investigation.
- Track record — Across a relatively short operating history, the community has accumulated 3 Type A findings and 1 Type B finding (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), which is a notable concentration for a small 6-bed home.
- Recent 3 years — Most of the record's weight sits in the recent window: 2 of the 3 Type A findings and both substantiated allegations occurred within the past three years, so this is an active pattern rather than an old, resolved one.
- Complaints — The one complaint investigation on file resulted in both allegations being substantiated, a 100% substantiation rate, which is worth understanding in more detail.
- Operating tenure — With just over 4 years of licensure and 4 inspections plus 1 complaint visit, the community has a limited but not brand-new track record, so this pattern carries more signal than it would for a home licensed only a year or two.
- 1.What specific issues led to the Type A findings in 2024, and have those conditions been corrected and verified by a follow-up inspection?
- 2.What categories of allegations were substantiated in the complaint investigation, and what corrective actions were taken?
- 3.Has the community had any additional inspections or complaints since March 2026, and what was the outcome?
