Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across 27 years of operation and multiple inspection cycles, the home has never received a Type A citation (the state's most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) or a Type B citation (administrative or paperwork findings).
- Recent 3 years — Both inspections and both complaint investigations in the past three years closed without any citations, consistent with the lifetime pattern.
- Complaints — Three allegations have been investigated over the home's history and none were substantiated, meaning no complaint has resulted in a confirmed finding against the home.
- Operating tenure — More than 27 years of consistent, citation-free compliance gives this record strong reliability as a signal, since it reflects many inspection cycles rather than a short or limited history.
