Westchester of Sunrise is a 150-bed nonprofit skilled nursing facility located in Sunrise, Florida, managed by administrator Noemi Suarez and operated by Sunrise FL Holdco LLC. The Broward County community organizes clinical healthcare, short-term physical rehabilitation, and long-term memory care tracks. Situated in a suburban neighborhood with a Walk Score of 58, the campus exhibits moderate neighborhood walkability and serves a mixed payer base composed mostly of Medicare short-stay patients and Medicaid long-term residents.
Government compliance databases overseen by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration track a steady operational history, noting 57 deficiencies across 48 inspection cycles over a 13-year period. This baseline represents an annual average of 2.8 citations, remaining 39% below the broader Florida state norm. State field examiners during a February 2025 routine review identified one physical plant safety omission, while earlier 2023 and 2024 evaluations cited issues involving resident care rights, staffing patterns, medication records, and building maintenance. In contrast, multiple complaint audits conducted between 2019 and 2022 were finalized with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. While the operator has been assessed eight historical fines amounting to $41,300, public registries indicate an absence of critical immediate jeopardy citations or severe enforcement bans.
Regarding clinical operations, internal nursing teams deliver an average of 3 hours and 39 minutes of direct resident care daily, tracking below the state standard. Despite these reduced staffing hours, long-stay tracking metrics reveal resident functional decline rates that perform 35% better than state benchmarks, alongside strong tracking in depression screening, falls prevention, and incontinence management. On-site services incorporate regular physician visits, professional nursing interventions, and a recreational schedule featuring arts and crafts, group exercise classes, music programs, and social outings.
Older adults requiring short-term medical recovery or transition care after a hospital stay can look to this established community’s verified history of compliance corrections. The 150-bed institutional layout serves individuals who require consistent medical supervision, physical therapy tracks, and structured cognitive engagement outside of a home setting.
