- Track record — Over more than six years of licensure, the community has accumulated one Type A finding and two Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), a light footprint for a home with regular inspection activity.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show five inspections and only one Type B finding, with no Type A citations, indicating the most severe issue on record predates this recent stretch.
- Complaints — Six complaint investigations have been filed over the licensed period, but only one allegation was substantiated, a roughly 9% substantiation rate, suggesting most concerns raised did not hold up on review.
- Operating tenure — With more than six years of consistent licensure and multiple inspection cycles completed, there is a reasonably solid track record to evaluate, and it points toward stable, well-managed operations.

AI review summary
Most families report warm, attentive owner-led care over many years, but one alarming account of neglect and mishandled belongings makes in-person verification essential.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Multiple reviewers describe the owner and caregivers as compassionate, loving, and genuinely attentive to residents over long stays, including end-of-life care.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Families repeatedly describe the home as clean, homey, and comfortable, with residents appearing at ease in the setting.
- Value & pricing — One reviewer notes an all-inclusive rate around $4,800 and shared rooms as a more affordable option than private rooms.
- Daily life & dignity — A small, personal setting with only one facility under the owner is mentioned as making care feel more individualized.
- Staff & care — One detailed account alleges neglect, inappropriate staff behavior, and mishandling of a deceased resident's belongings, so families should ask pointedly about staffing conduct and end-of-life protocols.
- Dining — Meal quality is described inconsistently, from well-prepared meals to a serious complaint about minimal portions, so it's worth asking to see sample menus and actual plated meals.
- Activities — At least one reviewer noted a lack of planned activities or outings, so families should confirm what structured engagement is currently offered.
- Communication — Visiting policies and appointment reliability were questioned in a couple of reviews, so families should verify visiting hours flexibility and how tours or meetings are scheduled.
