Complaint Investigation
Census: 57 Capacity: 75 Deficiencies: 0 Date: Nov 13, 2023

Visit Reason
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by an allegation that the facility failed to adhere to the admission agreement.

Complaint Details
The complaint alleged the facility failed to credit the correct amount of Resident #1's refundable community fee ($2,000), claiming an 80% credit was due but only 60% was provided. The investigation concluded the 60% credit was appropriate based on the timing of the resident's notice to vacate and admission agreement terms.

There was insufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation, and it was determined to be unsubstantiated.
