Sunshine Assisted Living - The Cottage

Sunshine Assisted Living - The Cottage sits in a peaceful neighborhood of Paradise, California, where the country setting and relaxed family atmosphere give seniors a chance to feel at home, and really, you'll notice the simple joys here-wide shade trees in the yard, flowers blooming, and plenty of places to sit and visit, like the common room or the back patio. The Cottage, licensed for 17 residents, offers both private and shared rooms with wheelchair accessible showers and views you can see in the photos, plus weekly housekeeping, laundry services, and all meals included, which means you don't have to worry about the cooking, and meals come prepared by skilled chefs and meal planners who serve up home cooking with vegetarian and nutritious options most days, often hosting holiday feasts and special events throughout the year. Staff help with bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, and any daily tasks, taking time to check in on everyone with kindness and extra care, including help for those with incontinence, high acuity needs, or disabilities such as hearing, vision, or mobility issues, and residents can get specialized support for illnesses like Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, heart disease, ALS, and more. You'll have transportation and parking if you drive, and the facility gives complimentary rides for errands or trips around town, while parking for residents and visitors comes free as well. Activities here, whether off-site or on-site in the hands of the activity coordinator, range from movie nights and scheduled daily gatherings to strolls along garden paths, crafts, beautician services, plus a manicurist and professional hair stylist so you always feel cared for. The Cottage welcomes small pets, takes care of groundskeeping and maintenance, and covers all utility bills except the phone, aiming to eliminate worry for residents. The House and The Cottage operate side by side, each housing up to 17 people, and the environment stays quiet and supportive-board and care home services blend with assisted living, and everyone gets a "home away from home" feel. There are community-sponsored activities and chances to meet friends, along with support for medical appointments, bill paying, and general advocacy if needed. Trained, professional staff are on-site 24 hours a day, ready to help and provide support, and families can use a message service to get information or help quickly. Managed by CiminoCare, a family-owned, state-licensed senior care group, Sunshine Assisted Living - The Cottage focuses on comfort, safety, and promoting as much independence as each person can handle, with short-term respite stays available for those needing temporary care. The community doesn't accept Medicare, and isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but instead follows its own high standards, guided by a focus on compassionate and responsible care for elders looking for stability, care management, a friendly community, and a touch of good old-fashioned home living.
