AI Summary

Senior Manor Care III has 2 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) across just over 7 years of operation, and both occurred within the past three years, alongside 1 substantiated allegation out of 3 complaint investigations.

Recent 3 years — Both Type A citations date to the past three years, meaning the most serious findings on record are also the most recent, so the family should ask what specifically triggered them and what corrective steps followed.
Complaints — All 3 complaint investigations occurred in the past three years, and 1 of them resulted in a substantiated allegation while the other 2 were unsubstantiated, a roughly 14% substantiation rate across the community's lifetime.
Track record — Outside of the two recent Type A findings, the remaining six citations are administrative Type B findings (paperwork, posting, or minor procedure gaps) rather than care or safety concerns.
Operating tenure — With just over 7 years licensed and a small 6-bed capacity, this is a modest but not brand-new operating history, giving some signal but still a relatively small number of inspection cycles to draw from.

Ask the community

1.Can you walk through what led to each of the two Type A citations issued in the past three years and what corrective actions were verified afterward?
2.What was the nature of the substantiated allegation, and what changes were made to prevent a recurrence?
3.Since both serious findings are recent, has anything changed in staffing, training, or care procedures since 2025?
