- Track record — Across more than 30 years of licensed operation, this small 6-bed home has recorded 6 Type A findings and 2 Type B (administrative) findings, a pattern worth understanding in detail before drawing conclusions.
- Recent 3 years — Two of the lifetime Type A findings occurred within the past three years, both tied to a complaint investigation in early 2026, meaning the most severe class of citation is not confined to the distant past.
- Complaints — Of 4 complaint investigations over the licensed period, 4 substantiated allegations emerged against 7 unsubstantiated and 0 unfounded, a substantiation rate of roughly 36% that suggests investigated concerns have carried some weight.
- Operating tenure — More than three decades of continuous licensure gives a long baseline to weigh against the recent findings, but the recency of the 2026 Type A citations means the long tenure alone should not be read as reassurance.
- 1.Can you walk through what led to the Type A findings from the March 2025 and 2026 inspection cycles, and what corrective actions were taken?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the recent complaint investigation, and how has the home verified the corrective plan is working?
- 3.What changes have been made to staffing, training, or care protocols since the most recent citations to prevent recurrence?

AI review summary
Only a vague, non-specific complaint is available, so families should tour Lemon Grove Terrace directly to assess care quality and value firsthand.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviews do not provide detail on staffing levels, caregiver attentiveness, or care quality, so this should be confirmed directly with the community.
- Value & pricing — There is no available information on pricing structure or how costs change with higher levels of care, which is worth clarifying on a tour.
- Atmosphere & grounds — A comment about a cloudy view is too vague to assess the actual condition or appeal of the grounds, so seeing them in person is recommended.
