Read Full Summary
  • Track record — The community has a fully citation-free history over its entire licensed period, with no findings of any kind recorded during routine inspections covering life safety, medication management, and resident care planning.
  • Operating tenure — More than 16 years of continuous licensure with a consistently clean record reflects a long, stable operating history rather than a short or untested one.
  • Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, spanning 2021 through 2025, turned up no citations and no complaint investigations, showing the clean pattern has held steady rather than being an older or one-time result.
