Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — The lifetime record includes 1 Type A citation and 4 Type B citations (administrative findings like paperwork or posting gaps) across 8.1 years, a modest total for a small four-bed home where even a single incident represents a larger share of the record than it would in a larger facility.
- Recent 3 years — No Type A citations appear in the past three years, though 3 Type B citations and 3 substantiated allegations occurred in that window, suggesting the more severe issue is not part of the current pattern but administrative and complaint activity has continued.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (14 lifetime) far outnumber routine inspections (3 lifetime), and 4 of the 17 unsubstantiated-or-substantiated allegations were substantiated — roughly 18% — meaning most investigated complaints did not result in a confirmed finding.
- Operating tenure — Just over eight years of continuous licensing gives a reasonably solid base of inspection cycles to judge the pattern, rather than a short or unproven history.
- 1.Can you walk us through what happened with the Type A citation and what corrective steps were verified afterward?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the past three years, and what changes were made in response?
- 3.Given that complaint investigations happen more often than routine inspections here, what tends to prompt the complaints?
