At Sunshine, dining is more than just a daily routine—it’s an experience that nourishes the body, evokes memories, and connects us all. Whether you’re enjoying flexible dining in our Independent Living communities or brain-healthy meals in Memory Care, our chefs prepare every dish with love, intention, and a commitment to wellness.

Watch Our Chefs in Action

OUR APPROACH

Two Approaches to Dining.
One Commitment to Quality.

Independent Living

Flexible Dining, Blue Zones® Inspired

Enjoy 24/7 access to fresh, chef-prepared meals designed with Blue Zones principles in mind—prioritizing plant-forward dishes, seasonal ingredients, and wholesome comfort foods.

Highlights

  • Eat when you want: three full meals daily plus anytime options
  • Mediterranean-style dishes with heart-healthy fats, whole grains, legumes, and produce
  • Resident-favorite classics and opportunities to submit your own recipes
  • Restaurant-style seating or private dining rooms for special gatherings
  • Locally sourced ingredients—some grown in our community gardens

Memory Care & Assisted Living

MIND Diet–Focused Meals

We follow the MIND Diet, developed by researchers to support brain health and slow cognitive decline. Meals are created to both stimulate memory and comfort residents with familiar tastes and textures.

Highlights

  • Leafy greens, berries, legumes, and whole grains featured daily
  • Limited red meat, cheese, sugar, and fried foods
  • Texture-modified meals available when needed
  • Staff trained to support sensory cues and encourage engagement
  • Dining as part of our memory-supportive routine

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The lunch they treated us to was excellent and plentiful. Everyone was welcoming and so friendly. I was able to secure a one bedroom apartment with a deck, so was very lucky! I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

The Brook Ridge staff are so kind and caring. The residents are happy and welcoming. The small touches are really nice (the checkers board in the library), the monthly calendar's being posted online, the beautiful grounds. I am always impressed with how well run everything is.

This place is wonderful. I go visit my mom every weekend and eat lunch with her. The helper angels that bring us the meal are always so kind and remember what we've gotten before and ask us if we want the same snacks or different ones. I had asked in this review to get my mom's closet fixed and they did a great job. When my mom's plumbing needed to be fixed for the toilet my mom called immediately and they fixed it the next day. My mom's room is very quiet and we cannot hear the neighbors. This location is close to where my mom is going to have surgery and is very convenient to hospitals. If furniture is not needed anymore, Brookridge saves it and has a sale so others in community may buy it. My mom bought some nice furniture and the wonderful helper angels working there brought the furniture directly to my mom's room. Only thing that might be better in the rooms would be to have vinyl flooring instead of carpet as the elderly might trip with the carpet. Plus the carpet keeps a lot more dust. Thank you for having a nice place to live.

My 100 year old mother has lived at Brook Ridge for two years. She and I highly recommend this retirement center. The staff, including supervisors, business, maintenance, food service, and housekeeping provide superior service. They know the residents and treat them like family. The facility is clean, attractive and kept up to date. I feel very secure and blessed that my mother is not just well cared for, but that she is loved at Brook Ridge.

The staff and management care for their "guests" in many ways: creating a friendly relationship; responding to guest's requests; and ensuring that their health and safety are their top priorities. As a relative of someone staying at Brook Ridge Retirement, I applaud the job they are doing.

My dad and his significant other moved into Brook Ridge recently. My wife and I came to visit for a few days and stayed in a guest unit. Staff is super friendly. Dining options were great. Maintenance staff were friendly and very accommodating. Super clean facility and kept nice inside and out. Excellent value for cost compared to amenities and overall fit and finish. Movie room. Library. Fitness room. Nice billiards area. Really nice outdoor pool and hot tub. Lots of in-house activities. Close to shopping and needed errands. Highly recommend and we really appreciate the caring staff that we experienced first hand. Most importantly, dad is very happy after moving from another facility that changed ownership and left much to be desired.
