Sunshine Adult Day Health Care Center
Bergenfield’s Sunshine Adult Day Health Care Center sits on N. Washington Avenue in a moderately walkable stretch of Bergen County. A Walk Score of 63 means families or clients on foot can manage some errands nearby, though not everything is within easy walking distance. Steven Edelstein administers the center, which is owned by First Healthcare Bergenfield, LLC.
The program list here is more specific than most day centers. Alongside general rehabilitation services, Sunshine runs Adult Day Care Resources, Specialized Client Services, a track for developmental disabilities, and a program for veterans. That’s not a generic activity calendar. It points to a center set up to handle clients with more particular support needs, not just supervised daytime hours.
On the regulatory side, inspections have tended to center on care planning and documentation, the paperwork and process side of care rather than direct hands-on treatment. Medicaid is accepted, which matters for the many families weighing adult day services against tighter budgets.
What emerges is a center built around specialization. Between the veterans’ program, the developmental disabilities track, and Specialized Client Services, Sunshine reads less like a catch-all day program and more like one shaped around specific client populations, with Medicaid coverage as the access point.
