At Sunshine Home Care Services, our care is built on three essential pillars:

• Communication – You will always have open access to your caregiver and a dedicated case manager who ensures you’re informed and supported 24/7.
• Integrity – Trust is the foundation of care. All our caregivers are carefully screened, trained, and matched to meet your family’s needs.
• Performance – We deliver the professional, compassionate care we promise. Our team adapts as your loved one’s needs change, with accountability and follow-up built into every care plan.

We are dedicated to:

• Recruiting, training, and retaining the most qualified caregivers.
• Supporting and recognizing staff as our most valuable asset.
• Providing a positive work environment that enhances caregiver performance.
• Building trusted relationships with families, healthcare providers, and the community.
• Following strict ethical and professional standards of the home care industry.
• Continuously improving our services with accountability and transparency.

Use this checklist to assess care needs:

1. Daily Living Needs – Does your loved one need help with meals, bathing, or mobility?
2. Hands-On vs. Companion Care – Do they need medical assistance or mainly companionship?
3. Transportation – Can they get safely to appointments or social activities?
4. Memory Loss – Has there been a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, Dementia, or cognitive decline?
5. Language – Do they need a caregiver who speaks their language?
6. Care Hours – How many hours of care per day are needed?
7. Dietary Needs – Are there food allergies or special meal requirements?
8. Skilled Care – Do they need monitoring like blood pressure checks or medication management?
9. Medication – Are prescriptions being taken correctly and safely?
10. Care Management – Is ongoing supervision or coordination with doctors required?

Before choosing a provider, ensure they have:

• Proper state licensure and business licenses.
• Caregivers classified as employees (not contractors) with payroll taxes covered.
• Workers’ Compensation Insurance & Liability Insurance.
• Background checks on all caregivers.
• Ongoing training and supervision for staff.
• 24/7 on-call support for families.
• Family access to a secure online care portal to monitor services in real time.

At Sunshine Home Care, we meet and exceed all of these standards.

Senior driver safety is a major concern. Warning signs may include:

• Trouble seeing road signs or passing vision tests.
• Increased anxiety while driving.
• Frequent dents or traffic violations.
• Avoiding highways or night driving.

If safety is a concern, we encourage families to work with physicians, consider alternate transportation, and involve our caregivers for safe travel to appointments, errands, and social activities. Our trained caregivers provide transportation assistance so seniors remain independent without the risks of unsafe driving.
