Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over its 3.3 years of licensure, Cross Creek Care accumulated 3 Type A and 3 Type B citations, the latter being administrative findings like paperwork or posting gaps, but none of these appear in the recent slice of visits.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show a clean run: 5 inspections and 3 complaint investigations with zero Type A or Type B findings and zero substantiated allegations, suggesting the community has strengthened its practices since its earliest visits in 2023.
- Complaints — All 8 investigated allegations to date were unsubstantiated, including the 3 most recent complaint investigations in 2025 and 2026, meaning none were confirmed to have merit upon review.
- Operating tenure — With just over 3 years of licensed operation, the record is still relatively young; the clean recent trajectory is encouraging but reflects a shorter history than communities licensed a decade or more.
