Federal Nursing-Home Survey Record
Sunrise Health Services
Does Sunrise Health Services have a federal violation or abuse history?
According to the public federal record on file with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Sunrise Health Services (CCN 525493), in MILWAUKEE, WI, has federal inspection findings on its record.
In its current inspection cycle, CMS cited the facility for 9 deficiencies; the most serious carries scope/severity E on CMS's A–L scale — CMS's "potential for harm" tier, below actual harm. Citations from earlier inspection cycles appear in the dated timeline below as historical findings, not current ones. CMS has $113,910 in civil money penalties on file against the facility. This page restates the federal record as published by CMS and draws no conclusion of its own. Federal nursing-home surveys are conducted on a recurring cycle by state survey agencies acting on CMS's behalf, and the figures on this page are compiled from CMS's published provider data, as on file with CMS; the federal record may understate what actually occurred, and inspection findings are point-in-time survey results, not a determination that any specific resident was harmed.

You may be reading this record for the first time.
If something happened to someone you love at this facility, this federal record may be new to you today. The company that operates a nursing home, by contrast, is rarely seeing records like this for the first time — operators like these typically retain standing legal, risk, and insurance teams whose routine work includes records exactly like the one on this page. That is not a judgment of this facility; it is how the business is structured. Because strict time limits can apply, families often find it helps to have a qualified person review the record with them sooner rather than later.
