Our Process
Step 1 – Discovery Call and Pre-Screening
The journey begins with a brief, 10-minute phone consultation. This allows the family to share their specific needs and allows your team to ensure the member is a good fit for the medical-model environment.
• Goal: Verify basic eligibility (mobility, care level) and answer immediate questions about hours or cost.
Step 2 – The On-Site Tour
The caregiver and the potential member visit the Merrillville facility for a walk-through to view the facility and speak directly with the owners.
Step 3 – Clinical Assessment and Paperwork
Sunlite is physical therapist-owned and focuses on clinical wellness; a formal assessment is required. This involves reviewing medical history to understand the member's current care plan. Create a customized "Individualized Care Plan" and finalize payment details.
Step 4 – The "Sunlite Transition" Day
The first official day is a supervised transition. The staff pays extra attention to the new member to help them integrate into social groups and get comfortable with the routine.
• Goal: Ensure the member leaves their first day happy and eager to return.
• Action: Send a mid-day text or photo to the family on Day 1 to give them peace of mind that their loved one is thriving.
