AI summary

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over more than a decade of licensure, the community has drawn 2 Type A and 10 Type B citations, a mixed but not alarming record for a 179-bed community of this size and tenure.
  • Recent 3 years — The three most recent dated inspections show zero Type A citations and 4 Type B citations, suggesting the lifetime Type A findings occurred earlier in the operating history rather than recently.
  • Complaints — Complaint investigations (21 lifetime, 12 in the past three years) considerably outnumber routine inspections (5 lifetime), indicating the record is shaped more by responses to specific concerns than by scheduled reviews.
  • Substantiated allegations — 5 of the lifetime allegations were substantiated, including 4 within just the past three years, against 39 unsubstantiated and 6 unfounded, putting the overall substantiation rate at roughly 10% of investigated allegations.
Ask the community
  1. 1.Can you walk us through what the 2 Type A findings involved and what corrective steps were put in place?
  2. 2.Which categories of the 5 substantiated allegations were upheld, and were the corrective actions verified by the state?
  3. 3.Given that complaints investigations are more frequent than inspections here, what process do you use internally to track and respond to resident or family concerns?
