AI summary

Enchanted Garden For Seniors has 1 Type A citation (the most severe class, involving resident safety or care) across 19 years of licensed operation, with no findings of any kind in the two inspections conducted over the past three years.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over nearly two decades of operation this small 6-bed home has accumulated one Type A citation and seven Type B (administrative, paperwork-related) citations, a modest total for the length of time it has been licensed.
  • Recent 3 years — The two most recent inspections, in 2024 and 2025, produced no Type A or Type B citations at all, suggesting the record has strengthened in the recent period.
  • Operating tenure — Nineteen years of continuous licensure gives substantial confidence in this pattern, since it reflects many inspection cycles rather than a short or thin history.
  • Complaints — There have been no complaint investigations and no substantiated, unsubstantiated, or unfounded allegations at any point in the home's history.

AI review summary

Families consistently praise Enchanted Garden for warm, attentive staff and a genuinely home-like atmosphere, though newer specifics on care coordination and pricing are worth confirming on a tour.

Read Full Summary
What reviewers praise
  • Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe caregivers as cheerful, attentive, and skilled at coordinating with doctors, pharmacists, and therapists during acute situations.
  • Dining — The food is described as beautifully prepared and home-cooked in small quantities, avoiding the institutional feel of meals made for large groups.
  • Atmosphere & grounds — The wrap-around deck, garden, and quiet residential setting create a peaceful, home-like environment that families and residents enjoy together.
  • Activities — Daily life includes chair exercises, bingo, TV gatherings for sports, planned outings, and family parties that residents look forward to.
  • Daily life & dignity — Residents feel respected and cared for personally, with one describing being treated like royalty rather than just receiving board-and-care services.
Worth asking about
  • Financial transparency — Reviews don't discuss pricing structure or how costs change if a resident's care needs increase, so families should ask about this directly on a tour.
  • Staff & care — While weekday attentiveness is praised, families should confirm overnight and weekend staffing levels since this isn't addressed in the reviews.
