Sunstone is transforming the recovery housing experience for those working to overcome substance use disorders in the Cincinnati metropolitan area. Their resident-first mindset creates a safe and structured environment designed for sober living and recovery. Executive Director Vivian Sickinger shared that their goal is, “to be like no other recovery housing program around us.”
With a campus that currently houses 20 residents, Sunstone offers support for up to go days, giving residents the opportunity to recover and gain stability in order to start a lifetime of sustainable, healthy living.
In October 2022, Community CareLink was selected to help the Sunstone team build a comprehensive case management system that met their specific needs. Community CareLink worked side by side with the Sunstone team over the next three months. “We told Community CareLink what we wanted, to track, what numbers we were going to need, and they really made it smooth building the reports we needed,” Sickinger recalls.
“It’s very simple; the easiest system I have ever used by far.”

Through the platform, Sunstone collects data on resident sobriety progress, employment status, weekly resident check-ins, resident funding status and the overall program success rate. With this data, Sunstone can easily pull reports to show the results that matter most to the onsite team, residents and to current and potential donors. Ease of use was another reason Sickinger and team chose Community CareLink.
Looking ahead, Sunstone is ready to use the data and reporting Community CareLink provides to show how their recovery housing model can set residents up for long-term success, which will help to expand their programming and serve up to 60 residents at one time.
