Ararat Board and Care

Ararat Board and Care has had a challenging compliance record over its nearly seven years of operation, with 11 serious violations (Type A citations) affecting resident safety or care and 28 administrative or non-serious findings (Type B citations) across five state inspections. The pattern is concerning for a small facility, as these violations have touched areas like resident care plans and medication management that are central to daily operations. However, the recent trajectory shows meaningful improvement — while the community had multiple Type A citations in earlier years, there have been no serious violations during the past three years of complaint investigations, with only one minor administrative finding. One allegation was substantiated during the licensed period, and families should ask the community what category this allegation involved and what corrective actions were taken and verified. The fact that roughly 14% of investigated allegations were substantiated suggests most complaints were unfounded, but the early pattern of serious citations warrants discussion about what operational changes the community has implemented to achieve its recent cleaner record.
