- Track record — Across more than 27 years of licensed operation, the community has drawn a single Type A citation alongside a handful of administrative Type B findings, a pattern more consistent with occasional lapses than a systemic safety concern.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show zero Type A citations and 2 Type B findings from complaint visits, suggesting the more severe issue is not part of the recent pattern.
- Complaints — Seven complaint investigations have been filed over the licensed period, with 3 substantiated, 5 unsubstantiated, and 1 unfounded, meaning roughly a third of investigated allegations were confirmed; 2 of the 3 substantiated allegations occurred within the past three years.
- Operating tenure — With 27.6 years of continuous licensure and 49 beds, this is a long-tenured, mid-to-larger community, so its cumulative citation count should be read against a substantial number of inspection and complaint cycles rather than a short history.
- 1.Can you walk us through what led to the Type A citation and what corrective steps were taken?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the past three years, and what corrective actions were verified?
- 3.What changes, if any, were made to staff training or care procedures following the recent substantiated complaints?
