Sunshine Assisted living LLC

My husband has been a hospice resident at Sunshine for 4 months. Before this, he was in a large facility in memory care. Because of frequent night falls when he was unsupervised, I was advised that he also needed 12 hour a night private duty care. I felt I had no choice but to begin to look for alternatives. When I moved him to Sunshine, the nurse/owner Tigist successfully brainstormed ways to prevent night falls. Her frequent communication with me and the whole hospice team is outstanding. I visit my husband daily in the common room and see the staff interact with him and the other residents. Each staff member is kind, friendly, capable, and extremely caring. The facility is always spotless and the meals are home cooked and nutritious. This is the best personal care my husband has received in his 7 years of assisted living with Parkinson’s. I have complete trust in Tigist and I would recommend Sunshine to anyone in search of an exceptional home.

I highly recommend Sunshine Assisted Living if you are looking for a caring and loving assistance home for your relative. When my mom fell and became ill there was no way my sister and I we could care for her. I feel so lucky that we found Tigi and Sunshine Assisted Living through a recommendation from one of mom’s nurses. Tigi and the Sunshine staff were amazing and took such wonderful, compassionate care of my mom. Mom wasn’t able to do much at all, but they made sure she was bathed and dressed every day and got out of bed and into a chair, which mom greatly appreciated. They took excellent care of her health and medical needs and fed her wonderful meals (that made my stomach growl when I was visiting). They really watched out for her to make sure she stayed as healthy as possible, alerting us whenever anything seemed off and helping address potential issues before they became serious problems. I believe their vigilance and excellent care saved mom’s life soon after she moved in. Even though mom was incapacitated and couldn’t join in the regular household activities they always made sure she felt cared for and involved. They read to her, played music for her, and celebrated birthdays and holidays with her. It was really a great comfort to me and my sister to know how well mom was being cared for at Sunshine. It was a difficult time for us, and while Tigi and the Sunshine staff were taking care of mom they also were taking care of my sister and me too by giving us peace of mind. I will always be grateful to everyone at Sunshine!

My mother was with Sunshine Assisted Living for about six months while my father was preparing to move across the country and after he moved. We were able to find a place in Oregon quicker than expected, just a couple months after he moved. We trusted Tigist and her staff completely to take care of Mom while we were across the country. On my first visit, I was prepared for the worst. I was beyond impressed. We showed up without notice. The house was immaculate and every subsequent visit it was clean and the food always smelled and looked delicious. My mother was happy and extremely well cared for. If we could have moved the entire house with us we would have. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom! If you are looking for a lovely home environment and amazingly caring staff who will become like family, you've found the right spot.

My mother was a resident at for 3 years and received exceptional care. We were incredibly lucky to have found them and had a wonderful experience. The owner, Tigi, is patient, kind, and full of energy. She, Ana, and the rest of the staff go above and beyond to not only provide care to the residents, but to get to know each resident on a personal level. Tigi, as a nurse with many years of experience, is extremely knowledgeable about medical issues. The staff is also incredibly attentive. My mother had two medical emergencies while she was there, and the staff immediately recognized the issue and got her appropriate care; they also nursed her back to health during both of these recoveries. The house was always spotless and homey. They served delicious, home-cooked, healthy meals, which meant my mother never lost her appreciation for good food and was always well nourished. Tigi was always so welcoming to our family, having even our extended family (children, grandchildren, great grandchildren) over for holidays and birthday parties. Sunshine Assisted Living is truly a special place.

My name is Jorge Diaz and my mother’s name is Iluminada Serrano Diaz. I recommend Sunshine Assistance Living without hesitation as the best place you will find in Northern Virginia for the care of your loved one. I recommend Sunshine Assistance Living above all others not just for the excellent treatment, love, and respect, but because you will be treated as family. I am sure you will receive the same response and recommendation from the other families with loved ones at the home. Unfortunately, my mother pass away back in September 2021. At the end of 2018, my family decided to move my mother from Florida to Virginia. At that time my sister and I were both living in Northern Virginia. My mother was living with my brother in Florida. We visited over 30 homes and facilities in Florida and Northern Virginia that could provide the care my mother needed. My mother was diagnosed with dementia, so she needed 24/7 care. During our facility search, we came across all source of facilities. None of them were good enough for us to put our mother in. They varied in costs from $3,500.00 to $10,000.00 per month. The facilities we visited went from overcrowding, to lack of cleanliness, to unbearable smells, to no activity, to the resident just sitting in common areas without anyone looking over them, to empty glamour that did not fulfill our expectations. I strongly recommend that you research over 10 other homes, you will understand what I am talking about. At the beginning of 2019 we came across Alexandria Assistance Livings, the previous facility. It was the perfect place we were looking for our mother. You will feel the sensation that you found the place for your loved one when you see it. At that time, they had only one other lady at the facility, Lila. Sometime later Mary arrived. I will mention why we found the perfect accommodation in Alexandria Assistance Living for my mother by mentioning just five of the thousand reasons: 1. Care. They provide an excellent care to all the ladies in the house. You are consulted in every decision, and they will guide you to the task of getting medical care in the area for your loved one. 2. Cleanliness. I visited the home at least once a week, at different times of the day. I did not witness even one occasion where the house was not neatly clean. Not once in my many visits did I witness my mom or any of the other ladies with the smell of urine, sweat, or looking dirty and/or unclean. 3. Treatment. I witness the love and real concern and care for my mother and the rest of the ladies at the facility. My mother was always clean, neatly dress, and never did I feel my mother was not treated with respect, love, and a lot of compassion. It takes very special human beings to care for dementia patients. Ana and the rest of the caregivers Elani, Erica and Kelem are very special people. 4. Activities. Tigist took the ladies on road trips, shopping and out to drink coffee and enjoy sweets at a cafe nearby. They had the hair and nails done at the home by Ana. They celebrated the Holidays, Thanksgivings, Valentine’s Day and each one of the ladies’ birthdays among other activities. You and your Family are invited to participate in all their activities. 5. Accommodation. My mother had her own room with plenty of space. She had all her decorations, closet and room neatly arrange each morning. She had the room decorated with family photos and memories, not just in her room, but some of them were placed in other places around the house. I will always have but love and respect for all the caregivers because of the way they treated my mother at the house. She was part of their family. My mother’s last three years were happy and full of love and compassion all thanks to the love and care she received from all of them. My mother was truly at home.
