Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — The facility has a citation-free record across its entire licensed history, with no findings of any class recorded during any inspection.
- Operating tenure — More than 16 years of continuous licensure with a consistently clean record reflects a long, stable operating history.
- Recent 3 years — All four inspections on file fall within the past three years, and each was completed without any citations, meaning the most recent scrutiny of life safety, staff practices, and resident care plans found nothing to flag.
- Complaints — No complaint investigations have been filed against this small, 6-bed home, so there is no allegation history to weigh alongside the inspection record.

Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe staff and owners as loving, attentive, and professional, with one RN reviewer specifically vouching for the quality of hands-on care delivered.
- Communication — Families consistently mention being kept informed and included in updates, including seamless coordination with hospice nurses during end-of-life care.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The home is frequently described as elegant, homey, and family-like rather than institutional, helping residents feel truly at home.
- Dining — Multiple reviewers highlight home-cooked, gourmet-quality meals as a standout feature of daily life there.
- Atmosphere & grounds — One family found the formal, house-like setting and shared hallway bathroom made visitors feel like they were intruding on someone's private home, so families should tour to gauge comfort with this residential-style layout.
- Value & pricing — Reviews don't detail costs or how fees might change if a resident's care needs increase, so this is worth clarifying directly with the owners.
