The cleanliness and friendly atmosphere is great. I have great respect for the people who manage Sunshine Villa. Sunshine Villa may be a very good option for many but they could not meet my loved ones needs.
Sunshine Villa has been excellent all around. We have experienced a safe and caring facility and staff. It's a great place to care for your loved ones.
After my good friend left Sunshine Villa all the cards I had sent her were for the past six months were returned to me unopened. Others had the same experience. Simply alerting her that she had mail was too much of a 'burden' for the staff, I suspect.
Sunshine Villa was an absolute disaster. I would never send even my dog to their memory care unit. The upstairs part looked fine. But their memory care unit was unacceptable. It looked and felt like a morgue.
I have been extremely happy with Sunshine. My mother is getting excellent care and the staff are a big plus. Thank you
The friendliness of the staff members and care services really stood out to us. Overall it was a good first impression. The rooms are very nice, and before COVID our loved one really enjoyed the food and eating in the dining room. She said it was good, and the servers are awesome.
