Cost feels high to some families

A number of families describe the community as expensive for what they expected.

Pricing comes up as a concern in a few reviews, with some families saying they felt they were being asked to pay too much. At the same time, the published price ranges provided here come in below county and state benchmarks for the unit types shown, so families may be reacting to the absolute monthly cost rather than the relative position. One review also discusses respite pricing being lower per day than others, suggesting the overall cost experience may vary by care arrangement.
