AI summary
Canyon Guest Home shows 2 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, involving resident safety or care) across 4.5 years of operation, with none in the past three years of inspections.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — The lifetime record includes 2 Type A findings, but the small 6-bed home has since gone through four inspections and one complaint investigation without a repeat.
- Recent 3 years — All four dated inspections and the one complaint investigation in the past three years turned up no Type A or Type B citations, pointing to a stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone suggests.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has been filed in the licensed period, and the two allegations tied to it were unsubstantiated rather than confirmed.
- Operating tenure — With 4.5 years of licensed operation and six inspection cycles on record, there's a reasonable base of visits to judge the trend, even though the home is still relatively young.
