AI summary

Live In Serenity has 2 Type A findings — the state's most severe citation class, involving resident safety or care — recorded across 7.4 years of operation, with none in the past three years.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over more than seven years of licensed operation, the community's lifetime record shows 2 Type A citations, but no complaint investigations were ever filed against it.
  • Recent 3 years — The five most recent inspections, spanning 2022 through March 2026, produced zero Type A or Type B findings, indicating a stronger and more consistent recent trajectory.
  • Operating tenure — With 7.4 years of licensed history and regular inspection cycles, there is a reasonably solid track record to evaluate rather than a short or thin one.
  • Severity — No administrative (Type B) findings appear at any point in the record, and recent inspections covering life safety, staffing, and care planning have all come back clean.
