The Leaning Pine

The Leaning Pine has operated for nearly 30 years with a mixed compliance record that includes 2 substantiated allegations and 8 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings related to paperwork, posting, or minor procedure gaps) across its licensed period. While the community has never received a Type A citation for serious violations affecting resident safety or care, families should ask which categories of allegations were substantiated and what corrective actions were taken and verified. The facility's small 6-bed capacity means fewer total findings are expected compared to larger communities, but the substantiation rate shows that roughly one-third of investigated allegations had merit. The recent three-year period shows continued regulatory attention with 1 substantiated allegation as recently as this year, indicating ongoing issues that warrant discussion with management. CDSS routine inspections that found no serious violations have covered areas like resident care plans and staff training, but the pattern of complaint investigations suggests families should inquire about the community's approach to addressing resident and family concerns. The long operating history provides extensive data points, but the recent activity suggests this is not a concern that has been fully resolved.
