Some operational and cost concerns
A few reviews raise concerns about fees, staffing, and room or access limitations.
While most feedback is positive, a handful of reviews mention issues like staff problems, a community fee that was not refunded as expected, and concerns about room size. Other reported limitations include shower accessibility for a bed-bound spouse and a comment that one loved one was not fully included in community activities as promised.
