Medical support is part of care
Residents describe care that includes medication support and access to medical oversight.
Reviewers mention a regular doctor who comes in periodically and medical availability such as a doctor-on-call, along with nursing support for medications. Several comments also describe care coordination around assistance needs, including help with bathing and encouragement to stay independent when possible. One reviewer reports dissatisfaction during COVID with how medical visits were handled, reflecting a gap in their experience rather than the broader tone of care described elsewhere.

COVID limits affected activities
COVID-era restrictions reduced certain in-person participation for families.
Some reviewers describe COVID-related limitations, including difficulty with inside visits and pauses or changes to activities during that period. In at least one case, a family member said they learned about courtyard visit options late and only after hearing from someone else. Others describe the workaround as having helped the move-in process, so the impact appears mixed across experiences.

The deductibility of assisted living expenses on taxes hinges on factors like the individual's medical condition and service nature, typically requiring the resident to be "chronically ill" per IRS definitions. Taxpayers may deduct eligible medical expenses related to personal care services but generally not rent unless primarily for medical care, and they should maintain thorough documentation to support claims while considering itemizing versus standard deductions.
