Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across more than two decades of licensing, the home has never received a Type A citation, the state's most severe class tied to resident safety or care, and has a single Type B administrative finding on its record.
- Recent 3 years — The one Type B citation and the one substantiated allegation both fall within the last three years, meaning the entire history of findings is recent rather than spread across the full 24.5-year tenure.
- Complaints — A single complaint investigation was filed and substantiated; the home has no unsubstantiated or unfounded allegations on record, so this is the only allegation history to ask about.
- Operating tenure — With over 24 years of continuous licensing and only four inspections generating any citation history, this is a long, largely clean operating record for a small 6-bed home.

Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe the caregivers and administrator as kind, attentive, and treating residents like family, even for those needing full-time or bedridden care.
- Daily life & dignity — Families say staff worked hard to keep residents safe, clean, comfortable, and to make them feel genuinely at home.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The home is described as small, clean, and welcoming, with a pleasant landscaped patio and yard that reviewers say is a lovely place to spend time outdoors.
- Communication — Families note that staff listened to and responded promptly to their requests and kept them closely involved in their loved one's care.
- Activities — One reviewer suggested more outings and off-site activities since residents mostly stay in the house, so families should ask about the current activity calendar and any community outings.
- Value & pricing — One family found costs became prohibitive over time, so it's worth confirming current rates and how pricing changes as care needs increase.
