- Track record — Across just over three years of licensed operation, this small 7-bed home has accumulated one Type A and one Type B citation, along with three complaint investigations, giving a fairly complete picture despite the short tenure.
- Recent 3 years — Both the Type A and Type B findings fall within the past three years, so this is a current pattern to ask about rather than an old issue the community has since moved past.
- Complaints — Two of three investigated allegations were substantiated, a roughly 40% substantiation rate, which is worth understanding in terms of what was found and what corrective steps followed.
- Operating tenure — With only about 3.4 years of licensed history and a handful of inspection cycles, there is limited long-term track record to weigh the findings against, so recent conversations with staff matter more than usual.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the Type A citation involved and what corrective actions were taken and verified by the state?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated, and what changes were made in response?
- 3.Since this is a small 7-bed home, how has staffing and resident care oversight changed since these findings were issued?
