Concerns about care follow-through
Some residents report serious gaps in personal care and medication support.
A small number of reviewers say care fell short for a family member, including bathing and giving medications.

Rent increases draw strong criticism
Some families point to back-to-back rent increases as a dealbreaker.
Two reviewers describe major rent hikes over a relatively short period and connect those increases to staffing stress and overall skimping. Another reviewer mentions the community may be beyond their current financial resources, reinforcing that affordability can be a deciding factor for some. At the same time, the published pricing range sits below county and state benchmarks for both semi-private and private units, which may explain why others describe the value positively despite the negative rent commentary.
