Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Across more than 26 years of licensure, the community has drawn 18 Type A findings and 5 Type B (administrative) findings, a substantial lifetime count for a single campus.
  • Recent 3 years — Five Type A findings and 4 substantiated allegations have occurred in just the last three years, indicating the concerns are not confined to the distant past but reflect a current pattern worth understanding.
  • Complaints — Complaint investigations (14 lifetime, 11 in the past three years) have run well ahead of routine inspections, and roughly 19% of investigated allegations were substantiated, with the remainder split between unsubstantiated and unfounded.
  • Operating tenure — A 26-year operating history means the community has been through many inspection cycles, so this record reflects sustained experience rather than a limited sample.

AI review summary

Reviewers overwhelmingly praise the warm staff, lively activities, and excellent dining, but families should verify care consistency, transportation reliability, and deposit/refund policies before committing.

Read Full Summary
What reviewers praise
  • Staff & care — Residents and families repeatedly describe staff as friendly, attentive, and quick to learn residents by name, with several long-term residents saying caregivers go out of their way to help.
  • Dining — The food is one of the most consistently praised aspects, with many reviewers naming specific favorite dishes, homemade soups, and a well-liked chef and culinary team.
  • Activities — A wide range of activities such as bingo, jeopardy, flower arranging, social cafés, happy hours, and exercise classes are frequently highlighted as engaging and fun.
  • Atmosphere & grounds — Many describe the community as homey, calm, and hotel-like rather than institutional, with attractive rooms, mountain views, and well-kept common areas.
  • Cleanliness & maintenance — Numerous reviewers note the community is kept very clean, though a couple of older reviews mention worn furniture and rugs in need of updating.
Worth asking about
  • Communication — A few reviewers describe needing to follow up multiple times before requests were completed and inconsistent proactive updates from staff, so families should ask how care changes and daily updates are communicated.
  • Staff & care — Some reviews mention inconsistent monitoring of declining residents and a medication mix-up, so it's worth asking about staffing ratios, medication management protocols, and how care level increases are handled.
  • Financial transparency — One family reported difficulty getting a promised refundable deposit returned, so families should clarify deposit, refund, and admission policies in writing before paying.
  • Value & pricing — Several reviewers found pricing steep relative to unit size or budget, so it's wise to confirm current rates across care levels and any add-on fees for transportation or higher care.
