a high volume of complaint investigations relative to its short operating history.
- Operating tenure — The community has been licensed for just over 2 years, so this entire record reflects a relatively short and recent operating window rather than a long track record to average against.
- Recent 3 years — Nearly all activity falls within the past three years, including 4 Type A citations and 8 Type B citations generated from complaint visits, along with 9 substantiated allegations — this is an active, current picture, not an old pattern that has since improved.
- Complaints — 42 complaint investigations against only 2 routine inspections is a striking ratio, meaning most of what the state knows about this community came from responding to specific complaints rather than scheduled reviews; of those, roughly 12% of investigated allegations were substantiated, with the majority closed as unsubstantiated or unfounded.
- Severity — One lifetime Type A finding is on record, but the recent-3-year data shows 4 Type A citations tied to complaint visits, indicating safety- or care-related concerns have been identified more than once in a short window and warrant direct follow-up.
- 1.Can you walk through what each of the recent Type A citations involved and what corrective actions were taken?
- 2.Given the high number of complaint investigations relative to inspections, what are the most common reasons families or staff have filed complaints here?
- 3.Of the 9 substantiated allegations, which categories were they in, and how were they resolved and verified by the state?

AI review summary
Recent reviews under the Savant name show notable improvement in atmosphere and staff warmth, but the long history of serious neglect, medication, and staffing complaints at this address warrants careful, direct verification before moving in.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Atmosphere & grounds — Recent reviewers describe a clean, well-decorated, hotel-like building with attractive grounds, a lake view, and inviting common spaces.
- Staff & care — Many reviews, especially more recent ones, praise specific staff by name as attentive, warm, and consistently engaged with residents.
- Activities — Families consistently mention a full activities calendar, an engaged activities director, and inclusive programming that residents enjoy.
- Dining — A number of reviewers over the years describe the food as good and varied, with some noting weight gain and increased appetite among residents.
- Staff & care — A long pattern of reviews describes slow response to call buttons, falls without prompt assistance, and inconsistent staffing on evenings and weekends, so families should ask about current staffing ratios and emergency response times.
- Daily life & dignity — Multiple older reviews report missed medications, infrequent bathing, and neglect, making it important to confirm current medication management protocols and care documentation practices.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — While recent visitors describe the building as clean and updated, earlier reviews mention mold and an outdated, poorly maintained interior, so a firsthand tour of the specific unit and common areas is worth doing.
- Communication — Some families describe past difficulty reaching staff by phone and unclear updates on their loved one's condition, so ask how the community currently keeps families informed.
