Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 11.5 years of licensure, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 2 Type A findings (the most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and 2 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), with no substantiated allegations against it.
- Recent 3 years — The last three years show a cleaner trajectory: 3 inspections and 1 complaint investigation produced zero Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated allegations, suggesting the concerns behind the lifetime Type A total predate this recent stretch.
- Operating tenure — More than a decade of continuous operation gives this record real weight — the recent clean stretch sits on top of a long operating history rather than a brief one.
- Severity — With zero substantiated allegations and one unfounded allegation, the one complaint investigation on file did not result in a confirmed finding against the home.
