Price is a recurring concern

Price is a frequent sticking point, with several reviews calling it expensive.

Cost comes up in multiple ways: some reviews state the community is simply too expensive, while others say the overall monthly fee is high. A couple of people also mention added charges such as extra laundry, and one reviewer notes higher costs can increase as more care is needed. Even where families say the facility is nice, the pricing is still described as a downside that influenced decisions.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Memory care availability is uneven

At least some families report memory care wasn’t readily available when they were looking.

One review says the community didn’t have availability in memory care at the time of inquiry, which led the family to choose something else. Another review describes a negative impression of the dementia portion compared with other facilities visited, noting it felt more depressing.
