About Sunshine

Support should feel personal, respectful and genuinely human.

Nothing beats the feeling you’ve finally found the support you’ve been searching for.

A place where the whole person is welcome.

Why Sunshine exists

We built the kind of place we would want for our own families.

That’s why we’re working hard to create a unique space where each client feels valued and empowered to engage with their community in a confident and meaningful way.

Rather than starting with deficits, we begin with strengths, relationships and what meaningful participation looks like for each person. We listen carefully, explain things clearly and work alongside the people who know each client best.

Our promiseWe will see the person before the diagnosis, goal or report.
