caveat2 reviews mention this
Pricing is a recurring concern
Some reviewers say the rates can feel pricey compared to what they expected.
While many families highlight value and care, a couple of reviews explicitly mention that the rates aren’t cheap. At the same time, the pricing summary shows unit types priced well below county and state benchmarks across the range shown. This creates a split between how pricing lands subjectively in reviews and how it compares in the available price deltas.

Dementia, particularly Lewy body dementia, often involves hallucinations that can significantly distress both patients and caregivers due to disruptions in sensory processing and neurotransmitter imbalances. Effective management includes compassionate communication, environmental adjustments, and a multidisciplinary approach to care while addressing the emotional needs of caregivers.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that significantly impacts memory and cognitive functions, accounting for 60-80% of dementia cases, with early diagnosis being crucial yet challenging. It involves brain changes like beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles, influenced by genetic and lifestyle factors, and while there is no cure, symptom management and support for caregivers are essential.
Dementia, influenced by aging and certain medications, may be exacerbated by drug classes such as anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics, which are associated with cognitive impairment. Regular medication reviews by healthcare professionals are crucial for older adults to manage risks and optimize cognitive health.
