Care staffing changes raise concerns
A couple of reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and whether promises for care follow through.
One review describes a decline in staffing over time and suggests the remaining coverage isn’t sufficient for residents needing help, citing examples around morning routines. Another review says that when more care was needed, commitments about increased support weren’t consistently met. These concerns stand out against the many reviews that describe nursing and caregiving as attentive and supportive.

Pricing increases and fees frustrate families
Several families question pricing increases, add-ons, and how cost changes are handled.
Some reviewers describe major rent or fee increases over time, including situations where the cost rose after a change in care level. There are also complaints about difficulty getting an explanation for certain increases and charges, which adds frustration for families managing fixed incomes. The community’s pricing for different unit types runs roughly below the county in some cases, but reviews still focus on how specific increases and point-based add-ons affected their experience.
