“I think upper management is great. They always have a smile, know everybody's names, and are so friendly, saying hello and giving out hugs. The staff are great about helping my husband at mealtimes, and they get him out, like taking him to a pizza place on the bus. His caregivers are so good, respectful and welcoming, and they communicate well with our daughter. Housekeeping does a nice job, and maintenance came and fixed a leak quickly. I feel very safe here and have recommended it to other people.”

DPH does not post routine inspection reports for assisted living (community residential care) online. This page lists only the enforcement orders DPH publishes each month: administrative orders, consent orders, suspensions and revocations, with the violations DPH cited. Most inspections do not lead to an order, so a community with no order here can still have had citations. You can ask DPH for a community's inspection reports, and you can ask the community to show you its most recent one. This community is licensed for 118 residents.
