Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

Sunlit Gardens Assisted Living Facility’s inspection record is mixed, with a clean prelicensing evaluation on August 28, 2025, but three deficiencies cited in the May 13, 2025 annual inspection related to staff CPR/First Aid certification and criminal background clearances. The May inspection flagged immediate health and safety risks because four of six staff lacked CPR/First Aid certification, one was not fingerprint cleared, and one had incomplete personnel documentation. A June 12, 2025 complaint alleging inadequate resident activities was investigated and found unsubstantiated, showing no ongoing issues in that area.
