- Track record — Over more than 15 years licensed, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 4 Type A findings and 7 Type B findings, the latter being administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps rather than care concerns.
- Recent 3 years — Of the lifetime Type A total, 2 occurred within the past three years, meaning the most severe findings are not confined to the distant past but include recent activity that families should ask about directly.
- Complaints — 4 of 9 investigated allegations were substantiated, a roughly 44% substantiation rate, and all 4 substantiated allegations fall within the recent three-year window.
- Operating tenure — More than 15 years of continuous licensure gives a fairly long track record to weigh, though the concentration of findings in the last few years is worth more attention than the lifetime total alone.

AI review summary
Most families report deeply attentive, personalized care in a beautiful small setting, though one account of inconsistent staffing and communication is worth asking about.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe caregivers and the owner-administrator as attentive, compassionate, and responsive, especially for residents with dementia, hospice needs, or frailty.
- Dining — Meals are consistently praised as plentiful, high quality, and often customized to individual residents' preferences.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The home is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and set on scenic grounds with panoramic hill views, feeling more like a residence than an institution.
- Communication — Several families note the owner keeps them promptly informed of changes in condition or medication, easing worry about being out of the loop.
- Activities — Residents have access to music, art, and occasional visits from a piano player, plus outside visits from chaplains, nurses, and social workers, though offerings are limited given the small resident count.
- Communication — One family described intermittent communication with the owner and concerns about his demeanor, which contrasts with other accounts of high responsiveness worth clarifying on a tour.
- Staff & care — A single review reported high caregiver turnover, seeing five different individuals over six months, so it's worth asking about staff retention and screening practices.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Most reviews describe the property as spotless, but one mentioned declining outdoor upkeep over time, so confirm current grounds maintenance during a visit.
- Value & pricing — Reviews describe the facility as pricey with good perceived value, but families should confirm current costs and how they scale with increasing care needs.
