There is no better place for adult care! Anna and her home care people are just the best, kind loving, anyone would be so grateful to have their elder loved ones in this home. My mother has been in this home for the past eight years and we couldn't have picked a more loving home. Every visit, my mom was so happy, so we'll cared for and everyone gets a birthday party, dress up for fun times. Lots of shared pictures. read more

I cannot imagine a more loving, competent and clean place for seniors who need a little extra care in their final years. My mother spent her last nearly six years in Sunshine Home Adult Foster Care Home. Ana Imes and Krystyna her main employee truly love their residents and they really know what they are doing. The home is incredibly clean - none of the "old people smell" of most nursing homes. The food is great home-cooked and individualize according to the resident's needs. They also really know their stuff when it comes to nursing for old people. Oregon has a very tough inspection system for adult foster care homes. Ana consistently scores very highly, this last year earning a perfect score and is highly respected by doctors in our area. I want you to ask yourself how much attention and time you or your love one needs from the staff at a senior living facility. After my father died, we moved my mother who was already suffering from demention to an assisted living facility, an ALF in the area. The ALF was beautiful. She had a nice bedroom and they had in theory lots of activities. The reality however was that there were 27 residents for every medication aid on staff and their one registered nurse was available only 40 hours a week. The staff meant well but was also very inexperienced. The dining room was beautiful but the food was terrible. There were activities but few participated and most residents seemed very unhappy. In the course of six weeks at this ALF my mother fell three times related to problems with a UTI, each time winding up for several hours alone on the floor of her apartment before the staff discovered her and had her taken to the ER. Consider, what happens to you or your loved one if they are alone and fall in their appartment and no one checks on them for several hours? This is common in Assisted Living Facilities. After my morher's third fall the local social services and my doctor recommended we move mom to Sunshine Home Adult Foster Care Home in Depoe Bay, Oregon. It was the best thing that could have happened. My mom was really difficult to handle in the early years because of her dementia. She refused, for example to believe that my father had died and would go looking for him. She could be quite combative and hard to get along with. Ana and Krystyna worked with her through all that to provide a safe, loving environment. Ana would sometimes stay up all night with her, sleeping just outside her room in case my mother needed something. In the last year as my mother's condition continued to deteriorate due to age it became necessary to spoon feed her. Ana and Krystyna cooked fresh, wholesome food and when necessary pureed it for my Mom. In the last few months it would somtimes take one of them an hour or more to feed my mother by hand. I don't think you can get that kind of care in any ALF or nursing home. How can an ALF or nursing home beat a resident to staff ratio of 4 or 5 to 1? How can you beat the kind of experience and love demonstrated by these ladies? Sunshine Home was without question the best choice for my family and may be for yours. read more

If there were a higher rating I would give it in a heartbeat. In January 2008 we admitted our mom into the loving care of Ana Imes and her staff at the Sunshine Home Care, an adult Foster Care Home. Mom was 89 and suffered from senile dementia, a disease of varying severity that many elderly suffer. When admitted, she could still walk and eat and converse to a limited degree, but she was unable to care for herself in many other essential ways. She was frequently combative to anyone who tried to help her, refused to take any medication without extreme coaxing, and was unable to either cook, plan or carry out other routine daily activities. Our father had recently passed away at the age of 92, which contributed to her confusion and general malaise. Mom had previously been discharged from an Alzheimer's unit and tried assisted living which proved to be a disaster. We didn't want to put her into a nursing home. We moved her to Lincoln City so she could be close to family. We arranged for a local Physician who recommended Ana and her staff at Sunshine Home as an alternative. Ana and Krystyna proceeded to stabilize Mom and worked with her new Lincoln City Physician to evaluate the many medications that Mom had accumulated over the years. Mom received absolutely the finest of care. Sunshine home has a capacity for 6 patients. Ana and her staff provided calm, compassionate comprehensive 24/7 care that respected and preserved Mom's dignity. Mom was with them for almost 6 years and towards the end it took them almost 2 hours just to feed her each meal. She was incontinent the entire time she was in Sunshine Home. She was bed ridden for her last couple of years and yet she never had a bed sore or any other skin problems. Ana establishment was always clean and odor free. Our family, which is committed to our mom, always felt that Ana was the only reason that Mom survived until just a couple of weeks ago when she died peacefully one month short of her 95th birthday. read more
