AI summary

Over more than 24 years of operation, this small six-bed home has never had a Type A finding — the state's most severe citation class tied to resident safety or care — and has a single administrative (Type B) citation on its full record.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Across 24.3 years of licensure and five inspections, the home has accumulated just one Type B citation, an administrative finding rather than a safety or care issue, and zero Type A findings.
  • Operating tenure — A licensing history stretching back to 2002 with a consistently clean safety record gives this a long, well-established track record rather than a short or untested one.
  • Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, spanning 2022 through 2026, produced no citations and no substantiated complaints, so the recent trajectory matches the lifetime pattern.
  • Complaints — No complaint investigations have been logged at any point in the licensed period, meaning the inspections on file are routine regulatory visits checking areas like medication management and staff training rather than responses to reported concerns.
