Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over more than 13 years of licensure, this small 15-bed community has drawn 5 Type A citations (the state's most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 8 Type B citations (administrative findings like paperwork or minor procedural gaps).
- Recent 3 years — The four inspections conducted between 2021 and 2026 produced zero Type A or Type B citations, suggesting the concerns behind the lifetime total are not showing up in the current operating pattern.
- Complaints — There have been no complaint investigations and no substantiated, unsubstantiated, or unfounded allegations at any point in the licensed history, which is a clean dimension worth noting separately from the inspection findings.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 14 years of continuous licensure gives a reasonably long baseline to judge the trajectory against, and the shift toward a clean recent record carries more weight given that history.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the Type A findings involved and when they occurred relative to the past few inspection cycles?
- 2.What changes were made in staffing, training, or care protocols that led to the clean inspections over the past three years?
- 3.Are there any pending or upcoming inspections we should know about, and how does the community track and verify corrective actions internally?
