Read Full SummaryRead less
- Recent 3 years — Both Type A findings and the 2 substantiated allegations date to the recent complaint-driven visit, meaning the concerns are current rather than historical background noise.
- Complaints — A single complaint investigation in the past three years led to both Type A citations, and of the allegations investigated over the full licensed period, 2 of 5 were substantiated while 3 were found unfounded.
- Operating tenure — The community has been licensed for just over 7 years and has undergone 4 routine inspections plus 2 complaint investigations in that time, giving a reasonably established but not extensive track record.
- Severity — As a small 6-bed home, its inspection footprint is naturally lighter than larger communities, but the recent Type A findings tied to resident safety or care warrant a direct conversation rather than being read as routine paperwork issues.
- 1.What specifically was cited in the two Type A findings from the recent complaint investigation, and what corrective actions were taken?
- 2.Have any follow-up inspections confirmed the corrective actions were effective and sustained?
- 3.Which categories of allegations were substantiated, and how has staff training or care planning changed as a result?
