Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over more than three and a half decades of licensure, the community has accumulated 2 Type A findings and 2 Type B (administrative) findings, a light footprint for a 189-bed community operating that long.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent dated visits, including two complaint investigations, produced zero Type A or Type B citations and zero substantiated allegations, showing a clean and stable recent trajectory.
- Complaints — Of the 14 allegations investigated over the license's lifetime, 2 were substantiated and 12 were unsubstantiated, and both substantiated allegations date to before the recent clean stretch.
- Operating tenure — More than 36 years of continuous licensure gives real weight to the recent clean record, since it reflects sustained performance rather than a short or untested history.

- Communication — The executive director is praised for responsive, transparent leadership, including weekly updates that report average response times of under five minutes.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The facility is described as clean, well-maintained, and welcoming, with a comfortable, homey feel that residents and families appreciate.
- Daily life & dignity — Onsite religious services, including Mass and Communion for Catholic residents, are highlighted as meaningful, alongside thoughtfully prepared holiday meals and decor.
- Value & pricing — Tours and reviews note that rooms are competitively priced with a number of amenities included.
- Financial transparency — Families should verify how pricing and monthly fees change when a resident transitions between independent living, assisted living, and memory care.
- Communication — One review noted isolation effects during the pandemic that led to a resident needing a higher level of care, so it's worth asking how staffing and engagement are handled during any future disruptions.
