Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 5.2 years of licensure, the community has accumulated zero of the most severe (Type A) citations and 5 administrative (Type B) citations, which typically reflect paperwork, posting, or minor procedural gaps rather than resident safety concerns.
- Complaints — The community has seen 21 complaint investigations against only 4 routine inspections over its lifetime, a volume worth understanding given its 125-bed size; about 9% of investigated allegations were substantiated, with 3 confirmed and 23 unsubstantiated.
- Recent 3 years — Activity has picked up markedly in the recent window, with 19 complaint investigations and 10 inspections logged, and all 3 substantiated allegations plus all 3 recent Type B citations fall within this period, meaning the record's findings are recent rather than historical.
- Operating tenure — At just over 5 years of operation, the community has a moderate track record — enough inspection and complaint cycles to draw reasonable conclusions, though not the decades of history that would allow for a longer-term trend view.
- 1.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the recent investigations, and what corrective actions were taken and verified?
- 2.What accounts for the high number of complaint investigations relative to routine inspections over the past few years?
- 3.Can staff walk through what specifically led to the recent Type B administrative citations and whether those issues have been resolved?

AI review summary
Families and residents consistently praise attentive, caring staff and good food, though it's worth asking about room size, activity engagement for less mobile residents, and how care and pricing scale over time.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe staff as attentive, kind, and responsive, going above and beyond for residents in both assisted living and memory care.
- Dining — Most reviewers praise the food as good to excellent, including restaurant-style dining, though a few earlier reviews under prior ownership described the food as disappointing.
- Communication — Families note that staff proactively call, email, and share updates about health, appearance, and behavior, and that concerns are addressed quickly.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — The community is frequently described as clean, well-kept, and beautifully maintained, with a nice atmosphere and grounds.
- Activities — Many residents enjoy a variety of activities such as yoga, cooking classes, and group events, though a few families felt loved ones needed more encouragement to participate.
- Daily life & dignity — A couple of reviewers felt certain residents, especially those with confusion or limited mobility, were left in their rooms too much and needed more encouragement to join activities.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Some visitors found the building's size and layout felt more institutional or hospital-like rather than warm and homelike, with limited outdoor walking space mentioned by one reviewer.
- Value & pricing — Families should confirm current move-in fees and how costs change when a resident transitions to a higher level of care, since older reviews mention specific fees that may no longer apply.
- Communication — It's worth asking how the community handles move-in readiness and maintenance follow-through, since one family described delays in getting a new resident's room fully set up.
