Inspection Report Summary for Sunrise of Sunnyvale

The California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, conducted a series of inspections at Sunrise of Sunnyvale (Facility Number 435200806) from January 2021 through July 2024. The first unannounced visit on 01/26/2021 identified a deficiency in basic services (Section Cited 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7). A resident who was medically unable to leave the facility unassisted was found outside and injured, prompting a required plan of correction with a due date of 01/02/2021. No other deficiencies were noted during that visit.

Subsequent visits focused largely on COVID‑19 infection‑control and routine compliance. An unannounced tele‑case‑management visit on 02/10/2021 provided technical assistance on pandemic protocols, and a 06/22/2021 on‑site inspection reported no deficiencies, issuing only an advisory note. The 07/26/2022 annual inspection, conducted by an LPA and LPM, confirmed continued adherence to safety and hygiene standards, with no deficiencies recorded.

The most recent unannounced inspection on 07/25/2024 revealed several maintenance issues that did not previously appear. Burnt light bulbs in rooms 313, 207, 206, 103, and 106; a bathroom fan with built‑up dust in room 313; and low water pressure in the sink faucet of room 207 were noted. Work orders were immediately issued by Executive Director Beena Kumar. Other observations confirmed that fire safety, temperature control, and food storage standards remained within regulatory limits, and that the facility maintained adequate supplies of PPE and fire‑extinguishing equipment.

Across the five inspections, the facility consistently demonstrated compliance with basic service requirements and infection‑control protocols, except for the initial wandering incident. The most recent assessment highlights routine maintenance matters rather than substantive regulatory violations, suggesting that Sunrise of Sunnyvale has largely met its obligations while addressing minor facility upkeep issues as they arise.
