Shepherd Homes 1

Over its 10+ years of operation, Shepherd Homes 1 has accumulated one Type A citation (a serious violation affecting resident safety or care) and four Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings related to paperwork, posting, or minor procedure gaps) across five routine inspections that examined areas like medication management and staff training. The community also had one substantiated allegation from two complaint investigations, meaning roughly one-third of investigated concerns were validated by the state. However, the recent record shows a stronger trajectory — there have been no Type A citations, no complaint investigations, and no substantiated allegations in the past three years, suggesting improved compliance with state standards. Families should ask the community about the specific nature of the substantiated allegation and what corrective actions were taken and verified. While the lifetime record includes some concerning findings, the consistent compliance over more than three years of recent oversight provides meaningful reassurance about current operations at this 15-bed facility.
