- Track record — Across more than two decades of licensure, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 10 Type A and 11 Type B findings, a substantial lifetime count that families should weigh alongside the more recent record.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, spanning 2022 through 2025, show zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating a meaningfully stronger trajectory in recent years.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has occurred in 23 years, and the associated allegations were unfounded rather than substantiated, with zero substantiated allegations on record overall.
- Operating tenure — 23 years of continuous licensure gives real weight to the recent clean stretch, since it reflects sustained performance rather than a short or untested history.
- 1.Can you walk us through what led to the Type A findings earlier in the home's history and what changed to produce the clean record over the past three years?
- 2.What specific practices or staffing changes were put in place after those earlier citations to prevent recurrence?
- 3.Is there anything from the 2021 complaint investigation, even though it was unfounded, that prompted a review of policies or procedures?

AI review summary
Families overwhelmingly praise the hands-on, nurse-led care and homelike atmosphere, but should ask about English fluency among staff and how sales conversations are handled during difficult times.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe the owners, one a nurse practitioner, as attentive, compassionate, and closely involved in residents' medical needs, including accompanying them to appointments and hospital visits.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Many describe the home as clean, spacious, and genuinely homelike rather than institutional, with residents appearing comfortable and well cared for.
- Dining — The homemade meals, often with an Eastern European influence, are frequently called healthy and delicious, with owners accommodating special dietary requests and occasional treats.
- Value & pricing — Several reviewers felt the level of individualized attention and care was a strong value given the small, home-based setting.
- Daily life & dignity — Families note the owners go beyond basic care, helping with grooming routines, errands, and small gestures like flowers or favorite foods to lift residents' spirits.
- Communication — A couple of reviewers mention that some staff are more comfortable speaking languages other than English, which led to feelings of isolation for at least one resident, so families should ask about language support.
- Activities — One reviewer noted there are no formal activities and limited opportunities to socialize beyond the other residents, so it's worth asking how social engagement is structured.
- Sales approach — One reviewer described feeling pressured during a difficult family situation, so it may help to ask how the community handles admissions conversations during end-of-life circumstances.
