- Track record — With only 1.1 years of operating history and a single inspection on record, there is limited history to draw on, and the findings that exist all come from the recent period rather than a long accumulated pattern.
- Recent 3 years — All lifetime citations and allegations occurred within the past three years, including 1 Type A and 1 Type B finding and 2 substantiated allegations, so this is an active, current picture rather than a resolved past issue.
- Complaints — Two complaint investigations were opened in the recent period despite only one routine inspection, and both allegations investigated were substantiated, a 100% substantiation rate worth discussing directly with the community.
- Operating tenure — Licensed since August 2025, this community has had only one inspection cycle so far, which limits how confidently the record can be read in either direction.
- 1.What specifically did the Type A citation involve, and what corrective action has been taken and verified since?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the two complaint investigations, and what changes were made as a result?
- 3.Has the community had any further inspections or complaints since the July 2026 visit, and what was the outcome?
