- Track record — Across its full licensed history, the home has drawn 5 Type A and 10 Type B citations, a notable count for a small six-bed community and worth understanding in more detail from staff.
- Recent 3 years — Of the lifetime Type A total, 1 occurred within the past three years, tied to a complaint investigation in September 2023; the other four Type A findings fall outside that recent window.
- Complaints — The single complaint investigation on record was substantiated, meaning the allegation was confirmed and resulted in at least one of the recent Type A findings.
- Operating tenure — The home has been licensed for just over 12 years, giving a reasonably long track record against which to weigh these findings rather than a short or unproven history.
- 1.Can you walk through what led to the Type A citations, both historically and the one from the 2023 complaint investigation?
- 2.What corrective actions were taken after the substantiated complaint, and how has the home verified those changes are holding?
- 3.Have there been any additional inspections or complaints since the August 2025 visit, and what were the outcomes?

AI review summary
A small, homey setting with attentive owners pleases many families, but recent reviews raise serious concerns about understaffing, activities, and food quality worth verifying firsthand.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Atmosphere & grounds — Families consistently describe the community as small, homey, and cozy, with private rooms and pleasant outdoor areas for residents to enjoy.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Reviewers across many years note the house is kept clean, fresh, and well maintained.
- Communication — Several families mention the owner communicates well and that move-in and placement processes went smoothly and quickly.
- Staff & care — Some reviewers praise the personalized, one-on-one attention and friendly staff, especially in smoller-scale care situations like hospice support.
- Staff & care — Multiple recent reviews report that despite promises of two full-time staff around the clock, only one worker was present at a time, sometimes leaving residents unsupervised; ask about current staffing ratios and coverage.
- Dining — Several reviewers describe meals as mostly frozen or processed food with small portions and little fresh fruit or vegetables, so families should ask to see a sample menu and current meal offerings.
- Activities — More than one reviewer says advertised daily activities do not actually take place, so it's worth asking for a real activities schedule and how it's followed.
- Financial transparency — Given the gap between what was promised at intake regarding staffing and activities and what families experienced, it's wise to get specific commitments in writing before move-in.
