Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over its licensed period this small 6-bed home has drawn 6 Type A and 4 Type B citations along with 5 complaint investigations, a notable volume for a home this size.
- Recent 3 years — None of the recent complaint-related citations were Type A, though 2 Type B findings and 2 substantiated allegations occurred within the past three years, meaning the more severe lifetime findings are concentrated earlier rather than ongoing.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (5) roughly match inspection visits (4), and of the allegations investigated, about 18% were substantiated with the remaining largely unsubstantiated rather than unfounded.
- Operating tenure — With just over 5 years of licensed history and 4 inspections plus several complaint visits, there is a reasonable amount of history to draw on, though the small bed count means each incident carries more weight statistically than it would at a larger community.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the Type A findings involved and what corrective actions were taken and verified by the state?
- 2.What specifically were the two substantiated allegations from the past three years, and what changes were made afterward?
- 3.Since the more severe findings appear to be from earlier in the license period, what has changed operationally in the last couple of years?
