- Track record — Across 20.7 years of licensure the community has drawn 8 Type A and 10 Type B citations, a record that includes real findings rather than a clean history, and is worth discussing directly with staff.
- Recent 3 years — The recent slice shows 2 Type A and 3 Type B citations along with 5 substantiated allegations, indicating the concerns are not purely historical but have continued into the last three years.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (44 lifetime, 12 in the past three years) far outnumber routine inspections, and about 21% of all investigated allegations were substantiated, with 15 substantiated allegations on record overall.
- Operating tenure — More than two decades of continuous licensure gives a large sample of inspection and complaint activity, which makes the recurring findings more informative than they would be for a newer operator.
