Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across 4.9 years of licensure, this small 6-bed home has one lifetime Type A citation and two Type B (administrative, paperwork-type) citations, alongside a single complaint investigation that did not substantiate.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, running through September 2025, show no Type A or Type B citations and no complaint investigations, indicating the record has strengthened since the earlier finding.
- Operating tenure — Just under five years of licensed operation with four inspections and one complaint cycle is enough history to give the recent clean stretch some weight, though it remains a mid-length track record rather than a long one.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has occurred in the home's history, and it was not substantiated, suggesting the Type A finding likely came from a routine inspection rather than a reported concern.

- Atmosphere & grounds — The home and backyard are described as bright, welcoming, and pleasant, with flowers, fruit trees, and comfortable outdoor seating.
- Financial transparency — Reviews don't discuss pricing or how costs may change if a resident's care needs increase, so this is worth clarifying directly.
- Staff & care — Since the glowing reviews center on two specific caregivers, families should ask about overall staffing levels, coverage during time off, and consistency of care.
