Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over nine and a half years of licensure the community has drawn a single Type A finding (the most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and zero Type B administrative citations, a light footprint for an assisted living community of this size.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show a clean slate: three inspections and six complaint investigations produced no Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated allegations, indicating the lifetime finding sits outside the recent window.
- Complaints — Seven complaint investigations have been logged over the licensed period, all but one resulting in unsubstantiated findings and none substantiated, suggesting the facility has been frequently checked but rarely found at fault.
- Operating tenure — Nearly a decade of consistent licensure, paired with the recent clean run across both inspections and complaint reviews covering medication management and resident care practices, supports confidence in the current trajectory.

AI review summary
Reviews are sharply divided: some praise attentive, compassionate staff and cleanliness, while others raise serious concerns about resident safety, dietary care, and communication around discharge decisions.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Several reviewers describe staff as attentive and caring, noting good hygiene support and efforts to keep bedbound residents mobile and comfortable.
- Communication — One family highlighted a manager who was highly responsive and went out of her way to help during a difficult move-out process.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Despite modest decor, residents were described as appearing comfortable and happy in the home-like setting.
- Staff & care — A serious incident involving a resident leaving unsupervised and being hit by a car raises questions about supervision and safety protocols that families should ask about directly.
- Dining — One reviewer described inappropriate meals for a diabetic resident, including starchy, salty foods that seemed misaligned with dietary needs, so families should confirm how the community handles special diets.
- Communication — A family described being given no explanation when a resident was not allowed to return after hospitalization, so it's worth asking how the community communicates major care decisions to families.
