Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across more than two decades of licensure, the community has not accumulated any Type A (most severe, resident safety and care related) or Type B (administrative, paperwork and procedural) citations, and inspections in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025 all came back clean.
- Operating tenure — More than 21 years of continuous licensure gives this record substantial weight — this is a long operating history with a consistently clean inspection file rather than a short or untested one.
- Complaints — There have been no complaint investigations on file, meaning the clean record reflects routine inspection findings only, covering areas like medication management and staff training, with no allegation-driven scrutiny to weigh against it.

AI review summary
Families consistently praise the warmth and genuine care of the staff and find the pricing reasonable, though some feel one-on-one attention could be improved.

- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe staff as friendly and genuinely dedicated, with one family feeling their mother was cared for like family.
- Value & pricing — One family found the community about half the cost of their previous placement while being just as nice.
- Staff & care — One reviewer felt staff could offer more personal one-on-one time with residents, which is worth asking about regarding staffing ratios.
- Communication — Reviews don't detail how the community communicates with families about care changes, so it's worth confirming their update process on a tour.
