On 08/21/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Renee Campbell arrived unannounced to conduct an annual inspection. LPA Campbell met with Renee Little, Administrator and Sarah Rico, House Manager and explained the purpose of the visit. There are currently 29 people in residence in the facility.

The facility is a one story building licensed to serve 32 ambulatory or non-ambulatory clients, age 60 and over. It is also approved for 2 hospice residents. LPA Campbell inspected the physical plant including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and common areas. LPA Campbell observed the community to be well lit, clean, free from odor and in good repair. During a tour of the community, the fire extinguishers were observed to have last been inspected on 05/06/2025 and were fully charged. Staff conducted smoke and carbon monoxide alarm tests and they were found to be functioning. The temperature for the inside of the physical plant was observed to be 70 degrees Fahrenheit, which is within the required range of 68 and 85 degrees. The water temperature for the resident bathrooms was measured at 118 degree Fahrenheit. There are no bodies of water present on the premises.
