- Track record — Over 23 years of licensure, this 6-bed home has accumulated 3 Type A and 3 Type B citations along with 3 substantiated complaint allegations, all tied to visits before the most recent three-year window.
- Recent 3 years — The four inspections conducted since 2022 produced zero citations and zero substantiated complaints, showing a cleaner recent stretch after the earlier findings.
- Complaints — All three complaint investigations on record resulted in substantiated allegations, a 100% substantiation rate, though the most recent one dates to 2023 and the one before that to 2021.
- Operating tenure — 23 years of continuous licensure gives this record real depth, and the shift from citations in earlier years to a clean recent run is a meaningful data point to weigh alongside the lifetime totals.

AI review summary
Families describe caring, patient staff and good food, but the home itself is older and shared rooms are notably tight on space.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers consistently praise Dinah and her staff as patient, kind, and attentive, helping residents transition smoothly and stay comfortable long-term.
- Dining — One long-term family member notes that meals are tasty and healthy.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Recent feedback describes the environment as warm and compassionate overall.
- Daily life & dignity — One reviewer found the shared bedrooms and closets quite small, with only one dresser split between two residents, so families should ask about room size and storage before choosing a shared space.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — The home is in an older house in an older neighborhood, so it's worth touring to assess the building's current condition and upkeep.
