Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across more than three decades of licensure, this small 10-bed home has recorded 6 Type A findings (the most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and 7 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting requirements).
- Recent 3 years — The two inspections conducted in 2024 and 2025 turned up no Type A or Type B citations, suggesting the more concerning findings are concentrated earlier in the home's history rather than reflecting current conditions.
- Complaints — All 4 complaint allegations investigated over the years were substantiated, a 100% substantiation rate, though none of the complaint activity falls within the past three years.
- Operating tenure — More than 30 years of continuous licensure gives real weight to the recent clean stretch, since it reflects a sustained operating history rather than a brief lucky streak.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the Type A findings involved and what changes were made afterward?
- 2.What corrective actions were taken for the 4 substantiated allegations, and how were they verified by the state?
- 3.Has staffing, ownership, or management changed in the past few years that might explain the improved recent inspection results?

AI review summary
Most families praise the clean, home-like setting and attentive caregivers, but one review raises concerns about staff turnover and management conduct worth asking about directly.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Atmosphere & grounds — Reviewers repeatedly describe the home as clean, spacious, well lit, and peaceful, with well-groomed grounds and a relaxing atmosphere.
- Staff & care — Caregivers are frequently called friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and treating residents like family.
- Dining — Families mention meals smell and taste good and that nutrition and healthy diets are prioritized for residents.
- Daily life & dignity — Residents have benefited from personal touches like walking paths, outdoor access, and an open-door visitation policy that welcomes friends and family.
- Staff & care — One reviewer described frequent staff turnover every few months and inadequate training time before new caregivers started, which could matter especially for residents with dementia.
- Communication — A family should ask how leadership handles conflicts or feedback, since one review described the owner speaking sharply to staff in front of residents and family.
- Daily life & dignity — It's worth confirming nighttime staffing and call-bell availability, since one reviewer noted her mother had no way to call for help at night.
