Licenses are issued to one legal operator at one street address for one year at a time; the current year began July 1, 2026. If the building changes hands, the new owner needs a new license and the number changes.
Sorted by license number, CRC-0932 falls at position 15 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.
What happens at Joanne's Community Care Home #1 if a resident's memory declines?
DPH's record for Joanne's Community Care Home #1 has no Alzheimer's special care unit flag, so it has no secured dementia area; someone who begins to wander would usually need to move to a facility that has one.
Regulation 60-84 bars a CRCF from keeping a resident whom a physician considers a danger to self or others, and unsafe wandering is the usual reason that line is crossed. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Blake at Woodcreek Farms (2.0 mi), Wildewood Downs Assisted Living Community (4.8 mi), Mill Creek Manor (4.8 mi).
Has DPH issued an enforcement order against Joanne's Community Care Home #1?
Not in the period we checked: Joanne's Community Care Home #1 is absent from every DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement report from January 2025 to September 2026.
Keep that in proportion. Penalty orders are the exception; most problems DPH finds on a visit are closed out with a plan of correction that never appears in the monthly report.
How do I get the latest state inspection of Joanne's Community Care Home #1?
They are public, though not online. Under Regulation 60-84 Section 202.E, DPH releases inspection and complaint investigation reports for a CRCF such as Joanne's Community Care Home #1, with the correction plan and with names redacted, on written request.
DPH has no fixed inspection schedule for CRCFs, so ask when the last visit happened, what was cited, and to see the plan of correction the administrator signed.

What does Joanne's Community Care Home #1's record suggest asking on a tour?
Use the public record as your checklist: request the newest inspection or complaint report from DPH and the correction plan that followed it.
- With 10 beds full, Regulation 60-84 requires at least 2 staff on duty at peak times and 1 overnight; ask what the real numbers are.
- Before counting on public help, ask whether OSS or the Community Choices waiver's Residential Personal Care is accepted here.
- Ask which charges rise as care needs rise, and check that the agreement promises 30 days' notice of any increase.
