Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 5.5 years, the home has accumulated 2 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and 3 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps).
- Recent 3 years — None of the Type A citations fall within the past three years of dated visits, and only 1 Type B citation appears in that recent window, suggesting the more serious findings are not part of the current pattern.
- Complaints — One of the two investigated allegations was substantiated, a 50% substantiation rate, and that substantiated allegation occurred within the past three years.
- Operating tenure — A licensed history of 5.5 years with 4 lifetime inspections and 2 complaint investigations gives a modest but reasonable base of visits to judge the pattern, especially for a small 6-bed home where fewer findings are typical simply due to scale.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the two Type A findings involved and what changes were made afterward?
- 2.What was the nature of the substantiated allegation from the past three years, and how was it resolved?
- 3.Since the recent inspection cycle looks cleaner than the lifetime record, what specific practices changed to bring that about?

- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly praise Mark and his staff as caring, responsive, and flexible, coordinating doctor visits, medications, and hospice care as needed.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Multiple reviewers independently describe the home as spotless and well-maintained, noting this was especially important to families with high cleanliness standards.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Families consistently say the home feels warm and welcoming, describing it as truly feeling like a second home rather than a facility.
- Dining — The food is described as nutritious and tasty, with staff accommodating special dietary needs such as puréed food or ethnic preferences.
- Financial transparency — One reviewer highlights that the community is fully all-inclusive, removing the burden of coordinating and paying separately for medical appointments and medications.
- Value & pricing — Families should ask how the all-inclusive pricing model works and whether costs change as care needs increase over time.
- Communication — It would be worth confirming staffing levels and communication practices during nights, weekends, or emergencies since reviews focus mainly on daytime interactions.
