Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over 17.5 years of operation, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 6 Type A citations (the state's most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 23 Type B citations (administrative issues like paperwork or posting requirements).
- Recent 3 years — Of the lifetime Type A total, 2 were issued within the past three years, both tied to a single complaint investigation in late 2025, so the most severe findings are not evenly spread across the licensed period but concentrated recently.
- Complaints — 6 of 6 recent substantiated allegations came from just 1 complaint investigation, and lifetime, roughly 43% of investigated allegations (6 of 14) were substantiated, which is a notable share worth discussing directly.
- Operating tenure — A 17.5-year operating history gives real signal here, but the clustering of recent findings suggests something changed in the last year or two rather than a long-standing pattern.
- 1.Can you walk through what happened in the November 2025 complaint investigation and the two Type A citations that resulted?
- 2.What corrective actions were taken for the 6 substantiated allegations, and how were they verified by the state?
- 3.Have staffing, training, or care procedures changed since the 2025 findings to prevent recurrence?

AI review summary
Families overwhelmingly praise this small home-style care home for its warm, family-like atmosphere and homemade meals, but a serious 2017 allegation of missed infection signs warrants direct questions about staff medical training.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers consistently describe the owner and staff as deeply caring, attentive, and treating residents like family members rather than clients.
- Dining — Meals are repeatedly praised as homemade, delicious, and tailored to residents' dietary needs, standing out from processed institutional food.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The small, home-based setting with just 5-6 residents, a garden, and living/dining rooms gives families a homey feel many say they preferred over larger facilities.
- Communication — Many families highlight prompt updates from the owner about health changes and openness to family suggestions, including help staying connected via video chat.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Multiple reviewers over many years note the home is consistently clean, tidy, and well kept, even on unannounced visits.
- Staff & care — One review describes a resident's fatal infection allegedly missed due to inadequate staff training, a serious claim families should ask about directly, including current caregiver qualifications and medical response protocols.
- Financial transparency — A couple of reviews mention unclear or hard-to-estimate add-on costs and pricing that runs higher than comparable homes, so families should get a full written cost breakdown before committing.
- Activities — A few reviewers felt activity options were limited, suggesting families confirm what stimulation and social programming is currently offered.
