What this means for your family

The facility is praised for its compassionate and efficient staff, making it a potentially supportive environment for your loved one. However, because multiple families have reported inconsistent communication and food quality, we recommend scheduling a tour during meal times and asking specifically about their process for keeping families updated on resident status.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given that you have a smaller community of 45 residents, how do you ensure that families stay well-informed and connected regarding their loved one's daily progress?
  • 2We understand that nutrition is a key part of resident well-being; could you tell us about the current process for gathering resident feedback on meal preferences and how you work to ensure consistent quality?
  • 3With your 5-star CMS health inspection rating, what specific protocols do you have in place to maintain such high standards of care during daily operations?
  • 4Since your staffing rating is a 4 out of 5, could you walk us through how your team manages coverage to ensure that residents receive attentive care around the clock?
  • 5What does a typical social or activity calendar look like for a resident here, and how do you encourage participation for those who might be a bit more reserved?
  • 6In the event of a medical emergency, what is the immediate process for stabilizing a resident and how quickly are family members typically notified?

Key Review Excerpts

The only issues I have with them is that sometimes the food isn't very good and there is a lack of communication. The social worker is wonderful and the staff tries very hard to do a good job.

Both RN and total nursing hours are below national benchmarks. This can mean less clinical attention per resident, so ask about their staffing plan.

1 complaint-triggered

One family filed a complaint resulting in a corrected deficiency for accident hazards, and the facility shows persistent problems with fire safety systems, electrical safety, and food handling across all four surveys from 2021-2025. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the recurring nature of safety violations in these core areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss directly with administrators.
