Our read on Sunnyvale Post-Acute Center
Sunnyvale Post-Acute Center runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers cut both ways. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.20 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and turnover at 30.9% is well below the 45.8% norm, but weekends dip about 10% below weekday levels, and CMS gives staffing just 2 of 5 stars. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 67 deficiencies, six tied to abuse, and a 1-star health inspection rating, with the most recent survey in October 2024. No deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and quality measures scored 4 of 5, which keeps this from being a clear avoid, but ask pointed questions about that abuse history and weekend coverage before deciding.
