- Track record — Across more than 17 years licensed, the community has drawn 10 Type A citations and 26 Type B (administrative, paperwork-level) citations, a substantial lifetime tally for a 6-bed home.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show a clear turnaround: six inspections and one complaint investigation produced zero Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated allegations, suggesting the concerning findings are not part of the current pattern.
- Complaints — Of five allegations investigated over the license's history, one was substantiated, four were unsubstantiated or unfounded, and that one substantiated case dates to a complaint from late 2024, outside the clean recent-inspection stretch.
- Operating tenure — Seventeen-plus years of continuous licensure gives real weight to the recent clean stretch — this is a long-run operator whose trajectory has measurably improved rather than a new, unproven home.
- 1.Can staff walk through what the earlier Type A citations involved and what specific changes were made afterward?
- 2.What was the substantiated allegation from November 2024 about, and what corrective action was verified by the state?
- 3.What does the home attribute the recent clean inspection run to, and how is that being sustained going forward?
