past three years.
- Track record — Over its full licensed history the community has drawn 11 Type A and 8 Type B citations, a sizable tally for a 160-bed facility, and this pattern warrants a direct conversation with staff about what drove those findings and what has changed since.
- Recent 3 years — In the past three years, dated inspections show 1 Type A and 1 Type B citation, along with 2 substantiated allegations, meaning the concerning pattern has not fully resolved and remains part of the active record rather than purely historical.
- Complaints — The past three years alone saw 24 complaint investigations against only 3 inspections, a volume that stands out and suggests families and staff have raised concerns often enough to generate repeated state review, even though only 4 of 103 lifetime allegations were ultimately substantiated (about 4%).
- Operating tenure — The community has been licensed since 2011, so this is a long operating history; that tenure means the record reflects a sustained pattern rather than an early-years anomaly, which makes the recent recurrence of a Type A finding worth understanding in context.
- 1.Can staff walk through what the 11 lifetime Type A findings involved and what corrective steps were verified afterward?
- 2.What specifically led to the Type A and Type B citations found in the most recent three years, and what has changed in policy or staffing since?
- 3.Given 24 complaint investigations in the past three years, what are the most common reasons families or staff have filed complaints, and how were the 4 substantiated allegations addressed?

3.6Average RatingAveraged from 57 reviews published on other websites
AI review summary
Most families praise attentive staff, activities, and a beautiful, well-kept community, but a serious recent allegation about medication errors and dishonest reviews warrants careful vetting before committing.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly single out specific caregivers, nurses, and administrators like Carol, Joyce, and Alberta as attentive, patient, and genuinely caring toward residents.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The building is consistently described as beautiful, modern, and clean, with inviting common areas, landscaped grounds, and a homelike feel.
- Activities — Families frequently highlight a lively activities calendar including luaus, day trips, live music, and outings that keep residents engaged and social.
- Communication — Several long-term families say staff kept them well informed about their loved one's care and responded quickly to questions or concerns.
- Value & pricing — Multiple reviewers found pricing reasonable or competitive compared to similar communities in the area.
- Staff & care — One detailed account describes missed medications, delayed notification of medical emergencies, and a serious health crisis, so families should ask directly about medication management protocols and emergency response procedures.
- Communication — A former family member alleged that management was dishonest and that some positive reviews came from staff rather than residents' families, so it's worth asking how the community handles complaints and verifying references independently.
- Daily life & dignity — Earlier reviews mention a change in management and food quality after an initial chef departure, so families should ask about current leadership stability and staff turnover.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — A couple of older reviews described small, dated rooms and ongoing renovations, so it's worth touring current units to confirm their condition matches recent photos and descriptions.
