Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — The lifetime record includes 4 Type A citations (the state's most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 5 Type B citations (administrative issues like paperwork or posting requirements), all dating to earlier in the community's operating history.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, spanning 2023 through early 2026, show no Type A or Type B citations at all, indicating a meaningfully stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone suggests.
- Operating tenure — With 6.5 years of licensing and five total inspections, there is a reasonable inspection history to evaluate, and the shift from earlier findings to a clean recent stretch is a meaningful data point.
- Complaints — There have been no complaint investigations of any kind over the full licensed period, so the record reflects only routine inspection findings rather than allegation-driven scrutiny.

AI review summary
Reviews are sharply mixed, with strong praise for cleanliness and attentive staff alongside one serious complaint of a poor overall experience, so families should investigate carefully before deciding.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Cleanliness & maintenance — One reviewer described the community as the cleanest place they had seen, with no lingering odors or masking scents.
- Staff & care — Staff are described as friendly and attentive, encouraging residents to join meals and activities while respecting their preferences.
- Daily life & dignity — A family member noted their loved one appeared comfortable and well cared for without needing to closely monitor daily routines.
- Staff & care — One family reported a strongly negative overall experience and explicitly would not recommend the community, so it's worth asking staff directly about specific care practices and incident history.
- Communication — A reviewer mentioned a language barrier with staff that took time to work through, so families should ask how communication is handled for residents and visitors.
- Value & pricing — Reviews don't address costs or how fees might change if care needs increase, so this should be clarified during a tour.
