The Sunshine Lady House for Mental Health Wellness and Recovery is a welcoming therapeutic residential program that helps men and women find stability in a crisis. In many cases, Sunshine Lady House can serve as an alternative to hospitalization. It also acts as a step-down transition to help people leave inpatient care.
The Sunshine Lady House opened in 2009, with help from local philanthropist Doris Buffett. The house was named for Buffett, who was often called the Sunshine Lady.
This 12-bed residential facility serves adults experiencing acute psychiatric crisis. It is the home for RACSB’s Crisis Stabilization Program, which began in 2007.
Guests receive comprehensive treatment: 24-hour supervision, art therapy, group sessions, individual counseling, medication evaluation, therapeutic arts, acupuncture, and more.
Before individuals enter the home, they are prescreened by RACSB Emergency Services. Throughout their stay, guests receive a variety of services aimed at mental wellness. These services are provided by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, counselors, nurses, qualified mental health providers, and contracted healthcare professionals.
Everything in the Sunshine Lady House is meant to aid in recovery from the colorful artwork–some of which was painted by former guests of the program–to the sleek furniture, stainless-steel appliances, and soothing color schemes.
