Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across 13.7 years of licensure, this small 8-bed home has drawn 4 Type A findings and 1 Type B (administrative) finding, along with 1 substantiated complaint allegation.
- Recent 3 years — Of the lifetime Type A total, 1 falls within the most recent three-year window, tied to a complaint investigation in September 2024, meaning the bulk of the historical findings predate the recent period.
- Complaints — One of the two lifetime complaint investigations was substantiated, a roughly 50% substantiation rate, and that same case is the source of the recent Type A citation.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 14 years of continuous licensure gives a reasonably long track record to weigh, though as a small 8-bed home, findings here carry more relative weight per capita than in a larger community.

- Communication — Families note that staff communicate quickly and clearly about any changes in a resident's condition or care plan.
- Dining — Home-cooked, nutritious meals that are thoughtfully presented are a recurring highlight across reviews.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The small, intimate setting of just a handful of residents combined with a peaceful, beautifully landscaped home creates a genuine family-like atmosphere.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Multiple reviewers describe the facility as immaculately clean and well organized, from personal grooming to daily routines.
- Value & pricing — Reviews don't mention cost details, so families should confirm pricing and how fees may change if a resident's care needs increase over time.
- Staff & care — Given the small resident-to-caregiver setting, it would help to ask about overnight and weekend staffing coverage to ensure consistent support.
