Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over more than a decade of licensure, this six-bed home has one Type A finding (the state's most severe citation class, affecting resident safety or care) and one substantiated allegation, out of three complaint investigations.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, running through April 2026, show no Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated complaints, indicating the earlier finding has not recurred.
- Complaints — The Type A finding and the substantiated allegation both trace back to complaint investigations from late 2021; roughly a quarter of all investigated allegations over the years were substantiated, with the rest unsubstantiated.
- Operating tenure — With over 10 years of consistent licensure and four inspections covering life safety and care practices during that span, there is a solid base of history to judge the recent clean stretch against.
