- Track record — Over more than 15 years, this small 6-bed home has accumulated one Type A and one Type B citation, a light footprint for a licensed period this long.
- Recent 3 years — All three inspections and the one complaint investigation conducted in the past three years came back clean, with no Type A or Type B findings and no substantiated allegations, showing a stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone suggests.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has been filed in the entire licensed history, and it was unsubstantiated, indicating complaint activity here has been minimal rather than recurring.
- Operating tenure — More than 15 years of continuous licensure gives this record meaningful weight, and the recent inspection cycles reflect consistent oversight of areas like medication management and staff training without new concerns surfacing.
