Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 27 years of operation the community has accumulated 22 Type A and 11 Type B (administrative) citations, a substantial lifetime total for a community of this size and tenure.
- Recent 3 years — Eight Type A citations were issued within the past three years, so this is not a legacy issue from early in the license period but an ongoing pattern that continues into the most recent inspection cycle.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (29 lifetime, 16 in the past three years) significantly outnumber routine inspections, and 13 of the investigated allegations were substantiated, a roughly 27% substantiation rate.
- Operating tenure — More than two decades of continuous licensure gives a large body of inspection history to draw on, but that long tenure also means the recent cluster of findings stands out against an otherwise established operation.
- 1.Can you walk us through the Type A citations from the past three years and what corrective actions were taken for each?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated, and what specific changes were made and verified afterward?
- 3.Given the higher volume of complaint investigations compared to routine inspections, what is driving the complaint volume and how does the community track resolution?
