Security and CNA expectations vary

One reviewer says they were not upfront about not having CNAs on staff and that the community is more independent-living focused than an ALF. Another reviewer describes a lack of a locked, secure memory-care part and notes that a resident who needed more security was no longer able to stay there. If secure supervision is a priority, these reviews suggest confirming support details before moving forward.
