Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over almost 33 years of licensure, the community has accumulated 2 Type A findings (the most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 8 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting requirements).
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show a markedly cleaner pattern, with zero Type A citations and just one Type B citation across 10 inspections and 5 complaint investigations, suggesting the more severe findings are not a recent or ongoing pattern.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations have been frequent relative to routine inspections over the community's history, and of the 15 allegations investigated lifetime, 4 were substantiated, roughly a 27% substantiation rate, while most were unsubstantiated or unfounded.
- Operating tenure — A licensed history spanning more than three decades gives a fairly reliable signal, and the shift toward a cleaner recent record is a meaningful data point rather than a small sample fluke.
- 1.Can you walk us through the circumstances of the 2 Type A findings and what corrective actions were put in place afterward?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated over the years, and how were the corrective actions verified?
- 3.Has there been any change in management, staffing, or care protocols in the past three years that explains the improved recent record?
