AI summary

St. Anthony's Board and Care shows 2 Type A findings across nearly 30 years of operation, with 1 of those occurring within the past three years alongside a cluster of complaint activity worth discussing with the community.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Across almost 30 years licensed, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 2 Type A citations (the most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 21 Type B citations (administrative findings like paperwork or posting gaps), a caseload that is worth understanding in context of its long tenure.
  • Recent 3 years — Of the lifetime totals, 1 Type A and 5 Type B citations occurred within the past three years, meaning the record has not simply flattened over time but includes recent activity that families should ask about directly.
  • Complaints — Complaint investigations (7 lifetime, 4 in the past three years) have run close to the number of routine inspections, and 6 of the 9 investigated allegations were substantiated, a substantiation rate of about 40% that signals a pattern worth discussing rather than a single isolated incident.
  • Operating tenure — Nearly 30 years of continuous licensure gives a long baseline against which to weigh these findings, but that same tenure means the presence of recent citations carries more weight than it would for a newer operator.
Ask the community
  1. 1.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the past three years, and what corrective actions were taken and verified?
  2. 2.Can staff walk through what specifically led to the most recent Type A citation and what changed afterward?
  3. 3.How does the home track and respond to complaint investigations given the recent frequency compared to routine inspections?

AI review summary

A serious documented compliance failure — including a state fine — around medical communication and conservatorship rules makes this a facility families should investigate carefully before placing a loved one.

Read Full Summary
What reviewers praise
  • Staff & care — The reviewer notes her sister remained verbal and was able to communicate by phone, suggesting basic day-to-day care needs were being met even amid other concerns.
Worth asking about
  • Communication — A family member reports the facility failed to share medical appointment details, medication lists, and required quarterly and annual conservatorship meetings, only surfacing through an outside social worker's intervention.
  • Financial transparency — Ask directly about the facility's history with state licensing, including the reported fine for failing to follow conservatorship requirements, and what corrective steps have been taken since.
  • Daily life & dignity — The reviewer describes phone calls being monitored with staff present in the room, raising questions about privacy and self-advocacy for residents who cannot easily speak up for themselves.
  • Staff & care — Families should ask how the community handles conservatorship and guardianship protocols now, and request references from other families with residents under similar legal arrangements.
