Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over more than a decade of operation, the community accumulated 3 Type A findings (the most severe citation class, involving resident safety or care) and 6 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting), giving a mixed but not alarming lifetime picture.
- Recent 3 years — The dated visits from the past three years show a notably cleaner trajectory: zero Type A findings and just one Type B finding, suggesting the more serious issues are not a current pattern.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (8 in the recent period) outnumber routine inspections, and of the allegations investigated over the full licensed period, roughly 22% were substantiated, with 5 confirmed and 13 unsubstantiated.
- Operating tenure — More than 10 years of licensed operation gives this record real weight — enough inspection cycles have passed that the recent improvement is a meaningful signal rather than a small sample.

AI review summary
Families and residents overwhelmingly praise the attentive, compassionate staff and homey atmosphere, though a couple of reviews raise real concerns about staffing levels and billing practices worth clarifying beforehand.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers consistently describe staff, including named directors and nurses, as compassionate, professional, and deeply engaged with residents' individual needs.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The small, intimate setting with an open floor plan and no long hallways is repeatedly praised for feeling homey and helping residents with dementia avoid disorientation.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Multiple reviews across many years describe the community as consistently clean, fresh-smelling, and well-maintained.
- Dining — Families frequently mention the food favorably, with several calling it excellent or noting their loved one enjoyed the meals.
- Activities — Reviewers highlight engaging programming like music performances, crafts, yoga, and special events such as a Valentine's Day celebration with an Elvis impersonator.
- Staffing levels — One review claims only two staff members were on duty at a time and that advertised services like transportation, salon, and art were not actually available, so it's worth confirming current staffing ratios and which amenities are truly staffed.
- Financial transparency — A past review described a refund dispute after a resident's passing and mentioned price increases and management turnover, so families should clarify billing policies for partial months and any recent leadership changes.
- Value & pricing — Ask how costs shift as care needs increase, since pricing starts at $5,500 to $7,000 monthly plus additional care level fees that aren't detailed in reviews.
