- Track record — Over its full licensed history, this small 6-bed home accumulated 5 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and 5 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting requirements).
- Recent 3 years — All dated inspections and complaint investigations in the past three years turned up zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating a notably stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone suggests.
- Complaints — Of the 11 allegations investigated over the community's history, none were substantiated, 10 were unsubstantiated, and 1 was unfounded, meaning inspectors did not find the alleged issues to be supported by evidence.
- Operating tenure — With over 13 years of continuous licensure, the community has a substantial operating history, which lends weight to the recent clean stretch as more than a short-term fluke.
- 1.Can you walk through what led to the Type A findings earlier in the community's history and what changes were made afterward?
- 2.What specific practices or staffing changes have been in place during the past three years that align with the improved inspection results?
- 3.How does the home track and respond to complaints internally, even when investigations are ultimately unsubstantiated?
