Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across 19 years of licensure, the home has one lifetime Type A finding and one substantiated allegation, with no administrative (Type B) citations on record at all.
- Recent 3 years — All three inspections and the one complaint investigation conducted in the past three years came back clean, with no Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated allegations, pointing to a stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone suggests.
- Operating tenure — Nearly two decades of continuous licensure gives this record solid weight — enough inspection cycles have occurred to make the recent clean stretch meaningful rather than a small sample.
- Complaints — Two complaint investigations have been filed over the life of the license, one substantiated and one not, and the more recent of the two closed without any substantiated findings.

AI review summary
Families consistently praise Sage Garden's attentive, home-like caregiving and cleanliness, but should ask about resident social engagement and physical accessibility for wheelchair users.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe caregivers as kind, attentive, and deeply familiar with each resident's needs, with the owner, an RN, personally involved in health oversight.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Multiple families highlight the home as very clean, with residents kept in fresh clothes and well-groomed daily.
- Daily life & dignity — Caregivers are noted for personal touches like styling hair and engaging residents individually, helping families feel their loved ones are respected and cared for.
- Dining — At least one family specifically praised the food quality, saying their mother loves the meals provided.
- Activities — Special touches like guitar music and ball games are mentioned as stimulating additions to daily life in the small, intimate setting.
- Atmosphere & grounds — One reviewer noted the yard was unappealing and the home has only one small bathroom that could be difficult for wheelchair access, so families should tour to assess accessibility firsthand.
- Activities — Another review mentioned that many residents are on hospice care and don't socialize much, leading to isolation for some, so families should ask how the community fosters resident-to-resident engagement.
