- Track record — Over its licensed period, the community has accumulated 4 Type A findings and no Type B (administrative) findings, all arising from a small number of inspection and complaint visits, which for a 6-bed home means each finding carries more relative weight than it would in a larger community.
- Recent 3 years — Two of the four Type A findings and both substantiated allegations trace to a single complaint investigation in December 2024, so the concerning activity is concentrated in one recent episode rather than spread evenly across the operating period.
- Complaints — The one complaint investigation on record resulted in both allegations being substantiated, a 100% substantiation rate, which is worth understanding in detail even though the sample is just one investigation.
- Operating tenure — With only 3.5 years of licensed history and six inspection or complaint visits total, there is a limited track record to draw on, so this single episode represents a meaningful share of the community's entire compliance history.
- 1.What specifically was cited in the December 2024 complaint investigation, and which resident-care areas did it involve?
- 2.What corrective actions did the community take after the substantiated allegations, and has the state verified those corrections?
- 3.Have there been any inspections or complaints since January 2026, and if so, what did they find?

- Staff & care — Caregivers are described as treating residents like their own parents, with named staff singled out for their loving attentiveness.
- Dining — Meals are freshly cooked daily and praised as delicious by residents and families.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — The community is repeatedly described as super clean, safe, and quiet.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Families describe the setting as home-like rather than institutional, contributing to residents' happiness and comfort.
- Value & pricing — Reviews don't mention pricing, so families should confirm monthly costs and how fees change if care needs increase.
- Staff & care — It would help to ask about overall staffing ratios and weekend coverage, since the reviews highlight only a couple of specific caregivers.
