- Track record — Over 17.7 years, the community has drawn 3 Type A findings and 11 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), a mixed but not alarming pattern for a community this size.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years account for 1 of the 3 lifetime Type A findings and all 4 substantiated allegations, meaning the more concerning activity is concentrated recently rather than spread evenly across the license period.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (15 lifetime, 9 in the past three years) outnumber routine inspections, and about 15% of all investigated allegations were substantiated, with the rest unsubstantiated or unfounded.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 18 years of continuous licensure gives a long baseline for comparison, but the recent clustering of findings means that long tenure alone shouldn't be read as reassurance for the current period.
