Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over more than three decades of licensure, this small 6-bed home has accumulated one Type A finding (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and two Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), a modest total for such a long operating period.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, running from 2022 through January 2026, show zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating a clean and improving trajectory in the current period.
- Operating tenure — With over 31 years of continuous licensure, Star Dust Home has a long track record that gives real weight to its clean recent inspections rather than being a short or untested history.
- Complaints — No complaint investigations have been filed against this home at any point in its licensed history, and inspections covered life safety and care practices without triggering follow-up review.
