Cost concerns and added fees
Families flag the overall price as high and not always explained up front.
Some reviews call out the community as expensive compared with what they expected, and at least one family describes a surprise community fee added after initial discussions. Another review also raises concerns about services feeling like they are nickel-and-dimed and about promises not matching what was delivered. Those comments suggest that getting full clarity on what is included before move-in matters here.
