Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

My mother lived in this home for the last 5 months of her life. She immediately felt at home there. The staff are kind gentle and patient. It is a small home where everyone feels welcome and at ease. I cannot say enough about the staff. Angels.

The facility was clean, they catered to his food preferences, and at the end they helped…

After trying a number of places, I finally found Gentle Home Care. They have been amazing for my 92-year-old mom. She was fighting every other place I took her to and here she smiles and laughs. It's a home with six residents and I have become friends with most of them. It's such a lovely group of super caring people who really understand seniors and know how to create a community and atmosphere…
