Pricing includes a community fee
Pricing can require planning for a separate community fee, and value varies by family.
Several reviewers mention the cost structure and how it affected their decision. Some describe a separate community fee that caught them off guard, while others say the overall price point felt competitive or reasonable after considering what’s included for care. One family also references choosing the community partly due to balancing brand-new cleanliness and location against the fee.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Some care and oversight concerns
A small number of reviews describe serious care or oversight problems.
Not all experiences are positive. One reviewer alleges a resident was not provided supper and did not receive prescribed pain medication after a hospital transfer, and another describes major management problems and staff treatment issues. These accounts point to concerns about attention to basic needs and how well the operation is managed.
