Nursing care gets mixed feedback
Nursing leadership and nursing care quality receive negative feedback in a couple reviews.
While some reviews are broadly positive about care, two reviews raise concerns specifically about nursing care performance. One describes a nursing manager as a reason a move happened, and another says nursing care is not up to par. Both reviews still acknowledge strong aspects of care in other areas, so the concern appears targeted rather than universal.
common4 reviews mention this
Pricing ties to care level
Pricing is described as being tied to the level of care, with mixed experiences.
Some reviewers say they were told pricing is based on a level of care assessment, and that the higher rate matched the amount of support their loved one needed. Others still mention fair pricing, but there is also a strongly negative account about costs changing close to a move-in date. Overall, reviews suggest families may want to clarify how care levels affect daily rates.
