The Sunshine Home is located in Jalan Templer, Petaling Jaya, near Assunta Girl's School. The Sunshine Home is an old folks home which true to it's nam, hands the old folks a bit of sunshine in their lives . Their friendly workers try their best to be like sons and daughters to them, feeding them, helping them and spending as much time with them as possible.
The impressive facilities in this home are more than satisfactory, with 19 beds and a choice of either a single room, or a bigger double room. The upstairs living room is also equipped with Astro for those old folks that enjoy catching dramas or the news. Showers with water heaters are also part of this home and all rooms are air conditioned. For their safety, there are bed-side call panels in case of emergencies. Physiotherapy is also provided if needed.
The home itself is a white, two story bungalow with ample lawn space for outdoor activities. The Sunshine Home Petaling Jaya’s goal is to build a lift so that it will be easier for the old folks and they will not need to climb stairs as their branch in Penang already has a lift.
The staff there said that the old folks that stay there normally come to them sad and silent, which is understandable as they probably feel abandoned by their children or because they are lonely and the staff there try to be as much of a family to them as they can. Homes like these that don't give the sense that they are in a special home but instead make the atmosphere cosy and comfortable like a real home by giving these old folks a ray of sunshine in their lives.
