AI summary

Over 6.1 years of operation, Excelsior Healthcare Center has accumulated 6 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and 5 Type B findings (administrative, paperwork-level issues), with 2 of the Type A findings occurring within the past three years.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — The lifetime total of 6 Type A and 5 Type B findings over roughly six years is a notable concentration for a small 6-bed home, and the record warrants a direct conversation with staff about what occurred and how it was addressed.
  • Recent 3 years — Two Type A findings were issued within the past three years, alongside a substantially higher volume of inspection activity (14 dated inspections) than in the community's earlier years, meaning the record is far from static and deserves a close look at the most recent cycles specifically.
  • Complaints — Five complaint investigations have been filed over the licensed period, with 1 substantiated, 2 unsubstantiated, and 3 unfounded, a roughly 17% substantiation rate; the substantiated case falls within the recent three-year window rather than being an older, resolved matter.
  • Operating tenure — At just over six years licensed, Excelsior has a moderate operating history — enough inspection cycles to establish a pattern, but the recent uptick in both inspections and findings suggests the pattern may still be evolving.
Ask the community
  1. 1.Can you walk through what led to each of the 6 Type A citations, including the 2 issued in the past three years, and what corrective actions were taken?
  2. 2.What was the nature of the substantiated allegation from the recent complaint investigation, and how was it resolved and verified by the state?
  3. 3.Given the increase in inspection frequency over the past year, is the community currently under any heightened monitoring or corrective action plan?
