Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across 18 years of licensure, the community has accumulated 8 Type A and 6 Type B (administrative, paperwork or procedure-related) citations, which is a substantial lifetime count worth discussing directly with the community.
- Recent 3 years — The recent slice is markedly calmer than the lifetime total: only 1 Type A citation and 0 Type B citations from complaint visits in the past three years, suggesting the more concerning findings are concentrated earlier in the operating history rather than ongoing.
- Complaints — Of 7 lifetime complaint investigations, 2 allegations were substantiated (about 17%) and the remaining 10 were unsubstantiated, with 1 of the substantiated allegations falling within the past three years.
- Operating tenure — 18 years of continuous licensure gives a long baseline to judge the record against, and the gap between the heavier lifetime totals and the lighter recent numbers points to a meaningfully different pattern in recent years than in the community's earlier history.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the Type A citations involved and in which years they were concentrated?
- 2.What corrective actions were taken after the substantiated allegations, and how were they verified by the state?
- 3.What changes has the community made in the past few years that account for the lighter recent inspection and complaint findings?

AI review summary
Overwhelmingly positive reviews praise warm, attentive staff and a homelike atmosphere, but a few serious complaints about cleanliness, staffing levels, and one severe care-neglect incident warrant direct questions on a tour.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers overwhelmingly and repeatedly describe staff as loving, attentive, and treating residents like family, with many crediting specific caregivers by name for exceptional dedication.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Families consistently describe a homelike, small-community feel with pleasant gardens and common areas that don't feel overwhelming for residents.
- Dining — Meals are frequently called good, healthy, and homelike, with several residents specifically praising the food and kitchen staff.
- Activities — Reviewers highlight engaging, thoughtfully planned activities and celebrations, from holiday parties to birthday parades, that add meaningful moments for residents.
- Communication — Many families note staff are quick to call with concerns and responsive to phone calls, fostering trust during medical situations.
- Staff & care — A small number of reviews describe serious lapses, including a resident left unclothed and unattended and a case alleging delayed COVID testing and treatment that families should ask about directly.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — One review describes significant sanitation issues including mold, filthy bathrooms, and broken refrigeration, which is worth confirming has been resolved on a current tour.
- Staff & care — Some reviewers mention short-staffing during shifts or lunch breaks, so families should ask about staff-to-resident ratios at different times of day.
- Communication — A few reviews note inconsistent communication between staff shifts causing confusion over a resident's care, worth clarifying how handoffs are managed.
