Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across 21 years of licensed operation, the community has drawn 3 Type A findings and 6 Type B (administrative) findings, a modest total for a 75-bed community over two decades but one worth discussing directly with staff.
- Recent 3 years — One Type A and one Type B citation were issued within the past three years, and both substantiated allegations also fall in this recent window, so the concerns are not purely historical.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (10 lifetime, 6 in the past three years) outnumber routine inspections, and the 6 complaint visits in three years suggest the community has drawn more scrutiny-by-complaint than a typical inspection cycle alone would generate.
- Severity — Of the 22 allegations investigated over the licensed period, 2 were substantiated (roughly 9%), with the remainder unsubstantiated and none marked unfounded.
- 1.Can staff walk through what led to the Type A citation issued in the past three years and what corrective action was taken?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated, and what corrective actions were verified afterward?
- 3.Has there been any change in staffing, training, or oversight following the recent complaint investigations?
