Sunnyside
Where connection and independence live side by side.
Live how you want. Really.
At Sunnyside, your days are yours. Fill them up with classes, clubs, travel, and conversations that turn into dinner plans. Or keep it slow. Coffee. A good book. That Shenandoah Valley view doing what it does best.
This isn’t about staying busy. It’s about staying engaged. Connected. Curious. Comfortable in a place that actually feels like home.
As a Life Plan Community, Sunnyside gives you freedom now and reassurance for later. Independent living with a built-in plan. If your needs change, you don’t have to start over. We’ve already thought ahead so you don’t have to.
Welcome to Sunnyside.

Your choices might look like a morning class in our award-winning Wellness Center. Or lingering over dinner with new friends at the Marketplace, Tartan Grill, or 1912 Bistro. Maybe it’s diving into a continuing education course just because you can.
You’ll even choose the home and floor plan that fits your life best. Cozy. Spacious. Somewhere in between.
