visits.
- Track record — The lifetime total of 7 Type A and 5 Type B findings across more than 13 years suggests a home that has had recurring compliance challenges rather than a single isolated incident.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years of dated inspections and complaint visits show zero Type A citations and just one Type B citation, indicating the more recent operating period looks meaningfully cleaner than the lifetime record.
- Complaints — One substantiated allegation appears in the record, with a roughly 20% substantiation rate across the two complaint investigations conducted; the substantiated case falls within the recent three-year window.
- Operating tenure — With over 13 years of continuous licensure and 5 lifetime inspections plus 2 complaint investigations, there is a reasonably long track record to draw on, and the small 6-bed size naturally limits the volume of findings compared to larger communities.
- 1.Can you walk through what led to the Type A citations earlier in the home's history and what has changed operationally since then?
- 2.What category did the substantiated allegation from the recent complaint investigation fall into, and what corrective action was taken and verified?
- 3.What specific practices or staffing changes account for the cleaner compliance record over the past three years?

AI review summary
Families describe attentive, family-like care for their loved one, though the reviews are too limited to confirm details on pricing, staffing levels, or daily programming.

- Staff & care — Reviewers consistently praise the staff for providing attentive, top-notch care that feels like family.
- Daily life & dignity — Families feel their loved ones are treated with genuine warmth and personal attention rather than routine service.
- Financial transparency — The reviews don't address costs or fee structures, so families should confirm pricing and how costs may change as care needs increase.
- Communication — It's worth asking how the community keeps families updated on day-to-day changes in a resident's condition or care plan.
- Activities — There's no mention of daily programming or social activities, so tour visits should include a look at the activity calendar.
