Solid safety record
A mostly clean inspection record: 2 serious and 3 minor citations across 30 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Nothing here stands out as a red flag, though it's still worth asking how any past issues were resolved.
Cordon Bleu-trained chef on staff

Physical, speech, and occupational therapy are offered directly at the facility, reducing the need for outside transport appointments.
Memory care with secured unit
Dedicated secured-bed memory care unit for residents with dementia or other cognitive impairment, separate from the general assisted living population.
