- Track record — Across 10 years of operation this small 6-bed home has recorded 5 Type A findings and 3 Type B (administrative) findings, all inspection-driven since there have been no complaint investigations on file.
- Recent 3 years — The last three annual inspections, in 2023, 2024, and 2025, produced zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating the more recent stretch of operation has been clean.
- Operating tenure — Ten years of licensing with regular annual inspection cycles gives a solid basis for judging the trajectory, and that trajectory has moved from findings-heavy to citation-free in recent visits.
- Complaints — No complaint investigations have ever been filed against this community, and there are no substantiated, unsubstantiated, or unfounded allegations of any kind on record.

AI review summary
A single detailed account raises serious concerns about medication oversight, food quality, cleanliness, and pandemic-era visitation policies that families should thoroughly investigate before choosing this community.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Atmosphere & grounds — The physical location is described as beautiful and visually appealing.
- Staff & care — Frontline staff are described as friendly, even amid broader concerns about training and oversight.
- Staff & care — Ask about staff qualifications and training, particularly who administers medications including narcotics and whether a licensed nurse is regularly on-site rather than delegating clinical tasks to untrained personnel.
- Dining — Ask about meal planning and freshness, since one account describes inconsistent, mismatched meals and reliance on prepackaged food rather than fresh cooking.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Ask about housekeeping routines and how quickly rooms are cleaned and hazards removed, as one review described a moldy item left in a resident's room.
- Communication — Ask directly about current visitation policies, infection-control practices, and how the community communicates and applies rules consistently across families, since past pandemic-era restrictions were described as inconsistent and poorly explained.
