Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 22 years, the home accumulated 8 Type A findings and 25 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), a lifetime tally worth understanding in context rather than at face value.
- Recent 3 years — The last five inspections and one complaint investigation, spanning 2021 through 2026, produced zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating the lifetime findings are concentrated earlier in the home's history rather than reflecting current conditions.
- Complaints — One complaint investigation was filed in the past three years, resulting in three unsubstantiated allegations and no substantiated findings, meaning the concerns raised were investigated but not confirmed.
- Operating tenure — More than two decades of continuous licensure, combined with a clean recent stretch, suggests the earlier findings did not represent a lasting pattern but families should still ask when those citations occurred and what changed.

- 2.What changes were made at the home that led to a clean inspection record over the past three years?
- 3.Regarding the 2024 complaint investigation, what allegations were raised and why were they found unsubstantiated?
