Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across five inspections since licensing in 2019, the home has accumulated only one Type B (administrative) citation and zero Type A findings, indicating no pattern of safety or care-related issues.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, spanning 2024 through early 2026, show no citations of any kind, reflecting a clean and steady recent trajectory.
- Operating tenure — With 7.5 years of consistent licensure and regular annual inspection cycles, the record reflects a meaningful operating history rather than a short or untested one.
- Scope of clean record — The absence of complaint investigations and substantiated allegations means there is no documented history of resident or family concerns being escalated to the state for this small, 6-bed home.

AI review summary
Families consistently describe Astoria Care Home as an exceptionally caring, home-like environment where owners Elvira and Ted go far beyond expectations, especially during end-of-life care.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly highlight Elvira and Ted's hands-on, compassionate care, including attending to residents constantly and even after they left the facility.
- Daily life & dignity — Families describe efforts to honor residents' wishes, such as helping a dying resident get outside to enjoy the yard despite significant physical challenges.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The home is praised for feeling like a true residence rather than an institution, with a beautiful yard mentioned as a meaningful comfort for residents.
- Value & pricing — One reviewer who compared many board and care homes in the area felt Astoria stood far above the competition.
- Financial transparency — The reviews don't discuss costs, fee structures, or how pricing might change with increased care needs, so families should confirm this directly.
- Communication — There's little detail on day-to-day communication practices or how families are updated when a resident's condition changes outside of end-of-life situations, so this is worth asking about on a tour.
