Most inspections at this facility found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on July 1, 2025, which was perfect with no issues noted. Some earlier reports identified minor concerns, such as a cluttered pathway posing a safety risk in one room and isolated problems with medication management and assisted living service implementation found during complaint investigations in August 2024. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about staff not following physicians’ orders, improper fees, and resident governance. There were no fines, enforcement actions, or severe deficiencies reported in any inspection. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with the latest inspections consistently clean after earlier isolated issues.
The inspection was conducted to complete the annual inspection of the facility, including review of residents' medications, staff training information, and hot water temperature testing.

The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by a complaint received on 2023-06-30 regarding transfer fees charged by the provider.
Findings
The investigation found that the transfer fees are clearly outlined in the Continuing Care Contract and CC&Rs, and residents agreed to pay these fees. The department does not interpret the transfer fees as brokerage fees and does not enforce Civil Code section 4575 as it does not apply to Continuing Care Retirement Centers (CCRCs). The complaint was determined to be unfounded.
Complaint Details
The complaint alleged that transfer fees should not be allowed since the provider is not a broker, or alternatively, that transfer fees should be limited according to Civil Code section 4575. The complaint was investigated and found to be unfounded.
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation triggered by an allegation that Sunrise was not depositing funds paid into an account under the control of the homeowner’s association, violating Civil Code section 5380.
Findings

The Department suggested the HOA communicate directly with Sunrise or rescind its delegation of collecting HOA dues if desired. The allegation was determined to be unfounded.
Complaint Details

The inspection was conducted as an unannounced complaint investigation following a complaint received on 06/30/2023 regarding residents' voting rights in the selection of a management company.

The complaint alleged that residents should have a vote in the selection of a management company, including contract extensions. The complaint was found to be unfounded.
