Read Full SummaryRead less
- Recent 3 years — Of the 7 lifetime Type A citations, 5 were issued within the past three years, and of the 21 lifetime Type B administrative citations, 12 fall in that same recent window, indicating the concerning pattern is active rather than historical.
- Complaints — The community has had 122 complaint investigations against only 4 routine inspections over its licensed history, an unusually high ratio that suggests complaint-driven scrutiny has been the primary way issues have surfaced here.
- Substantiated allegations — 18 allegations have been substantiated lifetime, 13 of them in the past three years alone, while roughly 8% of all investigated allegations were substantiated overall.
- Operating tenure — 16 years of continuous licensure means this is an established, large-scale community (300 beds), so the scale of complaint volume should be weighed against the size of the population served, though the recent concentration of findings still stands out.
- 1.Which specific categories of allegations were substantiated in the past three years, and what corrective actions were taken and verified by the state?
- 2.What changes has leadership made in response to the 5 recent Type A citations, and how is the facility confirming those changes are holding?
- 3.Given the high volume of complaint investigations relative to routine inspections, what is driving the complaint rate, and how does current staffing compare to licensed capacity?

4.7Average RatingAveraged from 132 reviews published on other websites
AI review summary
Most families and staff partners describe attentive, long-tenured caregivers and a genuinely homelike community, but recent and recurring reports of understaffing, inconsistent care, and pest issues deserve direct follow-up on tour.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly praise staff members by name as warm, attentive, and responsive, with several long-tenured leaders credited for strong resident relationships and consistent communication with families.
- Activities — Families consistently highlight a full activity calendar including outings, music, happy hours, and special events that keep residents socially engaged.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Many describe the courtyard, landscaped grounds, and overall decor as attractive and welcoming, with ongoing renovations noted over the years.
- Dining — A large number of reviews call the food good to very good, especially after a chef change, though a smaller group finds the menu bland or inconsistent.
- Value & pricing — Several families felt the base rate was competitive or a good value compared to other communities they toured in the area.
- Staff & care — A notable minority describe understaffing, slow call-button response, missed medications, or unreported injuries, so families should ask specifically about staff-to-resident ratios and medication oversight.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Several recent reviews report cockroach infestations and odor issues, which contrast sharply with older reviews calling the facility spotless, so a current in-person inspection is important.
- Financial transparency — Multiple reviewers were surprised by one-time community fees, a la carte care charges, and rising costs as needs increased, so ask for a full written breakdown of base rent versus added service fees.
- Activities — A few residents note that weekend and higher-education-level activity options are thinner than weekday programming, worth confirming directly with the activities director.
