- Track record — The lifetime count of 8 Type A and 5 Type B citations is substantial for a community licensed only since 2022, indicating a pattern worth understanding rather than an isolated incident.
- Recent 3 years — Half of the lifetime Type A total, 4 citations, falls within the recent 3-year window, meaning the concerning findings are concentrated close to the present rather than fading into the past.
- Complaints — 6 of 8 investigated allegations were substantiated, a substantiation rate of roughly 75%, and complaint investigations have run alongside routine inspections throughout the licensed period rather than being a rare occurrence.
- Operating tenure — With only 4 years of operating history and 2 routine inspections plus 4 complaint-driven visits, the record is still relatively short, so each finding carries more weight in the overall picture than it would for a longer-tenured community.
- 1.Which specific categories of care or safety were cited in the Type A findings, and what corrective actions were taken and verified by the state?
- 2.Of the 6 substantiated allegations, what were the underlying concerns and has the community changed any staffing, training, or oversight practices as a result?
- 3.Since the most recent Type A citations occurred within the past year, what steps has leadership taken to demonstrate improvement, and can they share the most recent inspection results directly?

AI review summary
Most families praise the warm, attentive staff and homelike, small-scale setting, but a few serious older reviews about understaffing and hygiene lapses warrant direct questions on a tour.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe staff as compassionate, attentive, and treating residents and families like their own, often going above and beyond with hospice and medical coordination.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Many mention the beautiful, park-like gardens and small, homelike scale of the community as a welcome contrast to larger, more institutional facilities.
- Communication — Families frequently note that staff and nurses proactively call with updates on health changes, skin issues, or care needs.
- Dining — Several reviews praise home-cooked, made-from-scratch meals, though one review found the food bland and unappetizing when texture-modified.
- Value & pricing — More than one reviewer highlights the community as an affordable option for families with limited budgets facing urgent placement decisions.
- Staff & care — A couple of older reviews raise serious concerns about understaffing, over-medication, and inadequate hygiene, including reports of infections and falls, so families should ask about current staffing ratios and safety protocols.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — One past review described a serious illness outbreak tied to food handling, making it worth confirming current kitchen and infection-control practices.
- Activities — A couple of reviewers felt activities and stimulation were limited, mostly TV-watching, so families should ask for a current activities calendar.
- Daily life & dignity — One reviewer noted room layout issues, such as residents walking through a shared room to reach the dining area, so it's worth touring specific rooms and traffic patterns before choosing one.
