Read Full SummaryRead less
- Recent 3 years — The recent slice shows 6 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) from complaint-driven visits in the past three years, which is where essentially all of the lifetime Type A activity is concentrated rather than spread evenly across the license period.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (26 lifetime, 16 in just the past three years) far outnumber routine inspections (6 lifetime), indicating that most of what is known about this community's compliance has come from responding to specific complaints rather than scheduled reviews.
- Substantiated allegations — 5 allegations have been substantiated against 40 unsubstantiated and 2 unfounded, a roughly 11% substantiation rate, meaning the large majority of complaints filed did not hold up on investigation.
- Operating tenure — Garfield Terrace has been licensed for just over 8 years as a 60-bed assisted living community, giving regulators a substantial number of inspection and complaint cycles to work with, which makes the recent concentration of findings a meaningful signal rather than a small sample.
