AI Summary

Better Living and Care's compliance record shows a facility that has addressed past concerns and maintained a clean record in recent years. Over nearly 29 years of operation, the community received 3 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 1 Type B citation (administrative or non-serious finding), but notably, no Type A citations have occurred in the past three years despite multiple inspections covering areas like medication management and resident care plans. One allegation was substantiated during the licensed period, with the most recent substantiated allegation occurring more than three years ago, and families should ask the community what category of allegation was substantiated and what corrective actions were taken and verified. The recent trajectory shows stronger compliance, with three clean inspections since late 2023 and no complaint investigations in the past three years. For a small 6-bed facility with more than two decades of operating history, this improvement pattern suggests the community has learned from past findings and established more consistent practices.
