Inspection Reports for Sunrise Terrace Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on August 3, 2025, noted one deficiency related to a plan of correction following the prior survey in July 2025. Earlier inspections were mostly in substantial compliance, with the July 9, 2025, survey citing a deficiency for serving food below required temperatures. Prior reports included a substantiated deficiency in August 2021 for inadequate supervision leading to resident elopement and a door alarm failure, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated or found the facility in substantial compliance, except for the 2021 incident. The inspection history shows some isolated issues, particularly with food service and supervision, but recent surveys suggest the facility has addressed prior concerns.
