AI summary
The Hills of Gowdy has accumulated 11 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, covering resident safety or care) and 5 Type B administrative findings during its 1.8 years of licensure, though none of the Type A findings appear in the dated record from the past three years.

- Track record — Eleven Type A and five Type B citations is a substantial count for a home licensed less than two years, and the single lifetime inspection plus four complaint investigations show most oversight activity has come through complaint response rather than routine review.
- Recent 3 years — The 19 dated inspection visits since 2024 show zero Type A citations and three Type B citations, with one substantiated allegation in that window, meaning the most severe findings are not appearing in the dated recent record, though families should ask directly where the 11 Type A citations fall since only one routine inspection is on file.
- Complaints — One of the two resolved allegations was substantiated, a roughly 33 percent substantiation rate, and the community has had four separate complaint investigations opened in a very short operating history.
- Operating tenure — Licensed since October 2024, this home has only about 1.8 years of history and a single formal inspection cycle, which limits how confidently any trend can be read and makes direct conversation with the community especially important.
- 1.Can you walk through the circumstances behind the 11 Type A citations and when each occurred relative to the 2024 licensing date?
- 2.What corrective actions were taken for the substantiated allegation, and how was follow-up verified?
- 3.Given only one routine inspection has occurred, what internal quality checks does the community use between state visits?
