“This place has been a lifesaver for us. Leadership is compassionate, caring, and involved at every level. The food is fresh, hot, and beautifully presented; having lunch with my brother is a treat. There's always something going on, from holiday events to a rodeo barbecue. Laundry is returned together so nothing gets lost, and they let me know when he needs new clothes. The maintenance staff steps right in, and the whole team coordinates well. I've already recommended it and will tell everybody about it.”

“Management has been very accommodating, straightforward, and very kind. The bingo lady is wonderful and has taken my sister under her wing, going out of her way to make sure she participates. When my sister came back after time away, they welcomed her back with open arms. The caregivers are all really sweet and take good care of her. Of the places I've looked at, this was by far the best one I've seen.”
“The nurse on staff is amazing. She keeps up with everything, lets me know when something needs to change, and for as many people as are in the facility, does a really good job of personalizing my dad's care.

Earlier license at this community
- License 455002545, closed November 23, 2022: the state’s records
A new license is issued when a community changes owners or operators. Records under an earlier license may describe a different operator.
What these terms mean
Type A citations are for “the most serious type of violations in which there is an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of those in care,” and are issued “even if the violation is corrected on the spot.”
Type B citations are for “a violation that, if not corrected, may [pose] an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of clients,” such as faulty medical record keeping or staff training.
CCLD: “There is no difference between an inconclusive and an unsubstantiated complaint allegation. Both terms mean that there was no preponderance of evidence to prove that an alleged violation occurred.” Allegations CCLD finds unfounded are also not substantiated.
This community is licensed for 65 residents; larger communities are visited and complained about more often, so read counts with size in mind.
