Solid safety record
A mostly clean inspection record: 0 serious and 0 minor citations across 5 state inspections. Nothing here stands out as a red flag, though it's still worth asking how any past issues were resolved.

Independent living, assisted living, and a 33-bed skilled nursing care center are all on one campus, so care transitions don't require relocation.
