- Track record — Across 18.5 years of licensure the home has drawn 10 Type A and 17 Type B (administrative, paperwork-type) citations, a substantial cumulative count for a facility this size.
- Recent 3 years — The last three years still show 2 Type A findings and 4 substantiated allegations out of 3 complaint investigations, so this is not a closed chapter — the concerning pattern has continued into the recent period rather than resolving.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (9 lifetime) have outpaced routine inspections (5 lifetime), and about 69% of investigated allegations were substantiated, a notably high confirmation rate that suggests the complaints prompting review were generally well-founded.
- Operating tenure — An 18.5-year operating history means this record reflects a long, established pattern rather than a new operator still finding its footing, which makes the recurrence of Type A findings more notable.
