Welcome to Sunshine Supports

Looking to take a break or try living on your own for the first time? We’ve got you covered! Based in Kitchener-Waterloo, we offer flexible respite options—including cozy stays in our fully furnished apartment—and one-to-one support that fits your life. Thinking about independence? Our Independent Living Trials are a great way to see what it’s like to live on your own, with just the right amount of support. Whether you need a little time to recharge, want to build life skills, or just explore what’s next, we’re here to help make it happen. And if there’s something you don’t see? Let us know—we’re always up for trying new things! 

Our Values - Brightening Lives with support

 

At Sunshine Supports, we recognized a gap in services for people with disabilities, mental health needs, and seniors seeking alternatives to traditional care. Specifically, there is a shortage of Passport workers, Respite care providers, and independent living trials. We are dedicated to filling that need for Kitchener-Waterloo.


Our team is committed to providing personalized, flexible support that goes beyond care — we focus on empowering individuals to participate fully in their communities. By listening to the unique needs of each person, we aim to create opportunities for meaningful engagement and connection, free from the usual limitations.
