Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over its full licensed history, the home has drawn 6 Type A citations (the state's most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 7 Type B citations (administrative issues like paperwork or posting requirements).
- Recent 3 years — The two most recent inspections, in 2024 and 2025, produced no Type A or Type B citations, suggesting the home has stabilized after the earlier findings.
- Operating tenure — More than 16 years of continuous licensure gives real weight to the recent clean stretch, since it reflects five separate inspection cycles rather than a single snapshot.
- Complaints — No complaint investigations have been filed against this home at any point in its licensed history, and there are zero substantiated, unsubstantiated, or unfounded allegations on record.

AI review summary
Families consistently praise this small home for attentive, family-like end-of-life care and cleanliness, but should clarify refund policies and how care-level limits are handled before a crisis.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe the owner and staff as compassionate, gentle, and skilled, especially in supporting residents through hospice and end-of-life care.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Multiple families note the home is consistently spotless with no foul odors, even for bed-bound residents over extended stays.
- Dining — Reviewers frequently mention healthy, appropriately portioned meals that met residents' medical and nutritional needs.
- Communication — Families highlight frequent, responsive updates from the owner, describing her as reachable by text and call and coordinating closely with hospice teams.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The small size of the home, around six residents, is described as allowing personalized attention while still offering companionship.
- Financial transparency — One family reported being denied any refund after the home determined it could not meet a resident's higher care needs, so ask about the refund and payment policy upfront.
- Value & pricing — Given the mixed experience around unmet care levels, families should confirm in writing what happens financially and logistically if a resident's needs exceed the home's capabilities.
- Staff & care — With only a small live-in staff, it's worth asking how coverage and care quality are maintained during staff vacations or emergencies.
