SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Sunrise Health Services in Milwaukee has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #315 out of 321 facilities in Wisconsin places it in the bottom half, and #30 out of 32 in Milwaukee County means only one local option is better. The facility's performance is worsening, with issues increasing from 12 in 2024 to 14 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, with a 3/5 rating and a low 26% turnover compared to the state average, which suggests that employees tend to stay and know the residents well. However, the facility has concerning fines totaling $158,638, indicating repeated compliance problems, and it offers less RN coverage than 88% of state facilities, which is critical for monitoring residents' needs. Specific incidents raise serious alarms: one resident suffered a death likely resulting from inadequate supervision and safety measures, while another resident with a high risk for pressure injuries did not receive the necessary care, leading to severe injuries. Additionally, a resident with Alzheimer's was not properly assessed for behavioral changes, resulting in aggressive incidents. While there are some positive aspects such as staffing stability, the overall quality of care and safety issues present significant risks for families considering this facility for their loved ones.

About This Facility
What is Sunrise Health Services's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Wisconsin, 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 Health Services Staffed?
CMS rates SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 26%, compared to the Wisconsin average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care.
What Have Inspectors Found at Sunrise Health Services?
State health inspectors documented 38 deficiencies at SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES during 2023 to 2025. These included: 3 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 34 with potential for harm, and 1 minor or isolated issues. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Sunrise Health Services?
SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES 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 NORTH SHORE HEALTHCARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 99 certified beds and approximately 91 residents (about 92% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin.
How Does Sunrise Health Services Compare to Other Wisconsin Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Wisconsin, SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 3.0, staff turnover (26%) 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 Health Services?
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?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations.
Is Sunrise Health Services Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 3 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Wisconsin. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Sunrise Health Services Stick Around?
Staff at SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 26%, the facility is 20 percentage points below the Wisconsin 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. Registered Nurse turnover is also low at 18%, meaning experienced RNs are available to handle complex medical needs.
Was Sunrise Health Services Ever Fined?
SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES has been fined $158,638 across 2 penalty actions. This is 4.6x the Wisconsin average of $34,665. Fines at this level are uncommon and typically indicate a pattern of serious deficiencies, repeated violations, or failure to correct problems promptly. CMS reserves penalties of this magnitude for facilities that pose significant, documented risk to resident health or safety. Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is Sunrise Health Services on Any Federal Watch List?
SUNRISE HEALTH SERVICES 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.
