- Track record — A total of 21 Type A citations, the state's most severe class tied to resident safety or care, and 8 Type B administrative citations have accumulated since licensing in late 2020, a volume that is high relative to the community's operating tenure.
- Recent 3 years — Of the lifetime Type A total, 3 were issued within the past three years, meaning the majority of the severe findings occurred earlier in the licensed period, but the recent slice is not clean and should be treated as an active pattern rather than historical noise.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations have surged recently, with 13 in the past three years compared to zero recorded across the rest of the licensed period, and roughly 35% of all investigated allegations (25 of 71) have been substantiated.
- Operating tenure — With only 5.7 years of licensed operation and 5 total inspections, this record reflects a relatively short but active history, giving families a fairly concentrated window into how the community has been run.

AI review summary
The Lexington earns consistent praise for warm, caring staff and a homelike atmosphere, but families should dig into memory care staffing levels and how pricing changes as care needs increase.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe caregivers and administrative staff as friendly, warm, and attentive, with several families singling out specific staff members for going above and beyond.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Many tours and stays are described as clean, comfortable, and homelike, with a courtyard, pool, and inviting common areas frequently mentioned as highlights.
- Activities — Residents have access to a steady variety of activities, entertainment, and social events like ice cream socials, happy hour, and outings, though some note memory care residents get fewer options.
- Dining — Many reviewers call the food good or better than expected, with flexible dining room seating, though a handful describe meals as cold or repetitive.
- Value & pricing — Several families felt they received a good value for the price, especially compared to fancier, more expensive communities they toured.
- Staff & care — Multiple reviews describe memory care as understaffed with low staff-to-resident ratios, leading to residents being left unattended for periods of time.
- Financial transparency — A few families reported unexpected rate increases or disputes over deposits and move-out charges, so it's worth asking how fees are structured and how notice periods work.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — While most call the building clean, a handful of older reviews mention a dated or dark feel and a need for refurbishing such as new carpet and paint.
- Daily life & dignity — A small number of reviewers raised serious concerns about missed medication, infrequent bathing, and lost belongings, which families should specifically ask staff to address.
