        6.      Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted on
                December 19, 1994, as certified by the Secretary of the
                Company on the date hereof as then being complete, accurate and
                in effect, relating to the issuance and sale by the Company to
                the Selling Stockholders of the Selling Stockholder Shares and

genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the
authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the

Board of Directors and the Pricing Committee referred to in paragraph 5 above,
the Company Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable under
