Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across more than 25 years of operation, this 6-bed home has accumulated 2 Type A findings, the most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care, alongside zero Type B (administrative) citations.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, spanning 2022 through 2026, produced no citations of any kind, indicating the concerns behind the lifetime total are not part of the current pattern.
- Operating tenure — A quarter-century of licensed operation with only two Type A findings in that entire span gives real weight to the recent clean stretch rather than it being too short a sample to trust.
- Complaints — There have been no complaint investigations and no substantiated, unsubstantiated, or unfounded allegations at any point in this home's history.
