Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 7 years of licensure, CityView has accumulated 2 Type A citations (the most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 4 Type B citations (administrative findings like paperwork or posting gaps), a record worth discussing directly with the community.
- Recent 3 years — Both Type A citations and all 4 substantiated allegations fall within the past three years, meaning the concerns are current rather than historical, so the family should ask about what has changed since these findings.
- Complaints — With 29 complaint investigations against only 4 routine inspections over the licensed period, the volume of complaints substantially outweighs scheduled oversight visits, and of the investigated allegations, roughly 7% were substantiated while the large majority were unsubstantiated.
- Operating tenure — 7 years of continuous licensure and a capacity of 166 beds give a reasonably established base of inspection cycles to draw on, so this record reflects a meaningful operating history rather than a short or thin sample.
- 1.Can you walk us through what happened in the two Type A citations issued in the past three years and what corrective actions were taken?
- 2.What categories did the 4 substantiated allegations fall into, and how were those issues resolved and verified by the state?
- 3.Given that complaint investigations far outnumber routine inspections here, what is driving the volume of complaints and how does staff respond to them?

AI review summary
Most families report warm, attentive staff and a lively, well-kept community, but a handful of serious past complaints about care lapses and communication make it worth probing carefully on a tour.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe caregivers and administrators, including a specifically named administrator, as kind, attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in residents' wellbeing.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The rooftop with 360-degree city views, clean common areas, and well-kept rooms are mentioned again and again as highlights of the physical setting.
- Activities — Families note a full activity calendar including bingo, crafts, outings to local shops and Target, and rooftop BBQs that keep residents engaged.
- Dining — Many reviewers praise tasty, well-prepared meals and staff willingness to accommodate dietary needs, though this is not universal.
- Daily life & dignity — Several recent reviews highlight attentive grooming, saved meals for late diners, and a memory care floor layout designed to let residents walk freely without feeling confined.
- Communication — Some reviewers describe slow or inconsistent communication about medical changes, medication issues, or resident incidents, so ask how the team keeps families updated in real time.
- Staff & care — A small number of reviews describe serious lapses in call-button response, medication administration, and supervision during past periods, so it's worth asking about current staffing ratios and safety protocols, especially in memory care.
- Dining — A few reviews mention inconsistent portion sizes or repetitive menus, so families may want to sample a meal and ask about menu rotation.
- Value & pricing — Reviewers describe the community as costly and note pricing can be hard to assess, so confirm exactly how fees change as care needs increase.
