12 state citations (4 serious, 8 minor) and 5 verified complaints since 2021 across 24 inspections. Substantiated findings include 2 complaints from October 2024: the facility elevator was not maintained in good repair, and the security gate in the memory care unit was being held closed with a makeshift band and clamp while the facility delayed seeking repair quotes, with the state following up multiple times before the repair was completed. A bed bug infestation identified in September 2024 required temporarily relocating affected residents, heat-treating their clothing and linens, and fumigating and airing out rooms before residents were allowed to return. A 2021 verified complaint found the facility failed to refund a departing resident's community fee within the contractually required 30-day window. The most recent inspection on record was January 9, 2026.

Cats and dogs accepted
Both cats and dogs are welcome in resident apartments. Breed and weight restrictions apply — confirm your pet qualifies before committing.
On-site Memory Care if needs progress
Memory Care is available on the same campus, so a future care-level transition doesn't require moving to a new facility.
Four floor plan types
Studio, Studio Deluxe, One Bedroom, and Alcove layouts — all include patios or balconies, hardwood flooring, and kitchenettes.
Bundled monthly pricing
Facility states the monthly fee covers utilities, maintenance, dining, and community amenities — useful for apples-to-apples budget comparison.
Safety score is 6.0 / 10
Below the 7.0 threshold. Ask on the tour which inspections drove the score and what corrective steps followed.
Faith-based activity programming
"Scripture Reflections" is a named recurring activity. Worth asking how prominent faith-based programming is if that's not a fit for your family.
98-bed community
This is a larger-format facility. Ask about staff-to-resident ratios if a smaller, closer-knit environment is a priority.
