For me, Sunshine Communities is about family.
I’m not only a manager of three residential homes, but I’m also the proud niece of Regina K. who calls Olimphia South home. Watching her thrive—her house immaculate, her smile brighter, and her life full of purpose—changed our entire family’s view of what care should look like.
After my grandmother’s passing, knowing Regina was cherished, kept safe, and treated with dignity meant everything to us. When staff member Una whisked her away to see The Price Is Right in California, we knew this place wasn’t just special, it was extraordinary.
That experience pulled me in.
Sunshine didn't just support my aunt; they inspired me. When I give tours to new staff, I often pause mid-sentence to hug my auntie.
People are surprised, until I tell them, “She is why I’m here.” At that moment, they don’t just hear about our culture—they feel it. Working here felt like a calling, inspired by the care my aunt received.
When cancer entered my story, Sunshine wrapped around me with love. Calls, cards, flexibility—grace in every form. From the moment I returned, the smiles from the individuals I support told me everything.
At Sunshine, love becomes your job description.
It is active, present, and shared in both quiet care and big, bold gestures. It is a place where your coworkers become your circle, and your purpose walks beside you.
If you ask what specific aspect of Sunshine makes people feel loved, it’s truly everything. Every interaction, each moment of support provided by staff. The joy and smiles shared not only uplifts individuals, but also energizes our team, and helps the entire agency thrive through meaningful connections.
