Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across almost 25 years of licensure, the community has never received a Type A citation, the state's most severe class tied to resident safety or care, and only two Type B administrative findings (paperwork or procedural gaps) appear in the entire record.
- Operating tenure — A licensed history stretching back to 2001 with four inspections and consistent visits through late 2025 gives this record substantial weight; this is not a thin or short-term sample.
- Complaints — Of 20 allegations investigated over the community's history, only one was substantiated, a substantiation rate of roughly 5%, while 16 were unsubstantiated and 3 unfounded, and the one confirmed issue falls within the past three years.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show six complaint investigations alongside three inspections, more complaint activity than inspection activity, but with only one Type B finding and no Type A findings resulting, consistent with the clean lifetime pattern.

- Cleanliness & maintenance — A few reviewers describe rooms that were not repainted or deep-cleaned for years and worn carpets, so families should ask about individual apartment upkeep versus common-area renovations.
- Financial transparency — Multiple reviews mention confusion or delayed notice around care-level increases and billing, so families should clarify in advance how fees change as care needs grow.
- Staff & care — A small number of serious complaints describe missed showers and inconsistent care oversight, worth asking about staffing ratios and accountability practices during a tour.
