Shoutout to Our Amazing Leader, Matt!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Sunshine, thanks to the incredible talent and dedication of our very own Matt!

Matt pours his heart into decorating every Christmas tree across our campus, making sure each one brings joy, wonder, and that extra-special holiday magic to our residents. His creativity is unmatched, and his love for making others feel special truly shines this time of year.

And a big thank-you to Luke for jumping in and lending a helping hand — volunteers makes the holiday sparkle even brighter!

We appreciate you both for bringing so much cheer to Sunshine!

Pictures don't do these trees justice, come see them in person.

What an amazing day filled with laughter, sweet treats, and festive spirit!
Our Fall Festival had it all - a bake sale full of delicious goodies, a costume contest that brought out everyone’s creativity, and a costume parade that lit up the halls with smiles.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Sunshine Health Facilities — where there’s always a reason to smile (and snack on candy)! We love seeing the joy that comes with a little Halloween magic — from silly monsters to sweet princesses, everyone’s bringing their A-game (and their sweet tooth)!

Halloween Fun at Sunshine!

It’s Halloween Theme Dress-Up Day and our halls are filled with lots of laughter!

Pumpkin Decorating & Carving Contest in the Sunshine lobby — our team’s creativity was on full display!

And of course, nothing warms the soul like our Chili Cook- we tasted, voted, and cheered on our favorites!

At Sunshine, we work hard and have even more fun doing it!

Fall Festival Fun at Sunshine!
We’re in full Fall Festival mode here at Sunshine — and we don’t do things halfway!
So far, we’ve tackled Football Day (and tackled a few tacos at the Taco Bar), cozied up for Pajama Day, and kicked off our Door Decorating Contest — the creativity is off the charts!
Next up: Flannel Day and Hot Chocolate followed by our big Costume Contest and Bake Sale.
At Sunshine, we celebrate hard and have even more fun!

Sunshine Health’s 2025 Leadership Retreat!
Our leadership team just wrapped up an incredible week at Hills Resort — and what a rejuvenating and inspiring few days it was!
This year’s theme was all about self-care, with an amazing coaching session from Mitch Harrison reminding us how important it is to refill your tank so you can continue to lead with purpose and positivity.
After that, we rolled up our sleeves for two full days of strategic planning for 2026 — mapping out exciting goals and big ideas for the year ahead.
Of course, we also soaked up some sunshine and fun along the way! From delicious meals at Millie’s Restaurant, to popcorn and treats, Trivia and Slingo, peaceful nature walks, stories from the owners, and even a few brave souls taking a polar plunge — it was the perfect mix of work, connection, and laughter.
We headed home refreshed, motivated, and ready for all the amazing things Sunshine will bring next!

Beyond her amazing career, Dr. Bishop is a proud mom to her teenage son, Charlie. When she’s not caring for patients or teaching, you can find her enjoying cycling, yoga, or traveling the world.

Exciting progress at Sunshine on Raymond!

The walls are standing tall, the roof is on, and the sealant is in place. Now, crews are hard at work on the interior — every day brings us one step closer to opening our doors.

We can’t wait to welcome residents and families into this beautiful new assisted living community, built on over 75 years of family-owned and operated care. Stay tuned… the dream is becoming reality right before our eyes!
