The warm climate, abundant sunshine, and white sand beaches like those found at Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Bonita Beach, or Lovers Key State Park offer the ideal backdrop for a peaceful yet active lifestyle.

Last month, chefs from across Sunshine Retirement Living came together for our annual Chef Conference to cook, learn, and connect with the people who make our culinary teams so special. 💛
From plate presentation and photo-ready dishes to collaboration and leadership, our chefs shared their knowledge and learned from one another. Together, they explored their own “culinary DNA” and reflected on what it means to truly listen to the teams they lead.
Beyond the presentations, there was time to cook side by side, exchange ideas, welcome new chefs, and catch up on life outside the kitchen. Those moments matter. They’re how colleagues across the country become the Sunshine family.
A special thank-you to Spencer Guzman, PhD, MBA,CEC, who leads our Sunshine chefs nationwide, for the hard work, care, and inspiration behind this year’s conference.
And to every chef who attended, presented, cooked, or shared an idea, thank you for making this gathering what it was. Whether you’re new to Sunshine or have been with us for years, your experience, creativity, and dedication make our entire team stronger.
At the heart of it all are our residents. What we learn together comes back to their tables through the meals we prepare and the care we put into every dining experience.
That’s the Sunshine difference.
