- Track record — Across more than 15 years licensed as an assisted living community for 125 residents, the record shows 2 Type A findings and 9 Type B (administrative) findings, giving regulators a substantial number of inspection cycles to observe the community.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show zero Type A citations across 8 inspections and 1 complaint investigation, though 2 substantiated allegations and 2 Type B citations occurred in that window, indicating the more severe findings are not part of the recent pattern.
- Complaints — Of the allegations investigated over the community's history, roughly 25% were substantiated, with 2 confirmed, 4 unsubstantiated, and 2 unfounded, and both substantiated allegations fall within the recent three-year window.
- Operating tenure — With over 15 years of continuous licensure, the community has a long enough history that its overall pattern of findings carries meaningful weight rather than reflecting a short or unproven track record.
- 1.Which categories of allegations were substantiated in the recent complaint investigations, and what corrective actions were taken and verified?
- 2.Can staff walk through what changed operationally after the two Type A citations were issued, and confirm those issues have not recurred?
- 3.What specific administrative gaps did the Type B citations address, and are those procedures now part of routine staff training?

AI review summary
Most families report attentive, caring staff and strong dining, though a minority describe inconsistent food, outdated fixtures, or care lapses worth asking about.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe staff as warm, attentive, and quick to respond to residents' needs, often knowing residents and families by name.
- Dining — Many families praise the food as fresh, varied week to week, and served with restaurant-style attention, though a few residents found it bland or repetitive.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — The community is frequently described as clean, bright, and homey, with weekly housekeeping for resident rooms.
- Value & pricing — Several reviewers call the fees reasonable compared to other communities, even as costs have risen over time.
- Activities — Residents are offered a variety of activities, including favorites like bingo, though participation varies by individual preference.
- Communication — A couple of reviews mention slow response to complaints or a somewhat unresponsive owner, so ask how resident and family concerns are tracked and resolved.
- Staff & care — One review described a medication error and another a missed catheter issue, so it's worth asking about staff training, oversight, and turnover rates.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Some reviewers noted outdated carpeting and fixtures in certain rooms, so confirm current renovation plans on a tour.
- Financial transparency — Extra charges, such as fees for dining room escorts, were mentioned, so clarify what services are included versus billed separately at different care levels.
