AI summary
This small six-bed home has 5 Type A findings (the most severe citation class, involving resident safety or care) and 4 Type B findings (administrative, paperwork-level) across 5.7 years of licensure, but none of the three inspections in the past three years turned up a new Type A or Type B citation on complaint…

visits.
- Track record — Over the full licensed period the home has accumulated 5 Type A and 4 Type B citations, a notable count for a small six-bed operation, along with 2 substantiated allegations out of 3 investigated (roughly 67%).
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, including one in December 2025, show no new Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated allegations, suggesting the home has tightened its practices since the earlier findings.
- Operating tenure — At 5.7 years licensed, the home has a moderate track record — enough inspection cycles to see a pattern, and that pattern shows improvement rather than ongoing risk.
- Complaints — Two of the three total inspections were complaint-driven rather than routine, and one of two investigated allegations was substantiated, so it's worth understanding what prompted those visits.
- 1.Can you walk us through what led to the Type A citations earlier in the home's history and what specific changes were made afterward?
- 2.Which categories of allegations were substantiated, and what corrective actions were taken and verified by the state?
- 3.What ongoing monitoring or self-checks has the home put in place since 2024 to sustain the clean recent record?

Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Families repeatedly describe staff as attentive, warm, and treating residents like family, with some caregivers staying in touch even after a resident passed away.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Reviewers consistently call the home tranquil, modern, and senior-friendly, with accommodations for disabilities and a genuinely home-like feel.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Visitors note the home is spotless and clutter-free on every visit.
- Activities — Residents are described as engaged and happy participating in crossword puzzles, dancing, exercise, and other offered activities.
- Dining — Families say the food looks and tastes good, with residents and visitors both pleased with meals served.
- Staff & care — One detailed account describes a resident being denied bathroom assistance and left in diapers, later diagnosed with severe UTI sepsis, so families should ask specifically about toileting protocols, staffing ratios, and how urgent medical concerns are escalated.
- Communication — Given the sharp contrast between glowing reviews and one alarming complaint about delayed response to declining health, families should ask how the community monitors and reports changes in condition, especially overnight or during short-staffed periods.
