Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across 26 years of licensed operation, the home has never received a Type A citation, the state's most severe class tied to resident safety or care, and has accumulated only 2 administrative (Type B) citations related to paperwork or minor procedural gaps.
- Recent 3 years — The two most recent inspections, in 2024 and 2025, produced no citations of any kind, suggesting steady, well-maintained practices in areas like medication management and staff training.
- Operating tenure — More than a quarter-century of consistent operation with a small, well-contained citation history gives this record strong reliability as a signal.
- Small home context — With only 6 beds, the home's low inspection and complaint volume is typical for its scale, and the single unsubstantiated allegation on record did not result in any confirmed finding.
