Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across more than two decades of operation, the community has accumulated only one administrative (Type B) citation and no Type A findings, indicating a consistently clean compliance history rather than a one-time snapshot.
- Operating tenure — With over 22 years of continuous licensure, this is a long, well-established operating history, which adds meaningful confidence to the strength of the record.
- Complaints — Of the 19 allegations investigated over the years, none were substantiated, and inspectors have also closed out 4 recent complaint investigations with no findings, suggesting complaints raised have not translated into confirmed problems.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show 6 inspections and 4 complaint investigations, all clean, meaning the most recent, most relevant period continues the same pattern as the lifetime record.
