Sunrise Health & Rehabilitation Center

Sunrise Health & Rehabilitation Center holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall number is a composite drawn from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how a facility operates. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility is about average when it comes to the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections - not a red flag, but worth asking the facility about any recent findings. Staffing earns 4 stars, which tells you nurses are spending more time with residents than you'd see at a typical facility, and that generally translates to more attentive day-to-day care. The standout here is the 5-star quality measures rating, the highest possible score, reflecting that residents at this facility are doing exceptionally well across 15 tracked health outcomes like wound care, mobility, and pain management.

When you put those three pieces together, the overall 4-star picture makes sense. The excellent clinical outcomes and solid staffing are real strengths that families can feel good about, while the average inspection score is a mild note of caution rather than a serious concern. For a family looking for a place where a loved one is likely to receive attentive care and maintain their health, this facility looks like a strong option - and it would be reasonable to simply ask the admissions team to walk you through any recent inspection findings so you have the full picture.

Staffing at Sunrise Health & Rehabilitation Center runs notably higher than what you'd typically find at Florida nursing homes, which is worth paying attention to when comparing your options. Residents here receive about 4.18 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, meaning staff have a bit more time to spend with each person rather than rushing between rooms. The bigger difference shows up in registered nurse coverage specifically - this facility provides 1.13 RN hours per resident per day, more than double the Florida average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means a more experienced, clinically trained nurse is more likely to be on the floor and available when your loved one needs attention, not just a nursing aide. That said, staffing numbers reflect averages across a full day, so it's still worth asking the facility directly about overnight and weekend coverage, since those shifts can look very different from daytime hours.

Sunrise Health & Rehabilitation Center holds a 3 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government, which puts it in the middle of the pack compared to other nursing homes nationwide. There is one penalty on record, with a fine of $28,008 issued in April 2023. A single penalty does not automatically signal a troubled facility, but it is worth asking the staff directly about what led to that citation and what changes were made as a result. A 3-star inspection rating suggests the facility meets basic standards but has some room for improvement, so families should review the specific inspection findings and pay close attention during any in-person visits.
