AI summary

Sundance Villa, a 4-bed home licensed since 2011, has accumulated 4 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, covering resident safety and care) and 7 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting) over its operating history, with 2 of the Type A findings occurring within the past…

Read Full Summary

three years alongside 3 substantiated allegations.

  • Track record — Over more than 15 years of operation this small 4-bed home has drawn 4 Type A and 7 Type B citations, a notable count for a home of this size where fewer residents typically means fewer opportunities for findings.
  • Recent 3 years — Of the lifetime Type A total, 2 occurred within the past three years, meaning roughly half the most severe findings are recent rather than isolated to the distant past.
  • Complaints — Five complaint investigations have been filed against this home, and 3 of those allegations were substantiated, a substantiation rate of about 38% that is worth understanding in detail.
  • Severity — With both lifetime and recent Type A findings present, the record shows recurring rather than one-time concerns about resident safety or care, which is different from a home with only administrative citations.
Ask the community
  1. 1.Can you walk through what each of the 4 Type A citations involved and what corrective actions were taken?
  2. 2.What specific changes were made after the substantiated allegations, and how has the home verified those changes hold up during recent inspections?
  3. 3.Given that 2 of the 4 Type A findings happened in the last three years, what is different now compared to when those findings occurred?

What reviewers praise
  • Staff & care — Reviewers highlight caring, attentive staff, with one noting it was especially wonderful for a family member with Alzheimer's.
  • Atmosphere & grounds — Families describe the community as homie and welcoming, treating residents like family rather than feeling like a typical facility.
  • Value & pricing — One reviewer found Sundance Villa more affordable than a larger, better-known facility while still providing strong care.
  • Cleanliness & maintenance — A reviewer specifically noted they never worried about cleanliness during their time there.
Worth asking about
  • Daily life & dignity — One family felt the setup wasn't the right fit for their mother, so families should ask how the community tailors care to different needs and personalities.
  • Value & pricing — A reviewer noted that value is hard to judge since most senior care options are expensive, so families should confirm exactly what is included in the cost.
