- Track record — This small, 6-bed home has 5 Type A findings and 1 Type B (administrative) finding across nearly 27 years of licensure, meaning safety-related citations are not a one-time event but have recurred over time.
- Recent 3 years — Of the 5 lifetime Type A findings, 3 fall within the past three years, tied to a complaint investigation from July 2024 — this is an active, recent pattern rather than an old, resolved one.
- Complaints — 3 of 3 substantiated allegations occurred in the recent window, and overall 3 of 7 investigated allegations (about 43%) were substantiated, which is a notably high confirmation rate worth asking about directly.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 27 years of continuous licensure shows long-term operating experience, but that tenure has not translated into a clean recent record — the visit frequency also increased sharply in 2024, suggesting closer state attention.
- 1.What specific corrective actions were taken in response to the Type A findings from the 2024 complaint investigation, and has the state verified they were completed?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated, and what changes has the home made to prevent recurrence?
- 3.Given the increase in inspection frequency during 2024, is the home currently on a state monitoring or corrective action plan?
