Reviews describe both strong dementia-focused support and serious concerns about memory care safety and staffing.

Dining gets strong reviews
Residents and families frequently praise the quality and variety of the meals.
Multiple reviews highlight dining as a standout, describing it as tasty and varied, with residents enjoying what’s offered day to day.

A few reviews go the other direction, including complaints about food quality. The community does offer restaurant-style dining, anytime dining, room service, and a range of dietary options to support different needs.

Price feels high for some families
A subset of reviewers say the overall cost and add-on fees can be difficult to manage.
One reviewer calls out high fees for rooms and extra items, while another says the community is expensive even though they still describe many things positively. That pricing concern is specifically tied to affordability and perceived value rather than cleanliness or care quality. The pricing range spans multiple unit types, and it is positioned as slightly below county averages but above state averages across most categories. If budget matters, reviewers’ comments suggest confirming what’s included versus what may be billed separately.
