No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 18 findings, above the CA average of 15.4. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Families considering this facility can expect a highly compassionate environment characterized by long-tenured staff and a strong focus on dignity for residents. Reviewers frequently praise the attentive care for those with dementia and the clean, welcoming atmosphere, though some older reviews suggest the facility has undergone significant management changes over the years.

Key Review Excerpts
“The attendants have been unfailingly kind and friendly with my mom, even when they have no idea that I am in the vicinity and can observe their actions. She is treated as a real person--with dignity and with gentleness and with sweetness.”
“The caregivers in memory care were loving and supportive in all mothers needs and wants.”
“The food quality is excellent, and if anything, it's too much. Two residences told me that that have to ask for smaller portions.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
