Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 17.8 years of operation this small 6-bed home has a single Type A citation and two Type B citations, a light footprint for a home operating this long, but the timing of these findings matters more than the lifetime count.
- Recent 3 years — The Type A finding and both Type B findings all occurred within the past three years, alongside a notable jump to 22 dated inspections in that window, so this is an active period worth understanding rather than a distant, resolved episode.
- Complaints — Thirteen complaint investigations were filed over the home's history against just 5 routine inspections, and 3 of those investigated allegations were substantiated — a substantiation rate of roughly 9%, with the majority closing as unsubstantiated or unfounded.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 18 years of continuous licensure gives real depth to this record; it is not a new or thinly-tested operation, which makes the recent cluster of findings more informative than it would be at a newer home.
- 1.Can you walk us through what led to the Type A citation issued in the past three years and what corrective steps were verified afterward?
- 2.Which categories of the three substantiated allegations were involved, and what changes were made in response?
- 3.Given the high number of complaint investigations relative to inspections, what is driving that volume of complaints at this specific home?
