AI summary

Wonder's Years, a 6-bed home licensed since 2017, has 4 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) across its 8.9 years of operation, and all 4 fall within the past three years rather than being spread across its history.

Read Full Summary
  • Recent 3 years — All four Type A citations and four of the six substantiated allegations are concentrated in the past three years, meaning the most serious findings on record are recent rather than historical.
  • Complaints — Ten complaint investigations against just four routine inspections is a notable ratio for a small 6-bed home, and about 27% of all investigated allegations were substantiated, with six substantiated out of sixteen resolved allegations.
  • Track record — The lifetime total of 4 Type A and 5 Type B (administrative, e.g. paperwork or posting) citations over nearly nine years shows a record that has recently become more active rather than one trending toward resolution.
  • Operating tenure — Almost nine years of licensure gives a reasonably long baseline, but the clustering of findings in the last three years matters more here than the lifetime average would suggest.
Ask the community
  1. 1.Can you walk through what led to each of the four Type A citations issued in the past three years and what corrective actions were taken?
  2. 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated, and what specific changes were made and verified afterward?
  3. 3.Given the recent increase in complaint investigations, what steps has the home taken to reduce the number of complaints being filed?
