Lucy's Place, a 6-bed home licensed for nearly 26 years, has 2 Type A findings and 9 Type B findings over its lifetime, with 1 Type A finding and 1 substantiated allegation occurring within the past three years.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over nearly 26 years of operation, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 2 Type A findings (the most severe citation class, involving resident safety or care) and 9 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting requirements).
  • Recent 3 years — One of the two Type A findings and the one substantiated allegation both fall within the past three years, meaning the most serious recent activity is not historical background but a current-window event worth asking about directly.
  • Complaints — Of the allegations investigated over the community's history, roughly a third were substantiated, and the single substantiated allegation on record occurred recently rather than in the distant past.
  • Operating tenure — A licensed history of nearly 26 years provides a long baseline for evaluating this record, and the frequent recent inspection activity (10 visits in three years) suggests the community has been under closer or more routine review lately.
Ask the community
  1. 1.What was the nature of the Type A finding issued within the past three years, and what corrective action was taken?
  2. 2.Can you walk through what happened with the recently substantiated allegation and how it was resolved?
  3. 3.Given the cluster of inspections in the last three years, has the home been under any heightened monitoring, and if so, why?
