SUNRISE POST ACUTE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Sunrise Post Acute in Banning, California has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about its operations and quality of care. With a state rank of #915 out of 1155, the facility is in the bottom half of California nursing homes, and it is ranked #44 out of 53 in Riverside County. Despite recent improvements in their trend, reducing issues from 17 in 2024 to 6 in 2025, the facility still has a troubling history, including critical incidents such as unsanitary food preparation practices that could lead to foodborne illness for many residents and a failure to protect a resident from physical abuse, resulting in severe injuries and a fatality. Staffing levels are a mixed bag; while the turnover rate of 18% is good compared to the state average, RN coverage is low, being worse than 84% of other California facilities, which raises concerns about the quality of medical oversight. Additionally, the facility has incurred fines totaling $13,624, which is average in context, but the overall health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 stars suggests that there are serious deficiencies that families should consider.

About This Facility
What is Sunrise Post Acute's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns SUNRISE POST ACUTE an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within California, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Sunrise Post Acute Staffed?
CMS rates SUNRISE POST ACUTE's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 18%, compared to the California average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care.
What Have Inspectors Found at Sunrise Post Acute?
State health inspectors documented 46 deficiencies at SUNRISE POST ACUTE during 2020 to 2025. These included: 3 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 1 that caused actual resident harm, and 42 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Sunrise Post Acute?
SUNRISE POST ACUTE is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by PACS GROUP, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 64 certified beds and approximately 61 residents (about 95% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in BANNING, California.
How Does Sunrise Post Acute Compare to Other California Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in California, SUNRISE POST ACUTE's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (18%) is significantly lower than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Sunrise Post Acute?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Sunrise Post Acute Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, SUNRISE POST ACUTE has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 3 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in California. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Sunrise Post Acute Stick Around?
Staff at SUNRISE POST ACUTE tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 18%, the facility is 28 percentage points below the California average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly.
Was Sunrise Post Acute Ever Fined?
SUNRISE POST ACUTE has been fined $13,624 across 1 penalty action. This is below the California average of $33,215. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Sunrise Post Acute on Any Federal Watch List?
SUNRISE POST ACUTE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
