Support can be limited for needs
Residents note that the community does not function like assisted living for everyday help.
At least a couple of reviewers describe a need for additional help that they did not feel the community provided, expecting extra hiring and added cost. One review also explicitly contrasts the setting with assisted living and ties that distinction to how issues were handled.

Several reviews raise cost concerns, including comments that units feel small for the price and that certain maintenance work is billed separately. There are also complaints about deposit charges and other payments tied to upkeep or unit condition. One reviewer sums up the experience as ultimately being more about money than people, while describing multiple charges and a move-out process that escalated.
