Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over its full 6.5-year licensed history, the community accumulated 4 Type A and 3 Type B (administrative, such as paperwork or posting) citations, all from a small number of inspections given its 6-bed size.
- Recent 3 years — The two most recent inspections, in 2025 and 2026, produced zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating a cleaner recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone would suggest.
- Complaints — No complaint investigations have been filed against this community at any point in its licensed history, and there are no substantiated, unsubstantiated, or unfounded allegations on record.
- Operating tenure — Licensed since February 2020, the community now has over six years of operating history, giving the recent clean stretch reasonable weight as a signal of current practice.
