Pricing runs higher than many options
Cost is a recurring concern, with at least some reviewers noting it may be more expensive than other facilities.
Some families explicitly reference higher costs compared with other residential options, even while still describing the care as worth it for their situation. The pricing figures provided for the community place it well above county and state benchmarks across unit types, which supports why cost comes up when people compare alternatives. For families weighing options, this is one of the clearest tradeoffs mentioned alongside the care and environment they describe.
