Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over almost 13 years of licensure, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 3 Type A findings and 2 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), alongside 1 substantiated allegation out of 5 investigated.
- Recent 3 years — The last three annual inspections, including the most recent in August 2025, show no Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated complaints, indicating a stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone suggests.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 13 years of continuous licensure gives this record meaningful weight, and the shift from earlier findings to a clean recent stretch is a useful signal of consistency going forward.
- Severity — With a small capacity of 6 beds, the handful of lifetime findings reflects a limited number of inspection cycles overall, and the recent clean visits cover core areas like resident care planning and medication management.

AI review summary
Reviews are sharply split: some families describe a warm, family-like home, while others report serious concerns about pricing honesty, privacy, and care practices that warrant careful verification before moving in.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Atmosphere & grounds — Visitors describe a clean, tidy home in a residential setting with comfortable common areas where residents gather rather than staying isolated in bedrooms.
- Daily life & dignity — Some families feel residents are treated like family, with warmth, affection, and consistent daily routines including shared meals and social time in the living room.
- Activities — Reviewers note residents are kept engaged with group activities, TV, knitting, and conversation, which some families felt provided good mental stimulation.
- Financial transparency — Multiple reviewers report price increases after signing paperwork, added transportation fees, and charges above the amounts initially quoted, so families should get all costs and potential increases in writing.
- Staff & care — One reviewer alleges inconsistent staffing practices and lapses in care such as delayed diaper changes, which families should ask about directly regarding staff turnover and care protocols.
- Communication — Reports of monitored phone calls, limited privacy, and poor coordination between the owners raise questions worth clarifying about how resident privacy and family communication are handled.
- Value & pricing — Reviewers disagree sharply on affordability and fairness of costs, so families should confirm current rates, hospice-related fees, and how they compare to other local options.
