Officials with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration investigated a complaint at Sunset Lake Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center on February 1, 2024. This 120-bed for-profit nursing home is located at 832 Sunset Lake Boulevard, Venice, Florida 34292. An unannounced inspection occurred at that time.
It is unclear what Florida officials were focused on during the Sunset Lake complaint investigation because few details are available in the report. While the facts and allegations of the complaint were substantiated by the Agency, it chose not to issue any citations of deficiencies against this Venice nursing home at that time.
