·         Speaking of PTO- you work hard, and we want to help celebrate you! We do this by giving additional PTO for your birthday!

·         Free Employee Assistance Program which includes counseling and comprehensive personal supports. Our EAP is not only for team members but their family as well.

·         Teladoc- a virtual medical program to help you quickly see a provider for treatment and prescriptions

·         Our communities are proud of the top-notch culinary programs that we provide to our residents, and we can’t ask you to work all day without having a break to enjoy as well! Who else provides free shift meals created by executive chefs?

·         Live in the moment but plan for the future- Sunshine has a 401K plan and we offer company matching after 1 year of service.
