Whittier Cottage

Whittier Cottage has operated for more than 18 years with a mixed compliance history that shows significant improvement in recent years. Over its entire licensed period, the 6-bed facility has received 3 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 8 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings), but importantly, no Type A citations have occurred in the past three years. This recent clean record on serious violations suggests the community has addressed earlier safety and care concerns. The facility has never had complaint investigations filed against it, which is notable given its long operating history. State inspections, which examine areas like medication management and resident care plans, have found the facility maintaining better compliance standards in recent inspection cycles compared to its earlier years. Families should ask the community directly about what corrective actions were taken to address the earlier serious violations and how those improvements are sustained.
