common
Dining quality is a mixed point

Pricing feels high for some families
Several reviews call out cost concerns, including overall pricing and fee expectations.
Some families say the community is expensive or out of their budget, and one review argues it is overpriced for the level of service. Another review describes an additional charge approach when a resident passed away, stating that room-rate days were charged even after belongings were cleared. A few other reviews donāt frame pricing as a problem, but the negative cost stories are specific enough to be a recurring consideration.

Many families describe an active schedule, including on-site programming and community-sponsored activities, and they say residents stay engaged.
