Inspection Report Summary for Sunrise at Fair Oaks
Most inspections over the past few years found the facility clean, safe, and in compliance with regulations, with no deficiencies cited. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, primarily involving medication mismanagement and delayed staff response to resident calls, with one incident resulting in a $250 fine for repeated medication errors. The facility also failed to report multiple resident falls as required and did not consistently ensure staff completed annual training. The most recent report from April 23, 2025, confirmed medication mismanagement that posed an immediate health risk and included the assessed penalty. While some issues have recurred, the facility’s environment and general safety measures have remained satisfactory.
