Sunnyside Retirement Community

Sunnyside Retirement Community Sunnyside is nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. The Sunnyside campus is situated in Harrisonburg, Virginia on just over 100 acres.

As a Life Plan Community, we offer a full continuum of care—including independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing—providing peace of mind for the future. Homes have the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains and a direct view of Massanutten Peak. Sparkling ponds, gently rolling hills and beautiful gardens make Sunnyside a "little slice of heaven" for those who reside there.

A good listen alert 👀

Ever wonder how someone finds their way into senior living leadership or what really happens behind the scenes of a Life Plan Community?

Our President and CEO Josh Lyons was just featured on the LeadingAge Virginia Voices in Leadership podcast and it is full of great stories. From growing up around Sunnyside thanks to his dad’s legacy to building a culture rooted in collaboration care and community today this conversation gives a rare and very human look at leadership in action.

There is talk of mentoring future leaders. Why collaboration matters more than competition. A few glimpses into life outside the office. And an optimistic take on where senior living is headed next.

If you have ever been curious about the heart behind Sunnyside Communities this one is worth a listen.

So, if you have not been outside today, it is officially cold cold. Harrisonburg is headed for single digit temperatures tonight, and residents both human and four legged are officially in hunker down mode.

Still, the brave souls persist. Jenny Lyons’ dog, Babe, bundled up and headed out for a cheerful walk in the 16 degree air, proving once again that paws on pavement and a little winter sunshine make even the coldest days feel a bit warmer. 🐶❄️

Last night was Sunnyside at its most festive.

Our annual Holiday Gala brought live music, a beautiful quartet, dancing, a carving station, shrimp, lobster, and plenty of laughter. A pianist set the mood, and guests even took home printed photos from the photographer as keepsakes.

So much merriment in one lovely evening. 🎄✨

Residents and staff at Sunnyside in Harrisonburg gathered on December 3 for a ritual that has quietly become the unofficial opening of the holiday season on the campus. In the Highlands lobby, just after daybreak, the familiar work began. The tree, a tall and timeworn evergreen that has presided over more than three decades of celebrations, was lifted piece by piece from storage and assembled with the steady patience that has defined this tradition since its earliest years. It is not a hurried job. It is a job done with respect.

Today we pause to recognize the quiet, steady generosity that makes this place feel like home. Every act of kindness shapes the lives of our residents and lifts up the staff who serve them with such care. Our Fellowship Fund and our Employee Emergency Relief Fund exist because people who believe in this community choose to give so others can stand a little taller.

If you feel moved to support these efforts, we welcome it with grateful hearts. If you simply share a kind word or a moment of encouragement, that is a gift too.

Thank you for helping Sunnyside remain a place filled with compassion, dignity, and hope.
