caveat 4 reviews mention this

Care response can be delayed

Some residents and families report call-button and response-time problems during busy periods.

While the community is positioned for assisted-living needs, multiple reviews describe situations where help was not reached promptly after a call button was pressed. One reviewer also describes medication-response concerns and needing to locate staff during a delay. Other critical comments connect the issue to staffing being pulled into non-care duties, which appears to hurt timely support.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Pricing and management concerns

Several reviews question pricing increases and how fee changes were handled.

Some reviewers describe rent and fee increases happening frequently, including a steep increase with short notice. Others criticize management decisions around staffing and service levels, stating that costs rose while they felt resident support declined. These concerns also come with frustration about communication and promised terms not being honored until later leadership changes.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Facility upkeep, elevators, and pool

A few reviews raise concerns about upkeep and building access features like elevators.

Some critical feedback points to disrepair and elevator-related burdens for residents. Other reviews mention the building being older and note access limitations such as only one elevator. There are also mixed comments about the pool, including that it may not feel easily usable for certain mobility needs.

common 4 reviews mention this
