At Sunnyside Communities, compassion and person-centered care are at the heart of everything we do. That commitment extends beyond medical treatment and daily support — it includes ensuring that each resident’s personal wishes are heard, honored, and respected throughout every stage of life.

We are proud to share that all chaplains across Sunnyside in Harrisonburg, Summit Square in Waynesboro, and King’s King's Grant in Martinsville have completed certification in POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment).

At Sunnyside Communities, we have always believed that a thriving community begins with a thriving team. That belief was reaffirmed this fall when Sunnyside Communities officially earned Great Place to Work® Certification.

“This recognition means so much because it comes directly from our team,” said Josh Lyons, President and CEO. “Culture does not happen by accident. It is something we build together every day. The compassion, collaboration, and sense of purpose our staff bring to their work are what make Sunnyside truly special. This certification reflects who we are today and who we aspire to continue to be.”

“I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here’s to friends new and old and the little moments that make life brighter — coffee with a friend, laughter in the hallway, or a quiet walk on a crisp fall morning.

As the season of thanks begins, we’re reminded that gratitude grows strongest when shared.

There’s enough to stress about in life — where you spend your retirement years shouldn’t be one of them.

On this National Stress Awareness Day, let Sunnyside Communities take your have to and turn it into a want to. You don’t have to mow the lawn. You don’t have to leave campus for a haircut, massage, or manicure. You don’t even have to cook dinner if you don’t feel like it.

Want to take a walk? We’ve got trails that wind through peaceful woods. Want to spend time with your pup? Two of our three campuses even have their own dog parks. Want to sit by the lake with a good book and a cup of coffee? We highly recommend it.

Life here is all about less stress, more living — and a whole lot of joy in between. 🌿
