- Track record — Over almost 15 years of licensure, the community has accumulated 1 Type A finding (the most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and 3 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps).
- Recent 3 years — The Type A finding and 1 of the Type B findings both fall within the past three years, alongside 2 substantiated allegations, so the recent slice carries most of the record's weight rather than the finding being an isolated event from long ago.
- Complaints — Four allegations have been investigated over the licensed period, and 4 of the 5 total allegations (about 80%) were substantiated, which is a notably high rate worth discussing directly with the community.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 15 years of continuous licensure gives a substantial track record to weigh the recent findings against, rather than a short or unproven history.

- 2.Of the four substantiated allegations, which categories did they fall into, and how were they resolved and verified by the state?

AI review summary
Families consistently praise the warm, well-trained caregiving staff and homelike memory care environment, but should ask about admissions criteria, meal quality, and staff communication consistency.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe caregivers as kind, patient, well-trained, and genuinely attentive to residents with dementia.
- Activities — Musical programs and an activities director are frequently singled out as highlights that keep residents engaged and happy.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Families describe the community as clean, homelike, and beautiful, with well-maintained patios and private rooms.
- Communication — Several reviewers note the staff and director were approachable and worked closely with families through difficult transitions, including end-of-life care and finances.
- Dining — While most reviewers say the food is good or homemade, at least one review specifically felt meals could be improved.
- Communication — One reviewer noted inconsistent updates between staff members about a resident's eating and medication, suggesting families should ask how care information is coordinated and relayed.
- Admissions process — A past applicant reported being rejected after a positive evaluation with no explanation, so families should clarify the admissions criteria and process upfront.
- Value & pricing — Ask about current pricing structure and how costs shift as care needs increase, since older reviews mention reasonable pricing but this isn't addressed in recent feedback.
