About 33 months of inspection history on file.

10/20

Severity levels

State does not publish a usable severity/risk tier for citations.

0/15

Complaints are not published (or not present) in the public feed.

0/15

% with any inspection

100.0% of providers have at least one inspection on file (425 of 425).

15/15

Access friction

Partial barriers (gated PDFs, quotas, or incomplete structured fields).

5/10

DHS HANA portal posts visits/deficiencies (2024+); search API often 502 so roster is visit-probed and still partial.

What this grade means

Does well: Structured visit checklists and deficiency narratives where posted.

Where it falls short: Provider search is unreliable; CCDF posting still incomplete; family-care coverage depends on HANA discovery.
