Overview of Sunshine Assisted Living

Sunshine Assisted Living offers assisted living, hospice care, and memory care in Alexandria, VA. Assisted living supports residents who need help with daily activities while maintaining independence, memory care provides supervision for people who need support related to cognitive health, and hospice care addresses end of life needs. The range of care types may suit a resident whose needs change over time or a family seeking multiple forms of support in one community.

Studio and one bedroom residences are available, giving a resident the choice of a single room layout or a separate bedroom arrangement. The starting price is $3,000 per month, which gives families an initial figure for monthly budgeting. Medication management helps residents organize or take their medications, while telehealth allows medical appointments to take place remotely.

A chapel and religious services provide an on site setting for worship or spiritual observance. Personalized mobility and nutrition coaching, cognitive health workshops, therapeutic virtual reality activities, digital social engagement tools, rehabilitation services, and the VELA Independence Chair address mobility, wellness, cognitive engagement, and connection through specific programs and services. With a Walk Score of 78, the area is very walkable, so most errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still get out independently.
