Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over a decade of licensure, this small 6-bed home has accumulated one Type A finding and three Type B (administrative) findings, with one substantiated allegation out of three investigated.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, running through January 2026, show no Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated complaints, indicating a cleaner recent stretch than the lifetime record alone suggests.
- Complaints — All three complaint investigations occurred in 2021 and 2022, with one substantiated allegation and two unsubstantiated; none have recurred in the past three years.
- Operating tenure — More than ten years of consistent licensure gives reasonable confidence in reading this as a settled, small-scale operation rather than an unproven one.
