Overview of Sunnyhill Independence Center

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn TikTok Pinterest

Sunnyhill Independence Center is a 32-bed assisted living facility at 3343 Armbruster Road, De Soto, Missouri, operated by Sunnyhill, Inc., a nonprofit, and administrated by Megan Shoults. The facility specializes in residential services for individuals with developmental disabilities, serving those with DD diagnosis prior to age 22 or suspected DD. The person-centered care model emphasizes individualized support, family navigation, behavioral supports, and independent living assistance.

The facility’s operational model differs substantially from traditional senior care. Specialized programming includes Adventures Camp & Travel, Advocacy & Family Navigation, ABA Behavioral Supports, Independent Living Supports, Greater STL Residential Supports, JeffCo Residential Supports, and The Sunlit Kitchen.

Operating hours are Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM, with limited weekend and after-hours staffing. Behavioral support protocols and clinical outcomes specific to developmental disability services should be verified directly with the facility.

The facility’s inspection profile shows zero routine inspections compared to the Missouri state average of seven. The walk score of 50 reflects moderately walkable surroundings; some services are reachable on foot, though most daily needs require transportation. De Soto’s proximity to regional healthcare and behavioral health resources warrants verification given the facility’s specialization.

Missouri residents with developmental disabilities may access multiple payment assistance programs, including Medicaid A&D Waiver, Supplemental Nursing Care, Structured Family Caregiving Waiver, MO HealthNet Aged/Blind/Disabled, Medicare Savings Program, Caregiver Program, and Veterans Aid and Attendance.

Families should ask about after-hours and emergency protocols, staffing qualifications, occupancy, behavioral support protocols and outcome metrics, licensing, and inspections from Sunnyhill Independence Center.
