AI summary

- Track record — The lifetime record shows 5 Type A and 4 Type B (administrative, such as paperwork or posting gaps) citations over the full licensed period, concentrated earlier rather than spread evenly.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, running from 2022 through the visit in March 2026, produced zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating a meaningfully improved trajectory since the earlier findings.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has been filed in 8.4 years, and the single allegation was unsubstantiated rather than confirmed.
- Operating tenure — With more than eight years of continuous licensure and a small six-bed capacity, the facility has a longer track record than many small homes, which makes the recent clean stretch a more meaningful signal.
