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.

Carmelo Park helped us with our beloved family member for a few years. Their staff was always very attentive and friendly. It’s very homelike and smaller for good reasons! Thanks to Matt and his family and staff we felt safe with our loved one.
