Food quality is a mixed point
Food satisfaction varies, with some residents unhappy with options.
Food is discussed more than most other topics, with both praise and frustration. Some residents and families say meals are more than adequate and highlight favorites like salmon, while others call the food over-seasoned, heavy, and lacking lighter, healthier options. There are also complaints about meal variety and portions for specific dietary needs, plus one reviewer who felt improvements were not enough to match the cost. At the same time, other reviews still describe the food as above average or simply good.

Costs and fee increases raise concerns
Several reviewers say pricing and fees feel too high.
Pricing comes up as a recurring concern, especially for families who felt annual rent increases and added care fees were excessive. Some reviewers describe the move-in arrangement as expensive relative to what they experienced, while another said costs rose dramatically and quality declined. One review also links the overall value to understaffing and suggests the price is not justified. Even among more balanced takes, one person notes the price feels high.

Staffing shortages affect response time
Some residents describe understaffing that slowed care.
A few reviewers say staffing levels can be too low at times, with reports of long waits for help and caregivers stretching across roles like activity and housekeeping. There are also concerns about how quickly issues are addressed, including a review describing difficulty getting staff to check on a resident before EMTs arrived. Another reviewer criticizes lack of proper medical treatment and points to understaffing as limiting the care they expected to receive. Other reviews do praise caregivers, but these complaints make staffing a clear point of disagreement.
