Our read on Sunset Home

Sunset Home is run by the local hospital district, and its 128 beds are staffed at 2.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 31% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so if your family visits on a Saturday, expect less coverage than a Tuesday. Turnover sits at 37.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspectors were last in on May 29, 2025, and found 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, no abuse citations, and fines total $14,020.
