- Track record — Over more than three decades of operation, this small 6-bed home has 4 Type A findings and 5 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), a modest total given the length of time licensed.
- Recent 3 years — Of the 4 lifetime Type A findings, 2 occurred within the past three years, both tied to a complaint investigation rather than a routine inspection, so the more recent slice of the record carries real weight here.
- Complaints — One substantiated allegation appears in the record out of 6 investigated, a substantiation rate of roughly 17%, with the substantiated case falling within the recent 3-year window rather than further back.
- Operating tenure — More than 30 years of continuous licensure gives a long baseline to judge this record against, and the routine inspections have covered the full period fairly evenly, about one every year in recent cycles.
- 1.What specifically was cited in the two recent Type A findings from the 2024 complaint investigation, and what corrective actions were taken?
- 2.Has the state verified that the corrective actions from that complaint investigation are still in effect today?
- 3.Which category of allegation was substantiated, and how has the home changed its practices since then?
