Several reviewers say the community is pricey for the level of care they expected.

A subset of reviews describes the monthly cost as expensive or not fitting the value they were looking for.

Many reviewers describe the facility as clean, well maintained, and updated, and some specifically praise cleanliness and overall condition.
