- Track record — Across almost 16 years licensed, the community accumulated 6 Type A and 5 Type B citations along with 5 complaint investigations, which is a meaningful lifetime total worth understanding in context.
- Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections, running from late 2022 through late 2025, show zero Type A or Type B citations and no complaint investigations, indicating a cleaner and more stable stretch than the earlier record.
- Complaints — All 5 complaint investigations occurred more than three years ago, and none of the 16 allegations investigated were substantiated, meaning the concerns raised were not confirmed on review.
- Operating tenure — With nearly 16 years of continuous licensure, there is a long operating history to weigh the improved recent trend against, rather than judging the community on a short track record.
- 1.Can staff walk through what led to the Type A citations issued in earlier years and what changes were made afterward?
- 2.What steps has the community taken since 2022 to sustain the cleaner inspection results seen in the past three years?
- 3.Were any of the unsubstantiated allegations related to recurring concerns, and how were they addressed even without formal substantiation?

AI review summary
Long-term families report devoted, hands-on caregiving in a beautiful setting, but staffing shortages have left activities and dining inconsistent and should be checked in person.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Multiple long-term families describe staff as loving, patient, and deeply attentive, with some caregivers hand-feeding residents for years and forming close personal bonds.
- Communication — Reviewers consistently praise the owner for being responsive to concerns and welcoming unannounced visits at any time of day.
- Atmosphere & grounds — Several reviews describe the facility and grounds as beautiful and well-kept.
- Financial transparency — Long-term families note they are not charged surprise extra fees and feel confident their loved ones' costs stay predictable.
- Activities — More recent reviews describe a lack of engaging activities and inconsistent transportation for outings, attributed to staffing shortages, so ask what a typical week's activity calendar looks like now.
- Staff & care — A couple of reviews mention the facility could use additional aides to keep up with resident needs, worth confirming current staffing ratios.
- Dining — Feedback on food is mixed, with some calling it acceptable but improvable, so ask to see a sample menu and taste a meal on tour.
- Cleanliness & maintenance — One older, isolated review raised serious concerns about odor and hygiene that are not echoed elsewhere, so it's worth directly observing cleanliness and resident care during a visit.
