Overview of Sunnyhill Independence Center

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn TikTok Pinterest

Sunnyhill Independence Center, located at 3343 Armbruster Road in De Soto, Missouri, is a 32-bed community designed specifically for adults who have or are suspected of having a developmental disability diagnosed before age 22. Led by administrator Megan Shoults and operated by Sunnyhill, Inc., the home focuses entirely on individualized, person-centered support rather than traditional retirement care.

Daily life here centers on building independence and life skills. The community provides recreational trips through Adventures Camp & Travel, behavioral coaching via ABA Behavioral Supports, and daily meals in The Sunlit Kitchen. Families also have access to guidance through Advocacy & Family Navigation, while day-to-day independent living services are coordinated through local networks like Greater STL and JeffCo Residential Supports.

The center stays close to full capacity with a 97 percent occupancy rate. Its neighborhood has a walkability score of 50 out of 100, meaning residents can manage some regular walks and short errands on foot, while medical appointments and major shopping require a vehicle. If you want to see the campus, the staff hosts in-person tours Monday through Friday during regular business hours.

Prospective residents or family members interested in specialized developmental care can contact the De Soto office directly to ask about open beds.
