Inspection Report Summary for Sunrise of Paoli

The most recent inspection on February 4, 2025, found two deficiencies related to resident contract signatures and initial resident assessments, with the submitted plan of correction fully implemented. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care issues such as abuse, neglect, failure to provide assistance with daily living activities, staff training gaps, and safety concerns. A substantiated complaint in October 2024 involved physical abuse by a staff member, who was terminated, and prior reports noted failures in medication training, documentation, and emergency preparedness. Enforcement actions such as staff termination and retraining were noted, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility has shown some responsiveness to deficiencies through accepted and implemented plans of correction, though issues have recurred over time without a clear pattern of sustained improvement.
