this community.
- Recent 3 years — Rather than tapering off, the record shows more Type A (most severe class) citation activity in the past three years than the lifetime figure implies on its own, with 6 Type A and 3 Type B (administrative) findings tied to complaint investigations since 2022.
- Complaints — With 16 complaint investigations against only 3 routine inspections over the licensed period, and 11 of those complaints falling in just the last three years, oversight of this community has been driven far more by complaints than by scheduled inspections.
- Track record — Of the allegations investigated, 5 were substantiated, roughly 23% of the total, while 8 were found unfounded and 9 unsubstantiated, indicating a mix of confirmed and disproven concerns rather than a one-sided pattern.
- Operating tenure — Ten years of licensed operation and 106 beds give this record a reasonably large sample to judge from, but the clustering of findings in the past three years matters more than the decade-long average would suggest.
- 1.Which specific categories of allegations were substantiated in the recent complaint investigations, and what corrective actions were taken and verified by the state?
- 2.What changed operationally around 2022 that coincides with the increase in complaint investigations and Type A findings?
- 3.Has the community had any inspections or complaint visits since January 2026, and if so, what was the outcome?
