Independent Living
Sunshine Retirement Living's Independent Living communities provide a wonderful environment where our residents can maintain an independent lifestyle while nurturing their social, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. Independent Living communities are best suited for seniors able to enjoy an active lifestyle with minimal support in an atmosphere providing abundant social connection opportunities. As our resident's requirements change or the need for higher care arises, we partner with local third-party care providers to provide additional support. Our mission is to enable residents to enjoy the comforts of home, with an engaged staff to take care of their needs, daily home maintenance, and yard work so they can enjoy a well-deserved retirement in comfort and safety. Our 24/7 staffing ensures caring and competent professionals are on hand to take care of needs and potential emergencies at any time, day or night.
Our Independent Living communities offer resort-style living with spacious, pet-friendly apartments set up with standard safety features such as emergency pull cords and optional, wireless pendants, as well as amenity options like fully-equipped kitchens, walk-in closets, in-unit washers and dryers, and private balconies to name a few. Restaurant-style dining and beautifully maintained, park-like landscaping delight the senses, and our focused activity and fitness programs keep seniors active and engaged. With planned activities, both on-site and off, transportation options, and knowledgeable concierge staff, there are always fun and enriching activities to choose from.
We have many beautiful communities to choose from with over 30 locations around the U.S., each with its own unique, regional flavor. Our residents enjoy the freedom to stay in any of our Sunshine Retirement Living communities when traveling or visiting a new area. All our communities offer month-to-month leases with no long-term commitments.
Assisted Living and Personal Care
We understand that, in many people's lives, a transitional time comes when additional assistance for daily living is required. Sunshine Retirement Living provides options that respect and cherish our residents with the finest care and amenities available. We're here to help your loved ones gently transition to an environment where they can enjoy personalized care options and a plan as uniquely individual as they are. The needs, goals, and interests of each of our residents are our highest priority in everything we do.
At our Assisted Living and Personal Care communities, our nursing team and trained caregivers offer a higher level of individualized care that includes services ranging from medication management to assistance with daily activities such as hygiene and healthcare. Assisted Living and Personal Care communities are ideal for seniors wishing to retain their independence to the fullest possible extent, but who may need assistance with some daily tasks such as taking medication, getting dressed, or keeping their apartments clean and tidy.
Sunshine is an innovator in cutting-edge Life Enrichment programs because we know that social, cognitive, and emotional health is just as important as physical health. Our Assisted Living and Personal Care communities provide abundant opportunities for fostering friendships and engaging in social activities. Our Assisted Living and Personal Care communities are also all conveniently located near shopping centers, restaurants, hospitals, parks, churches, and more with complimentary transportation and assistance available to make exploring accessible and enjoyable.
Our Assisted Living and Personal Care communities offer a full spectrum of services such as personal hygiene and grooming, dressing and clothes selection, showering and bathing assistance, meal assistance, continence management, mobility support, socialization, and medication assistance. Our professional and trained staff are on-site 24/7 to monitor residents and assist them with needs small and large, including emergencies. Taking care of our beloved residents means taking care of their entire family and giving them peace of mind knowing that we're here to ensure the most enriching environment possible.
Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care
It's challenging and emotional for families to experience the effects of Alzheimer's and dementia on their loved ones. We understand the sense of loss that family members and loved ones experience as the effects of dementia progress. The good news is that you don't have to go through this stage of life alone. Sunshine Retirement Living is here with knowledgeable and caring staff and enriching programs that nourish and enrich the life of your loved one while helping everyone in the family feel taken care of.
Our Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities are for those who are starting to experience early memory issues and require more nuanced cognitive care than available in assisted living or are already experiencing Alzheimer's or other dementias.
Sunshine's Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care communities are designed with an innovative transitional assisted living and memory care Life Enrichment Program that encompasses the Sunshine Pillars of Wellness by focusing on your loved one's physical care as well as their social, spiritual, sensory, emotional, and cognitive needs. Our programs and specialized care are designed to ease the symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia and celebrate their life. Our innovative approach to the challenges experienced by our transitional assisted living and memory care residents and their families can be viewed here.
Not only do we care for your loved one, but we are also here for you and your family as well, with a wealth of educational resources to guide you on the journey, as well as health and wellness advisors to answer your questions. Maintaining the identity of your loved one and your family heritage are at the forefront of our person-centered approach. We believe no one should be defined by the symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia, and that a life of meaning and purpose can be accomplished in the right care environment.
Respite Care
Temporary care is available to provide relief and assistance for regular caregivers or those in transitional situations. Families are afforded the peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are receiving supervision, socialization, wellness, and nutrition. Most commonly, short-term care is used for the following reasons:
Respite/Hospital Discharge
Respite is a term to describe a short stay for seniors who have been discharged from a hospital or other medical facility but are not physically prepared to return home. We treat short-term visitors with the same warmth and respect as our long-term residents. In fact, we find that our residents welcome new guests with open arms and inclusiveness. There's a sense of camaraderie in the air when someone stays with us short-term because our residents understand the need to be surrounded by optimistic friends, especially during times of healing and recovery.
Vacation/Trial Stay
Before transitioning into a community, seniors have a chance to meet staff and other residents through a vacation or trial stay. They can experience activities and the dining program before deciding to move into a community. The program is intended to lessen the fear or anxiety usually associated with moving and changing residences. We welcome you and your family to visit us for a free tour and see if you'd like to sample the lifestyle.

I’ve been going to the Clairmont for probably eight years now. I love how engaged the residents are and how they have the big cornhole tournament with The Continental Retirement. They’re outdoor space is sprawling and bright. Many of the residents have dogs who light up the room. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced independent living community, swing by and say hello to Francine for me. She and David are a pleasure to work with.

I hate giving a five star review because I don't read five star reviews anymore as they are usually untrustworthy, if not outright lies, however, I'm making an exception here. I cannot imagine a better facility within my price range!!

First of all I'd like to say that the Clairmont is doing a pretty good job but could do better. I have had trouble with the billing department getting back to me. There was a problem with the facility apartment insurance request. I paid and submitted the forms about a month prior to move-in and the first bill over 6 weeks later included a fee for not having insurance. I tried contacting the billing office and requested a call back to get things clarified. This did not happen and the problem was not fixed. I again went to Francine who has been my anchor at the Clairmont to get problems fixed. I finally received approval of the policy on October 17th but I had submitted the information in early August! In addition the bill itself was incorrect. The dinning room food has improved, per my father, but the utensils are still awful! I do wish your administrative staff would try using the forks at the facility and imagine that they have arthritis in their hands as these residents frequently do. My dad does better with most plastic forks than the forks supplied at the Clairmont. Please, this should be an easy upgrade. One thing we really appreciate is the ability to have a pet and to have a fenced "yard" area outside of their apartment. I think this adds a homey feel for many of the residents. Better water access would be a plus for those with outside plants. You have outside waste bins for doggy waste but no plastic bags at the one outside of the building for the last 6 weeks. Your showers do not have safety bars inside of the shower, Since most of the residents at this facility use walkers, canes or wheelchairs, why do you think it unnecessary to have a safety bar inside of the shower? This would be a considerate and wise upgrade for the apartments. Overall, we (the family) really like this facility and the people who live and work there. My Dad is still adjusting......

While staff and residents are pretty awesome, the subcontractors for work on the apartment have been pretty awful. The shower redo was not properly done with exposed ceramic surfaces instead of using Schluter trim or bullnose tiles. In the process of either the tile work or the repainting, the floor was heavily scratched. It is not a good look and we do not want rugs in the room due to mobility issues. The Spectrum system is not hooked up properly so does not work for the TV. The air conditioner is making a very loud and obnoxious noise after servicemen worked on something with the system. It did not make this noise when we checked out the apartment. The painters did not use drop cloths apparently as paint spatters were all over the floor. Fortunately the spots would pry off fairly easily. The dining room did not have clean utensils for the second setting of lunch. The utensils they did supply were about the cheapest , thin, and hard to use I have ever seen. So we sat and looked at our salads for about 8 mins until new utensils could be found. All in all a sub-par start.

My mother just moved in and has been very happy with Francine and the team. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. She is excited about the opportunity to make some new friends and have some activities to join in on. The food is very tasty and we have enjoyed each time we’ve eaten there. There are a number of enclosed courtyards as well as nice walking access around the property. I’m very happy for my mother and it gives me peace of mind to know she’s in a good community.
