- Track record — Over more than three decades of operation, the community has accumulated 6 Type A findings and 9 Type B (administrative) findings, alongside 35 complaint investigations, a substantial history for a 130-bed community operating this long.
- Recent 3 years — The past three years show a materially cleaner pattern: 5 inspections and 10 complaint investigations with zero Type A citations, zero Type B citations, and zero substantiated allegations, suggesting a stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime totals alone would suggest.
- Complaints — Complaint investigations (35) far outnumber routine inspections (5) over the license period, and of the allegations investigated lifetime, about 13% were substantiated (9 of roughly 69), with the bulk closed as unsubstantiated or unfounded.
- Operating tenure — With nearly 33 years of continuous licensure, this community has a long operating history, giving real weight to the recent clean stretch as a genuine shift rather than a small sample.

- 2.What changes were made operationally that align with the past three years having no Type A or Type B findings?
- 3.How does the community handle and track complaint investigations internally, given the higher volume of complaints relative to routine inspections?

AI review summary
Older reviews show friendly, attentive staff under newer management, but serious past allegations of neglect, poor food, and unsanitary conditions demand direct verification before moving in.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Multiple reviewers describe staff and administration, particularly under newer management, as friendly, helpful, and attentive to resident needs.
- Communication — At least one reviewer praised an administrator for being available to listen to concerns and problem-solve alongside families.
- Daily life & dignity — Reviewers note that laundry, room cleaning, medication dispensing, bathing, and dining assistance are included in the cost of care.
- Activities — Residents have access to activities such as bingo, bunko, a pool table, and a weekly shopping outing, though the latter is not accessible to wheelchair users.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — Several reviews, including more recent ones, describe dirty conditions, odorous carpets, and outdated paint and flooring that families should inspect firsthand.
- Staff & care — Serious past allegations include neglect, rough handling, and inconsistent medication administration, so families should ask pointed questions about current staff training, ratios, and oversight.
- Dining — Food quality is described very differently across reviews, from no complaints to spoiled or insufficient meals, making it worth sampling a meal on a tour.
- Financial transparency — One reviewer found that paying for a higher level of care did not result in a noticeable change in services, so families should clarify exactly what each care tier includes before enrolling.
