Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 15 years of licensed operation this small 6-bed home has drawn 3 Type A citations and 1 Type B (administrative) citation, alongside 4 complaint investigations, one of which was substantiated.
- Recent 3 years — In the past three years the home had 2 inspections and 2 complaint investigations, producing 1 Type A citation and 1 substantiated allegation, so the concerns are not confined to the distant past.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (4) have run roughly even with routine inspections (4) over the licensed period, with about 20% of investigated allegations substantiated and the rest unsubstantiated rather than unfounded.
- Operating tenure — More than 15 years of continuous licensure gives a fairly long baseline to weigh against the findings, though as a small 6-bed home even a handful of citations represents a notable share of its history.
- 1.Can you walk through what led to each of the three Type A citations and what corrective steps were taken and verified by the state?
- 2.What was the nature of the substantiated allegation, and what changes has the home made since to prevent a recurrence?
- 3.Since the most recent Type A finding was within the last three years, what specific practices have changed to address it?
