Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over more than 11 years of operation, the community has accumulated 1 Type A finding and 5 Type B (administrative) findings, a modest lifetime total for a facility of this size and tenure.
- Recent 3 years — The one Type A finding and one of the five Type B findings both fall within the past three years, meaning the most notable citation activity is recent rather than spread evenly across the community's history.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (14 lifetime, 9 in the past three years) outpace routine inspections, and 2 of 27 investigated allegations were substantiated, a roughly 7% substantiation rate, with the remaining 25 unsubstantiated.
- Operating tenure — With over a decade of licensed operation and regular inspection cycles, there is a solid history to evaluate, which adds confidence to reading this as a specific recent finding rather than a broader pattern.
