Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across almost 22 years licensed, Mesa Care accumulated 5 Type A findings and 1 Type B (administrative) finding, along with 1 substantiated allegation out of 8 investigated, a roughly 13% substantiation rate.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent dated inspections (2022, 2023, 2024) plus the September 2025 visit show zero Type A or Type B citations and zero substantiated allegations, suggesting the record has improved from its earlier years.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 22 years of continuous licensure gives real weight to the recent clean stretch — this is not a new or untested operator.
- Severity — Because the Type A findings are lifetime rather than recent, they likely cluster in the earlier years of operation rather than reflecting current conditions, though the family should confirm timing directly with the community.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the Type A findings from earlier years involved and what changes were made afterward?
- 2.What corrective actions were taken for the substantiated allegation, and how was follow-through verified?
- 3.Has staffing, training, or management changed in the past few years that might explain the cleaner recent record?
