Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Over almost 22 years, this small 6-bed home has accumulated 2 Type A citations (the state's most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 10 Type B citations (administrative issues like paperwork or posting), which for a home this size and tenure reflects a long history with only isolated severe findings.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, spanning 2021 through 2025, show zero Type A or Type B citations, indicating a clean and stable stretch following whatever earlier issues drove the lifetime totals.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has been filed in the entire licensed period, and the single allegation was unsubstantiated, meaning it was investigated but not confirmed.

- Cleanliness & maintenance — Multiple tours describe the home and residents as clean, neat, and well maintained, with private rooms and step-free bathrooms.
- Value & pricing — One reviewer noted extra fees for doctor house calls, so families should confirm which services are included versus billed separately.
- Dining — No reviewer described meals being prepared or served, so families should ask about typical dining routines and diet accommodations firsthand.
- Daily life & dignity — One visitor felt parts of the house had a slightly tired feel, so touring in person to assess current condition is worthwhile.
