Sunshine Home Care Inc sits in a quiet part of Montgomery Village in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where a big shady tree stands in front of the house and gives a calm feel right from the start, and the setting really does look and feel like a family home, so mature adults who don't like larger or busy places find it peaceful. Residents here get care around the clock with trained and friendly staff, and there's always a nurse on call for medical needs. The caregivers do their best to help older adults and people with special needs stay as independent as they can, helping with daily tasks, personal care, and health needs like diabetic care, incontinence, and support for those who can't move around easily, while also offering specialized Alzheimer's, dementia, and memory care for anyone who needs more structured support.
The home welcomes both men and women as residents, and the atmosphere is warm and feels intimate because the staff treats everyone like family, calling the place a "Board and Care Home," where each resident can decorate their private suites to feel at home. Residents' choices matter, so staff creates personalized care plans to fit what each person wants or needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, and they also have a clear commitment to avoiding unnecessary medication use by focusing on assessments and listening to each person's concerns. Those living here also enjoy bright spaces with plenty of natural light, helping everyone feel positive throughout the day.
Sunshine Home Care Inc provides both meals each day and a range of activities, both inside and outside, from group exercises, arts and crafts, devotional activities, outings, and family events, to quiet time in indoor and outdoor common areas. There are onsite devotional services, with spiritual and social opportunities for anyone interested, along with a schedule that sometimes takes residents offsite into the surrounding Montgomery Village neighborhood for other activities. Pets-both cats and dogs-are welcome and the home includes pet care services like pet sitting, walking, daycare, boarding, and grooming, all of which make it easier for pet owners to keep their companions, and even help with pet cleaning needs to go along with home cleaning services like deep cleaning and move-out cleaning. There's a strict no-smoking rule for all indoor spaces, which helps keep the air safe and comfortable.
Specialized healthcare is readily available, with a podiatrist, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, as well as a dentist, visiting the home as needed, so people don't always have to leave for appointments, and hospice care and respite care are also options for families facing those situations. Complimentary transportation makes it easy to get to outside appointments or activities, and there's parking for residents who can drive. The staff encourages everyone to join in games, conversations, and group events so friendships grow, and no one feels left out. Residents can also participate in devotional activities and spiritual programs, both onsite and offsite, as part of a full range of social and recreational choices.
Sunshine Home Care Inc is locally owned and operated, giving it a small, personal feel that some large facilities just don't have, and the staff's goal really is to treat everyone like parents or longtime friends, putting comfort and well-being at the center of daily life. The community is licensed as an assisted living facility, offers skilled nursing when needed, and has a rating of 3.0 stars-Very Good-showing it meets a strong standard of care. The focus remains on comfort, safety, and helping residents live life on their own terms, with dignity, care, and a chance to enjoy every day in a peaceful, homelike setting.
