Karlton Residential Care Center

Karlton Residential Care Center's 30-year operating history shows a mixed compliance record that warrants careful family consideration. Over this extended period, the facility has received 4 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 2 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings), with the state conducting significantly more complaint investigations (14) than routine inspections (4). The facility has had 2 substantiated allegations among the 20 total allegations investigated, meaning roughly 10% of investigated concerns were verified by state regulators. Families should ask the facility which categories of allegations were substantiated and what specific corrective actions were taken and verified. Recent activity shows continued concerns, with 1 Type A citation and 1 substantiated allegation occurring within the past three years, indicating ongoing compliance challenges rather than improvement. While the facility's three-decade tenure demonstrates operational stability, the pattern of complaint-driven visits and substantiated findings suggests families should inquire specifically about the facility's quality assurance processes and how they address resident care and safety protocols.
