About Us
Sunshine Care Homes Inc., also known as Sunshine Homes, is a small, privately run organization that proudly operates a series of small Community Based Options (CBO's) homes that have been serving the Halifax Regional Municipality since 1985. All homes fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Community Services and are Licensed under the Homes for Special Care Act.
We refer to our homes as a community as that describes what we are all about. Being small we can add the personal touch and flexibility to everything we do. Having long-term staff and clients has really created a family environment which a lot of our clientele long for and deserve. We are a community-based organization focused on helping individuals live to their full potential by providing a supportive, supervised home environment where they work to achieve their goals of independence and personal growth. Our clientele can be individuals with persistent or chronic psychiatric illnesses, as well as those with developmental and physical disabilities.

Quality of Life Philosophy
Sunshine Homes offers a client-centered approach to service delivery. Maximizing quality of life is the core objective of our service and is therefore the foundation from which all of our services are delivered. Every service delivery, structure and decision must answer the question, "Does this serve to enhance or contribute to the client's quality of life?" The basic values establishing quality of life include: Bodily integrity, feeling safe, being safe, self-worth, life structure, belongingness, community inclusion, meaningful daily activities and inner contentment. Quality of life is experienced in the present. It is also perceived on an individual basis and will vary from person to person. It is not for the service provider to define quality of life, but rather to facilitate exposure to diverse experiences to support the client in establishing their own definition.
