AI summary

Emerald Retirement Residence has 4 Type A findings — the state's most severe citation class, covering resident safety and care — recorded across more than 30 years of operation, with none in the past three years.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over more than three decades of licensure, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 4 Type A findings and 2 Type B (administrative) findings, but all three inspections conducted in the past three years came back clean.
  • Recent 3 years — The last three inspection cycles, running from October 2023 through October 2025, show no Type A or Type B citations, indicating a stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone would suggest.
  • Operating tenure — With nearly 31 years of continuous licensure, the community has a long operating history, and the absence of any complaint investigations over that entire period is notable for a home of this size.
  • Severity — The clean recent inspections reviewed core areas such as medication management and staff training with no findings, meaning the current operating picture is free of cited concerns even though the lifetime record is not spotless.
