Rooms and expectations can differ
Some reviewers say the rooms can feel smaller or different than expected.
A couple of reviews describe disappointment with what was shown or how the apartments felt in person, including comments about size and layout. One reviewer also felt the website floor plans made things look more apartment-like than they did on site, and recommended going in person. While others describe apartments as clean and the right size, these comments are the clearest recurring housing-related drawback.

It emphasizes care strategies focused on comfort and dignity, the importance of advance directives, and the emotional support needed for family caregivers facing this challenging journey.
