What Does the State Inspection Record Show?
You should read this before you tour. Sunrise of Raleigh held 3 stars after its 2025 annual inspection, then the county cited two Type A1 violations, the state's most serious category, after visits in March and April 2026. Type A1 means a violation that resulted in death, serious physical harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a resident. The rating fell to 2 stars in March 2026 and to 1 star in April. The state has since marked both corrected, and the rating is back to 2 stars, but it has not posted the county reports, so I can't tell you what happened.
Its March 2025 annual inspection found three smaller problems, including medication errors for two residents. The state shows no fines in the past three years. You can read the record on the state inspection page for Sunrise of Raleigh.
