    Small attentive home with issues

    I chose this small 15-resident home and I'm very glad I did - the owners (RNs) and caregivers like Alan, Lynn and Luisa are attentive, kind and professional, giving personal, high-quality, compassionate care in a clean, safe, comfortable place with good on-site food. It's not fancy, but residents are well taken care of and never left alone in passing. My only real concerns were some maintenance and cleanliness lapses (dust, outlets/lights, cluttered kitchen) and occasional poor phone/crisis handling.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with most reviewers emphasizing the quality of hands-on care, the attentiveness and compassion of the staff, and the benefits of the facility's small size. Multiple reviews highlight that the owners are registered nurses and are often present, which reinforces confidence in clinical oversight. The facility's 15-resident scale is repeatedly described as enabling personalized attention and close relationships between staff and residents. Several reviewers use words like "attentive," "kind," "professional," and "exceptional" to describe the caregiving team, and specific staff members (Luisa, Alan, Lynn) are named and praised, which suggests consistent, person-centered care from identifiable caregivers.

    Care quality is the most frequently mentioned strength. Reviewers note "high quality" and "no compromise on care," and many accounts point to residents being well supported even during the final stages of life (notably that residents were not alone during passing). Experienced caregivers and owners with clinical training are prominent themes; this combination appears to foster trust and reassurance among family members. The emotional tone around care is warm — adjectives such as "caring professionals," "loving owner," and "amazing staff" recur — indicating not only clinical competence but also compassionate interaction.

    Staff and management receive overall high marks but with some important divergences. Most reviewers describe the staff as excellent, attentive, and responsive. The presence of RN owners is a consistent positive note, and reviewers often describe owners as present and engaged. However, there are isolated critical comments: one reviewer labeled staff "incompetent," another described the owner as "forgetful," and there are complaints about poor phone handling and concerns about crisis response. These more negative reports are comparatively fewer but important: they point to occasional lapses in communication, administrative responsiveness, or crisis management that prospective families may want to probe further.

    Facility and cleanliness feedback is mixed but leans positive. Several reviewers explicitly call the facility clean with no odors and describe it as "beautiful" and comfortable. At the same time, other reviewers report maintenance and housekeeping issues — dingy areas, constant dust, nonworking outlets and bathroom lights, and a small kitchen described as jammed with stuff. This contrast suggests variability in maintenance or differing expectations among reviewers: while many perceive the environment as clean and comfortable, some experienced noticeable upkeep problems that could affect safety and aesthetics. The facility is consistently described as not fancy; reviewers state it is simple and home-like rather than upscale.

    Dining and daily life appear to be strengths: reviewers mention on-site, delicious food and a sense of safety and comfort day-to-day. There is little specific commentary about activities or structured programming in the summaries provided, so no strong conclusions can be drawn about recreational offerings. The dominant impression about daily living is that residents are cared for, fed well, and feel at home.

    Notable patterns and considerations: the dominant theme is excellent, personalized caregiving in a small, professionally overseen setting. Most reviewers express high satisfaction, naming staff members and emphasizing compassion and clinical competence. Counterbalancing this are scattered but substantive concerns about maintenance, occasional staff or administrative lapses (phone/crisis handling), and one or two strong negative impressions of competence. Given the largely positive consensus with a few recurring operational complaints, prospective residents or families should consider an in-person visit to verify current maintenance and cleanliness, ask about procedures for crisis response and after-hours communication, and meet key staff members (including the RN owners) to assess fit and expectations. These steps would help confirm whether the generally strong pattern of care and attentiveness reported by most reviewers aligns with an individual’s needs and priorities.
