Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

The Cottages of Carmel has been so welcoming to my sister-in-law, and helpful with her move in. Gina DiMaria in particular was helpful answering all of our emails and texts in a very timely manner. She's a delight, and Suzi is looking forward to her residency at The Cottages.
