Cost concerns and extra charges
Some reviewers say the overall price feels high and may come with additional costs.
A recurring concern is that the community is expensive, with at least one reviewer noting they could not afford the higher monthly amount mentioned during their search. Another review says there are additional costs on top of rent depending on care level, and that certain medication-related support was not included at one level. Even while some families recommend the community, they still flag cost as a barrier for prospective residents who need more services.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Communication can be inconsistent
A couple of reviews describe issues with communication during urgent situations.
One reviewer reports delayed or insufficient response after a resident appeared distressed, followed by hospitalization, and also says official updates were not received. Another reviewer describes difficulty getting improvements made after raising concerns with leadership. These accounts focus on how updates and follow-through were handled rather than day-to-day friendliness.
