AI summary

St. Stephen's Home carries one Type A finding across 8 years of operation, with no Type A citations in the past three years and a generally stable inspection history.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over 8 years of licensure, the home has accumulated one Type A finding (the most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and three Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps), a light footprint for a small 6-bed home.
  • Recent 3 years — The past three years show no Type A citations and only one Type B finding, suggesting the more serious issue from earlier in the license period has not recurred.
  • Complaints — Three complaint investigations have been filed over the license period, with 3 of 5 investigated allegations substantiated (about 60%); one substantiated allegation falls within the recent three-year window, so it's worth understanding what it involved and how it was resolved.
  • Operating tenure — Eight years of continuous licensure with only five routine inspections gives a reasonably established record, though as a small home its inspection volume is naturally lower than larger communities.

AI review summary

Experiences vary sharply: some praise attentive, caring staff, while others report thin staffing, cleanliness failures, and unclear financial terms that families should verify closely.

Read Full Summary
What reviewers praise
  • Staff & care — Several reviewers describe staff as attentive, caring, and engaged, with organized activities and genuine warmth toward residents.
  • Atmosphere & grounds — One family highlighted a private room with a conveniently located bathroom as a strong feature.
  • Dining — At least one reviewer noted their loved one loved the food, suggesting dining can be a highlight for some residents.
Worth asking about
  • Cleanliness & maintenance — One reviewer removed their loved one after receiving photos showing the home was filthy, so families should ask about current cleaning practices and inspect rooms in person.
  • Staff & care — Another visitor observed only one staff member on duty with no residents visible outside their rooms, raising questions about staffing levels at different times of day.
  • Financial transparency — A reviewer reported the home didn't clearly explain that families would be responsible for any gap if Social Security didn't cover the full monthly fee, so it's worth confirming exactly how billing and payment responsibility work.
  • Communication — One family said policies about allowing a resident's pet were reversed after being previously approved, so it's important to get any special accommodations confirmed in writing.
